Little shits made a liar out of me.   RIGHT when I think they are maturing.  Making better choices.  growing even.  they do this....
They did this once before.
Only that time I honestly was so beside myself that I didn't take a picture.  It was so bad my neighbor came over and helped me clean it up.   The first time they sprayed all the way up my cabinets and over the wall to the living room/office.   They also sprayed water for 39 minutes that day. (I was mowing the lawn and had locked them out, or so I thought)  Today it was only 5minutes.
Such terrors.

I finished vacuuming the big boys room.   Which is where I was.  downstairs vacuuming.   because I knew that heads would roll if I went up while the idea of what they had done was sitting fresh on my already hot head.

I didn't lay a finger on them.   But Cam Ryan and Nathan played downstairs while I sopped up the mess and I could hear them slamming doors and opening them and screaming to scare each other and I knew.  I knew what would happen.   Sure enough Ryan went to open the door right as Cam went to push it open.  BAM.   He got hit with the door and as luck would have it Nate was right on his heels and BAM. he flew back and hit Nate.   Both little boys were screaming.   I could hear Cam asking them if they were ok.   Let me see, he'd say.  
I listened closely and kept pushing towels....only I had a smirk on the inside....and I said out loud.  "dang Karma....you're fast."

They cried.  I checked them both out.  They were both fine.   I put jammies on them and laid them in their beds.   Normally someone has to lay with Ryan.   and that somebody is J...because well. she started that nonsense.   When she's out of town, which is often enough, I end up dealing with it.
This trip I refused.  and guess what ?   The little dude has gone to sleep on his own.  2 nights in a row.

It's just so peaceful when they sleep.   Why can't 12 hours be enough for me ?    I want to be awake the whole time they sleep so as to enjoy more of the quiet....and then I'll sleep most of the time they are awake.   oooh, I really like the idea of that.   and then I just glanced up at the picture and what was accomplished in a mere few minutes and it all comes back to me....DON'T EVER VACUUM !
and it's probably not a good idea to close your eyes when theirs are open.  ever.
