I LOVE a good horror movie.
The scarier the better!
Zombies, vampires, aliens, serial killers...
it just doesn't scare me.
Let me tell you my new fear. Silent Children.
Most kids can go into a room and play quietly for an extended period of time. Not my children! Quiet playing equals TROUBLE!
Let me state a few cases (from the past 2 weeks) to support my statements:
#1 - Cole and Josh quietly playing upstaits. When they come down they show me how they have made "Cool Dude Hair". I find out they have used a half a bottle of shampoo in their hair as gel and also all over their hands and arms as lotion. They did immediately go downstairs and put the toy handcuffs on and put themselves in prison.
#2 - Josh and Alaria quietly playing in the kitchen. I run upstairs, come back and they have spilled a 5 lb. bag of rice all over the kitchen floor, and then all three kids have crawled all through it. Rice was EVERYWHERE!!!
#3 - Josh quietly playing in the kitchen. OR sitting inside of the fridge drinking the bottle of chocolate syrup.
#4- Again - Josh quietly playing in the kitchen. OR sitting under the kitchen table eating tomatoes....which I wouldn't have minded so much if there hadn't been tomato juice and seeds in a 4 foot radius around him!
#5 - Again - kids quietly playing in the kitchen...actually giving Alaria a chocolate/marshmallow/caramel easter egg, which she chewed up, drooled out, spit out, and crawled through, clear across the floor.
#6 - Cole and Josh quietly playing in the back room at my mom's house. OK, they were really flooding her bathroom! I called down there and talked to Cole and his response was "I didn't do it, mom. I just taught Josh how and then HE did it".
I am not even going to go in to details about when I was pregnant with Alaria - however, one day the two boys did empty an entire bottle of chili powder in my oven, turned on the broiler, and filled the house with smoke!

Silence is trouble! I can only enjoy it after the kids are asleep!
