Cooking Goose in vain

All my efforts of keeping these kids out of EVERYTHING are in vain. We had locks on the closet doors in the play room so they couldn't drag every last toy out. Of course now they have figured out how to just unlock them. One of the little rascals (pick your triplet) stands on Eli's work bench or a play kitchen and then they take a stick pony and pry the lock loose. The toy room is no longer secure. I mean what kids can't play in their own toy room! Mine, that's whose.

And last night another diaster happened. With the scissors. Barber Eli chopped off the back of Olivia's long beautiful curly hair. I took her to get it fixed today and I have to admit that it is really cute but I miss her hair. I just started crying when I saw it. Addi came to the kitchen where I was loading the dishwasher and talking on the phone and informed me that Eli and Owa were cutting each others hair for real. And she was telling the truth too! I called Clayton and then my mom crying leaving messages with both. They were relieved when they found out it was only hair that was cut off. Clayton said when he picked up the message and heard how distraught I was that something serious happened. Then I said Eli cut Olivia's ..... and finger was running through his mind before I got the word hair out. So needless to say he and my mom were both really happy when they found out it wasn't a body part.






Lucky for me I caught them at the bathroom sink this time before the water was out in the hallway like a couple weeks ago! I am frantically reading the parenting book 123 Magic. I will let you know if it helps!
