.....Sorry no physical evidence!

OK before I begin, some of the things my boys do I blame myself for....and somethings I blame Brant! This one falls on him!
So Sunday during church the boys needed to go potty, and Brant was busy keeping Cullen quiet so I just told them to hurry and go. I soon realized that a good 15 min had gone by and they had not come back, so I sent Brant in after them. Another 15 min went by and NO ONE had come back. This is when I start to get suspicious. I start heading to the bathroom and I see the boys barrelling out with silly grins on their faces, Brant however was not grinning! I said, "what took so long?" His response was: " There are times in a dads life when your children make you proud,......today is not one of them!" With panic I asked what happened, and he proceeds to tell me that he went in the bathroom to find both boys SITTING in the urinals. He said, "boys, what are you doing?" Liam responds with "we're pooping!" With a frantic cry, Brant said "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" To which the response is...."we already did!!!" ......oh boy! He then said to me "If you will notice, both of their shirt tails are soaked because they flushed while still sitting in the urinal!"
This is one of very few moments where laughter proceeded the madness! The sad thing is that even though this was a new one for the boys, I was not at all shocked! Now for those of you concerned for the urinal, Brant made sure it was all taken care of! Luckily most flushed without any complications, but let me just say how grateful I am for not having to deal with this one!!!!

Jedi mind tricks!

I am pretty sure that most kids don't start being mischievous this young....unless you are an Ames' boy!

This is Liam teaching Cullen "The ways of the Force".

This is Cullen practicing on his own for the first time!
And this is where he becomes a Jedi Master of disaster! Welcome to the family, Cullen.

The Sky is Falling!

...or the table is leaking. That is what Aiden told me Sunday morning. I went down stairs to find the new case of drinks for lunch......punctured!!! Liam had gotten a steak knife and went to town on the box. .

Out of 24 drinks, only 7 survived!

And yes the table was leaking....all over. Red and blue and purple and orange everywhere!

Welcome to the family!

Just when we thought things were calming down.... This is a can that Brant put old OIL in and left under the sink....was that a good idea???




The picture does not show it well, but the whole kitchen floor was covered in old oil. Cullen was totally swimming in it! He smelt like bacon for two days....yuck, and the pj's....garbage!

No one will admit to this one......

It was a cake!

The Little Daredevils

Most of the stories are after the fact. I was able to prevent a disaster this evening. Since Keli is in the hospital with Cullen, I am playing Mr. Mom. As I was getting dinner warmed, thanks to a great and thoughtful mother-in-law for saving me, Liam went in the garage and was playing on my skateboard. I heard him come back in and he started to head up stairs with Aiden, but did not see them. I knew something was wrong when I heard Aiden tell Liam from the top of the stairs, "Sit on your bum, and I push you." I quickly grabbed the camera and took this picture. We would have had another kid in the hospital.
