As I was doing dishes, Rose created this nice little set-up in the pantry.  When I heard a strange brushing sound, this is what I found!  She’s never happy when she gets caught (she’s always mad at me that I caught her, like I did something to interfere with big business), and the majority of the time I’m too frustrated, tired, or panicked to take pictures, but the camera was on the counter right beside me, so you get to enjoy a lesser offense with me this time, lol!  All was super cute, contained, fine and dandy, until she brushed a can off, and it started spewing everywhere.  That’s usually how it goes with Rose… starts out innocent, turns out messy as all get out!  Worst mess this week was when Rose got a step stool out all by herself, got Noelle’s red lipstick down from their recital, colored all over two doors, front and back, and was acting like I was the one doing something wrong when I told her, “No ma’am!”  Noelle said, “Great news!  My lipstick isn’t broken!”  Lol, we’re having a blast around here!

 

Week before last, this was her worst offense.  Got Mike’s hand lotion from the bathroom, brought it to the protected iPad, thank God, and enjoyed cleaning it up.  She really thought she was helping out.  She’s like Amelia Badelia! 

 

Shake it, baby!

 

Personal tattoos are her middle name!  Every day we have a different tattoo!  Here she is telling Rara to come save her! 

 

When I take pictures, she gets awfully proud, so I can’t take pictures every time.  The ones with the most damage don’t get the pictures, because I’m usually too busy containing the mess to get a picture of what she is truly capable of!

 

Bless her little heart!  She looks so innocent, except her legs tell the tale!  The joys of two-year olds… although I will say, we’ve never had such destruction as we have with Rose.  Save the blast for last!

Noelle just meant to say, “Let’s just hope and pray she doesn’t get a real tattoo someday!”  but instead, she said, “Let’s hope Rose doesn’t get a real tattoo someday, God bless!”  And tapped her heart.  Ahhh… never a dull moment.  And at the exact same time, Anna Kate said she was going to use our restroom by the “cafeteria” instead of next to our kitchen.  It does feel more like a cafeteria serving up all these summer lunches, lol!
