Silence is Deadly

I think we have all heard that when the kids are quiet, there is trouble. Definitely the case with my kids. As you may have read with the flour incident, in just a few moments of silence, total and complete chaos and destruction is being made in a quiet little corner somewhere. Yesterday, Matt and I were working on the dishes together while the kids were playing in the living room. Neither of us noticed that somehow the kids had disappeared somewhere until it caught my attention that the house was way too quiet. I told Matt to go search for them. He discovered them in their bedroom. Mikelle had taken Jonah in with her and closed the bedroom door, then they went in the closet and closed that door and hid among their jackets that were hanging up and ate almost an entire pack of gum.

Later on, while Mikelle was on the toilet, she sneakily opened the bathroom door and let Jonah in (which she knows is a HUGE no-no) and then closed the door again. Then she let him play in the toilet water (quietly of course) that she had just peed and pooped in. This is apparently hilarious to children.

(this is exactly how we found them)


Also, this week I am THREE months pregnant. My how time flies with the third one.

They sure can get quite a bit done working as a team! I had forgotten about that.
Three months already? Wow!

Three months! Congrats. Are you feeling any better? I'm sad we aren't coming to see you next week, but I hear that you and the kids are coming in April. I can't WAIT. Maybe then our 4 can sneak off into the closet and eat gum while we get massages or something. :)

Congratulations on making it to three months. Hopefully the next few months will be really nice. That is so disgusting that Jonah was playing in the dirty toliet water. Kind of funny too though.
