Do all kids destroy crap?

Life with Lyric as a baby was easy for the most part. Adding Gael to the mix when Lyric was 3 1/2 really stirred things up. I dont know if it's because they're boys or because of the ages  or because of Gael's personality.  But I really feel like every day I'm finding something new that's been broken, destroyed, smashed, cracked, Colored on, in the toilet or whatever else u can do.

My husband and I refuse to buy new.things and I actually don't enjoy buying them new toys for This very reason.
Seriously. .
from the white leather sofa being used as my boys' new Art project or the wood floors signed in permanent marker or a glass shelf shattering or a down comforter being ripped to shreds or finding my makeup all over little fingers and noses or not to mention my poor poor walls. a couch being ripped Up clothes thrown from the drawers, Mirrors broken, the Playstation having water poured on top
 Oh man...the list goes on.

I guess you are asking "where the hell were you?!" These things seem to happen when either they're supposed to be sleeping or in those 5 seconds I had to take to go pee Or maybe check on dinner. Ugh.

It really truly boggles my mind. Today I found such the urge and wrote my dad telling him how sorry I am if I ever acted this way as a child. And also thanked him for not killing me.

Life as a parent requires a ton of patience.  And sometimes I have to just look around at as Feathers fly through the fan and my children stand there looking like giant chickens and laugh. And then...laugh a little More And wipe the tears and grab a broom.

I don't think I have time for a blog

So a little about me for those who don't know me. I am a 28 (?) year old woman living in Argentina. Married and sharing a house with 3 little people ages 4, 2 and 1 month. Yes, those little people are my children, no, I don't have a housefull of midgets running around. Although, that would be entertaining. My life's journey has led me on some wild rides and all have landed me right here to this very spot. sitting next to my 2 year old son Gael while he drives his cars all over the computer desk, keyboard and then freaks out and throws himself on the ground when i politely ask him to stop so I can write out this blog. I'm not sure of this blog's purpose but if I can make at least one person laugh or be even remotely interested in what I have to say, then I think this blog has done more than it's intended purpose.

....to be continued as my  newborn Melody has broken out into full blown screams for an unknown reason. and the 4 year old Lyric is trying to talk his way out of his afternoon nap.
....yay :)
