Tweedle Glee and Tweedle Glum are at it again

So I worked last night, but I'd promised the girls I'd take them to the park today so I got them to agree to watch an episode of Teen Titans while I took a little nap this morning. Well, I'd been asleep for about 25 minutes when the girls came into my bedroom to start a bath. This is my cue to bolt out of bed to see what's wrong. Well, poor little James is trying to get in the tub with the girls, his body covered in fragrant slime. I questioned the girls, got him washed off, and ran downstairs. Eve had gotten my dish soap out and poured it ALL over the entire kitchen. Floor, table, chairs, kid table, James's head, carpet, everything! I was livid. I ran back upstairs and gave Eve a choice: Time out or spanking. She's like, whiiiiinnnnneeeeee. Laine, ever the protective sister, started panicking and trying to steer her to the correct answer.

"Eve, just pick the time out! Time outs don't hurt at all!"

"I HATE time outs! They take forever!"

"Hmm, well a spanking is very fast. You could just pick the spanking then."

"NO!"

At least I had a good excuse to not take them to the park in 97 degree humid weather.

Luckily, Chris came home and handled the clean up and punishment. The rest of the afternoon was silly and cute. I noticed later that the other thing they had done during my nap was eat a large portion of the chocolate peanut butter bars I'd made the day before.

"Laine, did you guys eat all these treats?"

*grins sheepishly* In an innocent sing-song voice, responds "Aaaaacccccidentally!!"

"You accidentally ate all these chocolate peanut butter bars, huh?"

*Nods emphatically* "By accident. Yeah."

"So, what, you were lying on the slimy kitchen floor with your mouth open when all of a sudden, the chocolate peanut butter bars spontaneously fell off the counter and landed in your open mouth? Repeatedly?"

"Umm, I just told you. It was by accident."

Then they did the underwear march around the house a few times, which is where they strip down to their undies and march around the house chanting non-rhythmically "March! March! We do the underwear march! March!" And they invented really silly princess games and acted ridiculous.

Here is a picture of some members of our family who did not cause trouble today.

Here's Eve trying to look all innocent with her piggytails, pretending that isn't a destroyer of houses.And here's Laine having a ball at her kindergarten play day last week where she got to ride the bus, meet some kindergarten teachers and friends, and play in the gym and music room.
