Not Me! Monday: When 5 kids attack....

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama (click on the above button!). You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I did NOT go downstairs to the basement (aka: playland) to find water dripping from the ceiling. I did not call Josh in a panic saying, "Guess what else is wrong!!!" I did not interrogate the oldest child and actually ask her, "What did Ethan do???" The answer:

"Well....ACTUALLY, ummmmm......we were trying to HELP you."

<-- The dynamic duo being interrogated....

When questioned further I did NOT learn that Reagan and Ethan tried watering daddy's plant all by them selves. They over filled it and water flowed into a register. It traveled from the register to the basement. I did NOT hug them in relief! NOT ME! I was NOT just so relieved that it was not a bigger issue!!!!!!!!

Joel has a new trick! He likes to climb on things. Anything he can reach, he's climbing on. It's cute, but it means a whole new level of baby-proofing.....and I DID NOT let Joel out of his booster seat first just so I could take a picture of him climbing all over Delaney's booster chair tray! NOT ME!!!!!! (disclaimer: he was always in arm's reach!!!)
Addie has turned into a world-class flirt! I thought this was an area where my boys excelled, but Addie has proven to be even more charming! She was being fed a shell shaped pasta, and this little tiny (but extraordinarily perceptive baby) does not like this kind of pasta. She bats the spoon out of daddy's hand, and proceeds to "baby cuss" at him (she have him a tongue lashing!). In the blink of an eye, she gave Josh the most syrupy sweet grin I have ever seen....along with eyes batting! She knew what she was doing because Josh looked at me and whined, "She does not like this! Go make her something else! Look how cute she is!!!" I was like, "oh no she didn't!" NOT SHE!!! (another cute twist?!?) Of course....I DID NOT go and get her royal highness something else to eat.....NOT ME!!!!
Delaney has the funniest hair. It's at a length right now where all it does is stick up. It's especially funny when she's had a bath and then gone to bed. This particular morning, she woke up, ate breakfast....and was ALL messy. I could not help but think this was the most adorable picture of her. Bed head, messy face, fingers in mouth signaling that she was still not yet ready to start the day.....and I did NOT leave her hair like that ALL DAY just because I thought it was ADORABLE!!!! Not ME!!!!!

Happy Monday everyone!
