Owen the Explorer

Why is it that when you need to be somewhere by a certain time, that's when the kids decide to go and "explore" what's in the cupboards? While I was feeding Cari, in order to get out the door this morning for "girls' day", Owen decided to see just how many trash bags were in the somewhat used roll (answer: about 40 out of 50!) he found under the kitchen sink. So, he strung them out in the kitchen, across the family room, through the baby gate (which was obviously inadvertently left open probably by me when I had to feed and change Cari at 3:30 this morning) and into the living room. Owen was so proud of himself as the bags just kept coming and coming and coming. He had the whole roll undone in a matter of minutes. At least he did help me drag them back into a big pile. Ever busy, ever busy, ever busy little boy!

I'm so glad that you got a picture of that! You'll always remember what a little stinker he was.

Cute! It's hard not to laugh when things like that happen, isn't it. :)
