TP, Trials and Tunes

There he is, looking all cute and innocent. Few people know what dastardly deeds lurk beneath the curls of this 3 year old's head.

This is one of his favorite activities, playing with baby toys. Why is it that babies enjoy these kind of things somewhat, but it takes a good sized 3 year old to truly bring out the fun of an exersaucer? (I never did get a picture of Alister trying to climb into the baby swing. Yikes. Can't believe it still functions.)


So, it's a brisk and snowy Sunday morning. The twins feed the baby some Cheerios and fruit while I catch a bit of much needed extra rest. I was exhausted from a late-night cleaning session from the night before's snow clothes, laundry and dishes. When the time came to see how the kids were faring downstairs, here's what I found:

Yes, that's toilet paper beautifully uncoiled at the foot of our "throne". Rather artistic, no? I have tried to "rewind" a roll of TP on occasion and it's just amazing how long it takes to get it all back on the roll!!!! I'll have to try this "unwinding the TP" thing sometime. Maybe it would help me "destress"! It's not like TP is super expensive, and it's much wiser to unroll it in the privacy of your own bathroom as opposed to throwing it in your neighbors landscaping.

Hmmm... Have to think on that one.

Now the part that confused me is below.

How did the TP get from the bathroom to the base of the stairs in the living room? Oh, to have been a fly on the wall. Sigh, I guess I will never know. I need to blog these things or I do believe that I will just get annoyed and clean things up in a huff. Sharing it with the world somehow brings a humorous slant to the whole event.





Let's count our blessings...

1. The toilet paper is clean.
2. The toilet paper is dry.
3. The toilet is NOT plugged.
4. At least Alister is INTERESTED in the potty. Maybe training will follow...

The Cantate Home School Choir Christmas Concert!

Austin in the middle of the front row in yellow and Aubrey is on the left end of the second row in red. The children sang beautifully! We had 6 students join us on strings for Vivaldi's "Gloria" and it was just lovely. Aubrey, Mackenzie, Alaina and Darcy donned their black ballet slippers and did a little Irish step dance to "Jingle Bells" while the audience jiggled their keys along with us.

I'm going to try to post the sound track from the concert soon on the Cantate blog site.
