A friend once told me that when her kids made messes, she'd photograph them to laugh at, instead of melt down about it. So I made a folder in flickr where I keep such photos...And thought I'd share a few. If you get a laugh out of these, it'll be worth the clean up! ;)
THIS is what happens when you move into a new house and your almost-2 year old finds a crayon:

This is what happens when you let a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old brush teeth without supervision.
(look closely, toothpaste even made it to the floor...)

This is what happens when you give the boys a bubble bath with the jets on:

This is what happens when a 2 yr old comes in contact with a beloved orchid plant:

This is what happens when you try to photograph a 2 yr old with his new baby brother:

This is what happens when a 2 yr old gets ahold of baby brother's bottle:

This is what happens when you take the kids on a fun day trip (the almost-2 yr fusses the entire time!):

This is what happens when a 2 yr old gets quiet for a few minutes:

This is what happens when you give your kids sidewalk chalk:

This is also what happens when a 2 yr old gets quiet for a few minutes:

(You just can't see the bandaids all over the bathroom.)
This is what happens when you don't use a sippy cup:

This is what happens when a 10 month old can reach the garbage:

This is what happens when you take boys shopping:

This is what happens to food left on the table:

This is what happens when the 1 yr old gets the bath salts:

And in case you were wondering, this is what happens when the same 1 yr old gets into the cornstarch:

Moral of the story - be very fearful of a few minutes of quiet coming from a 2 yr old, or anything that is within the grasp of a 1 yr old.
Ahh, the joys of motherhood.

I love it! You are so great to take pictures of everything and remember what happened. Oh boys and quiet..... they just don't go together.
Oh My Gosh! This is PERFECT. I loved how you did this.. I am so sure it does help the mom melt downs (as a mom of just 2 boys).
This is HILARIOUS Ang! I can so relate!
I've so missed reading your blog.
Hope you're well friend...
