Partners in Crime



I think I'm going to just concede defeat right now. I am outnumbered and am CLEARLY the underdog here. Each of my boys has alot of ........... energy but when they pool their resources, they are crazy!!!!

Yesterday morning I put my head down on the couch for TEN minutes. See, I was a bit tired since theyd woken up at 4:00 AM that morning. In that TEN minutes, they managed to open up a bag of chocolate chips, 3 packages of tissues, a tub of chumus, and cottage cheese. They proceded to dump all of these items on the floor. Yitzchok Zevi tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Look, Mommy, we are makin a chocolate cake for shabbos!"

This morning they both disappeared to the back of the apartment. I decided to give them a little space and waited a few minutes to follow. Apparently it only takes five minutes to turn 6 towers of neatly piled empty boxes (waiting to be used G-d willing soon..........) into a sea of box. In addition, Aryeh Leib was delighted to learn that when you overturn a box filled with stuff, the contents spill out everywhere. Yitzchok Zevi was the one who enlightened him to this reality. Unfortunately for them, they both learned that doing this makes mommy REALLY MAD.

I'm going to sleep.
