It's Too Quiet!

Have you ever had the eery feeling that things are just too quiet? You can't hear anyone jumping off their bed or down the stairs, fighting, crying, or running around screaming? Once it registers that you can't hear anything at all you probably start running around the house frantically. That's what I do anyway. I know that silence is not a good thing at all. It usually means that someone is about to get into big trouble and there is a big clean up involved!!

I do have to say that it wasn't as bad as the time Cole put my hot pink very sticky lipgloss all over himself and our cat, or when Macie got a hold of a giant candybar that I (the good mother that I am) forgot to put away and had melted, smeared chocolate all over her entire body and part of the dining room. These are two extreme examples.

Here is what happened the other day when I felt that sinking feeling after realizing how quiet things were. Macie and Cole had gotten our foam stickers down and removed most of their clothing in order to use as many stickers as possible. You can see from the pictures that they had matching elephants on their foreheads and stickers just about every where else, including the bottoms of their feet! Thank goodness they weren't completely naked. I can only imagine where stickers could have gone! Well, this really wasn't as disastrous as I imagined and they were so completely pleased with themselves that I had to get the camera out and document the creativity! Plus, they'll be great blackmail pictures when they're older :)
