At least they're creative, right?

Oh, my kids...I love them but sometimes want to strangle them when I come downstairs to find this in my living room...They claimed to be getting ready for the big softball game. Obviously! When I see mass amounts of kitchen towels, table cloths, a Bumbo, and random baseball bases thrown across a room, I think one thing: "must be time for softball!" I really try to be patient with situations like these because I love that my kids are creative, but did they have to take out EVERY single dish towel I own? It added to the fun that they were using the vacuum's extension pieces as spotting scopes.
Granted, this is better than the time they were pretending they worked at the "sample store" (Sam's club) and took 8 huge bakery sized Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies, tore them into bitesized pieces and then Beck smooshed them into the carpet in the playroom.
Everyday is dressup day at our house. We finally got Beckett some boy dressups for his birthday and love to see what he comes downstairs wearing.
Yeah, London wore this leotard as a cape a while back and insisted we call her "SuperGirl" all day. I got some crazy looks when I took her to the mall...

They may act and look crazy, but they're mine!

I just love Londons personality. And I love that you took her to the store with the cape. That is awesome.

Love the creativity and the immagination. It is easy and hard at the same time to be mad. Love the cowboy get up and Londons look like "yeah, I did this masterpiece"

Ok, London cracks me up everytime I read about her in your blog! The Cherry Hill incident was making me laugh so hard. Maybe try not to hurt her feelings...huh?? Too cute.

Our prayers are with you and your friends, what a sad story!

So cute I am with you I am always alittle irritated with the mess but don't want them to feel bad or not be creative. It is nice they play together so cute!!

I agree. It's a good thing we love our kids so much and that we gain more patience as mothers.
