They gently remind you that you don't have to buy artwork. They put their creations right next to existing pieces so you can easily compare and realize that sure enough, theirs is the true masterpiece.
They also make their own toys. You will find these petshop homes ALL throughout the house. Including but not exclusive to: the garage, your bedroom, all hallways, and even in the bathroom. It's so precious.
They will use all your makeup (their favorite being the one expensive blush you own) and lose your pricey tweezers. But really it's just to remind you how beautiful you are and that you really don't need it.
They will spill gallons of milk and whole bags of flour on your floor to remind you that it's time to break out the ol' broom and mop. And to remind you that it's time to spray for ants? They will happily leave suckers under their bed. Bonus, this also reminds us we need to shampoo the carpets.
No need to install a doggy door. And if you accidentally forget and fix the screen? Don't worry, it will be back to normal within the year.
They help you in your quest to eat healthy by digging in the back of the freezer, under the peas and frozen chicken to find that Ben n' Jerry's you weren't saving for yourself. They gladly take that temptation right out of your life.
Thanks kids, you guys are the best!

ReplyDeleteHa, that's awesome! I feel like my life is so normal with a few crazy days thrown in. I imagine I will have a HUGE learning curve with two.
ReplyDeleteI think I need a few little ones around, if only to eat the ice cream for me!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are crafty, imaginative little one! And that artwork is way better than anything I could ever do. Not joking.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my house. I find nerf bullets in the strangest places like behind the flower pots, in the pantry, etc.
ReplyDeleteI do believe you have Future Famous Artists in your midst. What creative little people! Hopefully you can stash some good wine somewhere they can't get to. Definitely pour yourself a tall glass of that!
ReplyDeleteAwww so cute :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember making little towns out of old cartons!
I was expecting to see kid drawings directly on the wall instead of on paper on the wall. I'm glad I was wrong about that.
ReplyDeleteWhat? That carton idea is AWESOME! We have TONS of cartons around here (lots of the same egg ones and the almond milk. You are brilliant! I better start chugging some almond milk. ha! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I can't wait for this to be my life someday! :) Oh and that carton idea is genius. My niece would totally love it.
ReplyDeleteAww, haha! What a great post:) Made my heart melt a little.
ReplyDeleteI laughed through this entire post...Maya will shove my artwork aside to make room for hers.
