The Many Missadventures of Busy Lizzy

Day One
So, after having a mommy breakdown from moving my cleaning supplies and the vaccuum from room to room trying to keep up with Lizzy's messes and dissasters (and trying to keep my sanity) day after day, I decided that it would be more fun to document it for the viewing enjoyment of all. I'm so greatful that we are renting right now. There is no hope of getting these carpets clean or salvaging a good majority of our window blinds. The day before this picture, Lizzy decided to take Christopher's baby powder, diaper paste and ezema lotion and see what it would do if they were all combined in his laundry hamper. Full of clothes. After dumping and squirting half of it on the carpet first. Needless to say it wasn't so bad finding just a bunch of powder all over the carpet and closet floor. It was when I started looking for the bottles that I started to suspect more hanky panky and couldn't locate them until I glanced in the hamper. I should have gotten some pictures, but I was pretty seething mad and hadn't quite hit the "oh well, what is one more disaster" phase until the next day.

Day Two
This is after I had closed the door to my room and told her to stay out of the craft box for pre-school. It was just too good of a temptation I guess. Inside the craft box is a little box filled with 12 bottles of beautiful, sparkly glitter. Well, I guess it was like waving a red flag in front of a bull, because it took her about 6-8 minutes to dig through the container, locate it and dump each and every one of those bottles on the floor of the closet. She knew that the poo had hit the fan when she heard me coming because she had closed the closet door to hide. You see, Lizzy being quiet for more then 5 minutes when she is not watching TV is a bad thing. At least I know I can prepare myself for the inevitable now. Unfortunately, half of the glitter was outside the closet so she didn't get to hide for long. Poor dad. It was his side of the closet and that manly pack will most likely be be-dazzled for the rest of its existance.
