Would You Like a Two-Year-Old?!?!?

Today has been a day of unmatchable messes. Here is the list of things that have kept me from accomplishing anything of merit other than putting things back in order after the two-year-old got to them.

*Starting the day with cereal spooned into a cup of water and back and forth until it was spilled on the table and the carpet floor.

*Next we cleaned up everything off the floor and put it back in the first aid kit Braxton decided to empty.

*Evidently taking things out of box shapped things is very fun because then I discovered he had emptied my sewing box all over my bed including the ziploc bag full of safety pins. Oh joy of joys.

*Next it was on to dumping the contents of Kent's catch-all hat on the desk. Items including coins.

*I had decided some outside time was needed so we went out and enjoyed the outdoors. I needed to go in for a few minutes so I left him out with bubbles and when I came back he was busily picking the flowers off my flower pots and making a pile on the ground.

*Lastly (at this point) I was talking with the neighbor outside and the neighbor kid came out of my house yelling that Braxton was in the bathroom playing in the water. The neighbor girl had made a fossil out of mud and leaves and Braxton had taken it into the bathroom and wet it down. That is the picture I finally took to prove how wonderful the terriffic two's have been today.

The up side in all of this is that I have been level headed and I have not lost my cool or yelled at him (there may be one exception with the cereal this morning). I feel that with all of that I can celebrate. Amazingly I seem to be lacking the energy to get anything accomplished.
