Toothpaste

Here's my story:
Paige came upstairs form the basement and said "Come downstairs, quick." So I run down the stairs and find Ethan in the bathroom with toothpaste all over his hands and i see some in the sink. I take him upstairs and put him in the tub so i can clean him off. I leave him in there and i run downstairs thinking i'll clean it up real quick. I start washing it off the sing, then i see some on the toilet so i get that. Then bam! I turn around and it's on the doorhandles (both outside and inside) it's smeared all over the wall, it's on the floor, on the sink nobs, on the shower, on the toilet bottom...EVERYWHERE!!! It was crazy. Insane. Two whole tubes of toothpaste gone. Thank you 3 year old little boy

This morning Paige came up to me and said she needed a bag to put clothes in because her and ethan were playing "hotel". i gave her one and told her, " Just take clothes out of your drawers, not the closet", since putting clothes on hangers is hard for me with only one good hand. She said, "oh..um....ahhh" so i run into her room to find that she's taken EVERY peice of clothing out of her closet, taken ALL the hangers off and put all the clothes in a laundry hamper. Crap. What do i do in the situation? She's just a kid playing an imaginary game, quietly in her room, not fighting with her brother. But she can't just make that kind of a mess. I figured i would have her hang them all back up on her own. is that a good idea? I have no idea. I figure that's what i'll do.

Also i wanted to let everyone know we no longer have the internet at home, so if you need something call, but call our cell phones because we got rid of our land line too. :)
