Boys will be Boys

Or should I say kids will be kids?  That is probably much more appropriate and true.  : )

This morning was a whirlwind for a little while.  I had to run to the restroom, so I set baby David up on our bed in the master bedroom, so I could monitor him and intervene if his brothers came in a little too wildly.  I was only gone a few minutes, but it was long enough to walk into the living room to the following scene...

James was standing halfway in/out of one of the living room windows.  He had pushed the screen forward and began to climb through to get outside.  His legs were standing on the bark outside while he torso and head were still in the living room.  Sam was sitting on the speaker right next to the window cheering James on.  James managed to squeeze the rest of the way out, and I tried to pop the screen back into place, but my husband will have to fix that when he gets home because I could only get so much to settle back into place.

Then a short while later David needed a bottle, so I put one together and sat in the rocking chair with him while James and Sam were playing nicely in the other room.  After the bottle I had to change David's diaper, and then I went to check on my two adventurers.  I thought they were in James' room, but it turned out they were playing in the master bedroom (a habit we are trying to break them of).  They were sitting on our bed playing with their toy farmhouse, and they appeared to be playing so nicely, so I was going to allow them to continue playing until I realized there was a puddle on the sheets in front of them.  They had found a container and dumped almost all of the liquid out.  The boys got sent to the living room, the farm got put in the bathtub to wash off later, and the sheets (my brand new sheets I was given for my birthday that I hope won't get stained due to this) got pulled off the bed.

Thankfully the boys were able to reign it in a little better after those two incidences...or perhaps I reigned it in a little better.  Either way the rest of the morning has been running fairly smoothly.
