Challenging

Challenging is how I will lovingly choose to describe my children today.  They were whiny and mischievous.  It is a good thing they are so darn cute.  Anna Kate is getting FOUR new teeth and Drew is getting his second set of molars so they haven't been in the best of spirits.  I will be happy when teething is over with.  I guess we have been lucky that it hasn't been too terrible, it just causes some fussiness and sleeplessness.  I think we are on the downhill slide though. After his molars, Drew should be done for a while and Anna Kate will be done after these four and her next two molars. YAY!
When I was finally able to wrangle my pant leg our of their clingy, whiny fists to make their dinner, they actually went to play quietly on their own. It was nice to have a few minutes to myself to make their food without one or both of them standing at the gate screaming.  I should have known that the quiet was bad news.  After dinner, I discovered what they had been up to.

They took every last piece of clothing out of their drawers. Then they rolled around in it.  Notice neither of them would look at me?  After I got on to them, they wouldn't even look in my direction.  I guess they thought if they didn't make eye contact, I would be convinced that they didn't know how that mess happened.

There were moments of sweetness.  Here we are at snack time.  How could you be grumpy if you have juice and animal crackers?

I have said before how Anna Kate loves her snacks.  See the joy in her face?
