Parenting 101....PLEASE!

I thought I would share this story that happened last weekend with Brooke. What a proud parenting moment....NOT! So we are in the motorhome last weekend at the beach in Huntington. Steve and I come in around 7:30pm to bathe the kids since it was bath night. I get the little tub out and put it in the shower and fill it up with warm sudsy water. Our little water baby Brooke just jumps right in. I get her all cleaned up, hair shampooed and then pluck her out, wrap her in a towel and hand her off to daddy. He then gets a fresh diaper and some PJ's on her. We're at the beach so it's her warm, footed fleece PJ's. Steve is now in the process of setting up the pack n plays which is what they sleep in at night. In the meantime, I undress Kyle, put him in the tub and get him cleaned up. I get him out and am drying him off on the bed when I hear, "TERESA!" I look up and there is Brooke, back in the bathtub...PJ's and all, sitting there splashing around in the water. I immediately start to laugh. At this point, Steve is not seeing the humor. I tell him it's funny and he needs to go get the camera. We took some pictures and then Steve got Brooke back out of the tub and wrung out the PJ's. Thank god we had an extra set of warm ones. Goes to show you how fast they can get into trouble. Like I said, I will have to post the pictures of her sitting in the bath tub with her PJ's on. What a little stinker!! Gonna have to watch this one like a hawk!

Happy Halloween

Well, this is the year of our "firsts!" We decided way back at the end of August to have the kids be monkeys. Brooke because she scales and climbs on everything...Kyle because, Monkey see...Monkey do. They were so cute in their costumes. Janet came over to help us trick or treat and it was her suggestion for the bananas. Brooke wouldn't let go of hers all night. First chance Kyle got, it was on the ground. We walked around to about 5 houses in our block of the people that we knew. Brooke has understood knocking on the door for awhile so when we walked up to the first house, she knocked on the door. When the door answered, she walked right in. Bypass the candy, forget the concept....I'm coming in! It was too funny. We came back to the house and the kids had just as much fun passing out the candy and putting it in the other kids' bags. It was a fun night.
