Innocent Adah...

Yeah right.  She seems so innocent, but she is so sneaky.  I can hardly keep up with her these days.  I call it curiosity for the way things work...she's just too cute to call naughty!

This was the mess she made the other day while she was actually already in time out.  Austin had put his overnight bag next to the stairs to go down to his room but it also happens to be where the girls sit in time out.  She was digging through his bag and found his green gel toothpaste.  Just as I was about to come around the corner to tell her she could come out of time out she was holding the tube up-side-down and squirted it out onto the carpet as if she were getting ready to paint a masterpiece.  She got a little more than time out for that  one!

This picture doesn't do any justice because this is after I scrubbed it with a Norwex clothe, but Adah came down from bed one morning  and I noticed a little marker on her hand.  I had to think a bit but remembered that I had a sharpie on the steps ready to go upstairs and mark some borrowed clothes for Eden.

So here is our conversation: M: what's on your hand Adah?

A: marker

M: oh really, where else is there marker?

A: on the paper on the stairs AAAAAND (she always says these long drawn out 'ands') it didn't stay on the paper...I got some on the carpet too.

I was seriously thinking it would be all over the wall and banister, but she was right, it was on the carpet.  And not on the carpet like she just accidentally ran off the paper (which by the way was an important paper), it was literally scribbled on the carpet!  She must have woke up feeling really curious that morning!
