Jackpot!

Every morning when the boys get up they do the exact. same. thing.  First they peek down the hall to see if there are any doors open (if there is they very quickly all run in), then they run the kitchen and check to see if under the sink is locked up (if it's not they start pulling stuff out), then they run to see if the dog dishes are up (if they are not, they dump the water out and then throw the food around), then they run to the cuddle chair to see if the cushions are down (if they are not they climb up), then they check to make sure the blinds are all up (if they are not then they pull on them) and finally they run over to make sure the computer is put away (if it is not they try to send an email or two)!

Just like they have their morning routine, they have their downstairs routine...open door check is ALWAYS first...and tonight they hit the jackpot...open bathroom door, no locks on the cupboards, and an open shower door.  Grammy supervised and the boys did a little exploring!

Lucas letting his brothers know that he got in under the sink!

 Matthew heading over to join him...

 But Nathan beat him there!!!

 Soon after Nathan left the cupboard to throw toilet paper into the shower...

 and then go in and get it!

 and bring it back out!!!

I really should print out this post and use it as a checklist of the things that I need to do each ngiht before I go to bed...but it is so fun to see their little faces when they find something that I have forgotten!

Now that we're crawling...

Now that the boys are crawling they have been getting into all kinds of "trouble". The new most commonly said phrase in our house has become "where is Lucas?". Although they are all on the go all the time he is the one that seems to wander away the quickest and most frequently! Here are some pictures of some of the new things the boys have become interested in now that they can get to them!

1. The toilet...well maybe just the bathroom in general. The doors to the bathrooms stay closed almost all the time but if we leave one open it does not take the fellas long to get in there!2. The pantry - the boys are quicker than Bones to get into the pantry when the door is open. I can barely get anything out of it without one of them ending up in there...makes it tough to bake!
3. Pots and Pans - the new favorite drums!

4. The behind the door thingy - the boys discovered one of these at Dr.Atchison's last week and now they love to play with it!

5. The printer - we try to block it off but no matter what we put around it the boys get into it...we are currently seeking out a new home for it!

6. Bones' food and water - if it is down the boys are in it...poor Bones now only gets to eat and drink when she is outside or when the boys are asleep!

7. The vacuum - FAVORITE TOY EVER!!! They like everything about the vacuum...the hose, the nozzle, and where it hooks upto the wall. I love Nathan's expression in this picture...way too funny!

8. The Phone - although they love it, they are no longer allowed to play with it. They had been playing with it quite a bit, they dialed random stuff and called Grandpa once using the redial button. The kicker was when Matthew dialed 511...just a little too close to 911 for comfort!

9. Grammy's purse - the boys are quite happy if they can get into a purse and pull stuff out of it.

Just another cute picture of Lucas with the dog bowl...we try our best to remember to put the dishes up or out, but we still need more practice!
