Ahhhh...the joys of kids...

Last night I decided to do something productive during our favorite Thursday night shows. I got out all of Audrey's clothes that didn't fit her anymore and sorted them by size so that I could store them and get rid of some of them. I spent quite a while on this project and I was happy when I was done. I ended up with several neatly folded piles...and this morning I was going to box it up according to size.

Then the kids got to it.

End of story.

I'm sorry...but I had to laugh! I can totally relate! It's so funny, but so frustrating all at the same time. In fact, my Owen did the same thing yesterday with the folded laundry. At least they had fun...

I'm so sorry for you...aren't kids little stinkers?! I feel you with the sorting of clothes - with 3 girls, I feel like I'm constantly sorting stuff to go to storage or getting stuff out of storage. I learned the hard way too - next time barricade yourself in a bedroom with a gate and warn them with taking their b-day's away if they touch...;) They are so cute though - how could you be mad?

I always feel paranoid when I have my laundry all folded but not put away--between the kids, the dogs & the cats I'm SURE it's going to get toppled!

Good thing they are cute, huh? :o)

Oh man.. I hate that.. I always box my kids clothes up after they are finished wearing them.. in fact Jamen is in two sizes right now. He didn't even wear some of Tyson's clothes beacuse they were to small.. Do you know if there is a mission reunion?

How boring life would be without our kids giving us such great stories to tell. I have to admit, I don't feel sorry for you at all. If this wouldn't have happened, we couldn't have shared in a great laugh with you!
Keep lov'n 'em!!!

Well I guess they are still alive cause I saw them today. I'm so looking forward to experiences such as this (not!)

We are leaving town Wed for Morgan's spring break. We are going to visit family in Eastern Idaho, so I won't be at playgroup or church.

Paybacks are hard remeber when you sat in your mothers dryer with your little brother and broke it
