a BUSY bee

I was talking to a friend a few nights ago who is pregnant with her second baby.  She is feeling slightly panicked because her first child has started to become really busy.  Her exact words were "I had NO idea they could be THIS busy!" Well, I have news for ya.... just wait until that second one arrives and becomes MOBILE! PHEW!

Cal has always kept me pretty busy because he has always been into everything and on the move constantly.  But having two kids into everything and on the move makes the word "busy" an understatement!

Andy is literally into EVERYTHING lately, and it makes me laugh how quickly he can find something else that he shouldn't have after I have taken something away from him.  I tried to document some of his naughtiness curiousness today.  These were all taken in a matter of less than 1 hour.  30 mins before the gym, and then the 30 mins after the gym...

"hmmm, mom seems to use this thing a lot.  wonder if i can play with it..."

"maybe if i smile at her, she will let me open and close the door"

"just...going...to...look....for....some....scraps....."

"must....get....toes...off...of....floor!"

"any mac and cheese in there??"

"wooooaaaahhhhh"

"shoot...she sees me....just gotta be charming..."

"she pulled me off of here once, but I can get back up again, easily"

"I am trying to lean in there like hank does, but it doesn't quite work like that"

"told ya I'd get back up here, mom"

"why does she keep pulling me down? there are so many fun things to see in here"

"uh-oh...she's baaaaack..."

"hmmm....wonder if i can open all of mom's drawers at once"

"dang it, cal! quit telling on me! i like to turn the water on and off!"

"see? on. off. on. off. it is such a fun game"

 After the gym, we had to run to my mom's house to get some things from her basement.  Andy discovered his love of the stairs...

"maybe if I lay low she won't see me sneaking away"

"this is SUCH a funny game!"

"you'll never catch me!"

 Then, back at our house for lunch...Andy crushed some strawberries and ended up naked.

"I love when i find hank's toys under the table. I must put this in my mouth immediately."

"whew! all this crawling works up a thirst! and makes for some red knees"

"might as well stand for a while and suck my fingers...la-de-dah"

"oh, heeyyyyyy, handsome.  I love when mom turns the camera around so I can see myself"

"oh, a BOX!"

"I better crawl inside...just because, you know...it's a box"

"what?"

Now, add in a 2.5 year old who is SUPER busy and wild and you see why I drink at night...kidding....kinda.....not really......

I wouldn't want them any other way.  I love my busy boys and I love watching them discover the new things around them.  And I am telling myself that chasing after them this morning earned a chick-fil-a spicy chicken sandwich for lunch.

Happy weekend, y'all!
