Well at least the oven is clean...

This one has taken me a few days to find funny. The other day after breakfast I was trying to get Jaxon and Brooklyn to play together. I went upstairs and gave them a great idea (so I thought) to put their play tunnel together and connect it to their table to make a hut. I helped them get started, then headed downstairs to get breakfast cleaned up saying, "Put some stuff in there too." (pointing to the stuffed animals). I MEANT for them to put a few friends in there to play with. So, I got the kitchen cleaned, and found that they were still entertained!! No fighting, no screaming, no tattling... so, I got ambitious and started to clean the INSIDE of our oven which I HATE to do. I got the whole kitchen cleaned including the outside and inside of the stove, microwave and fridge. I finally decided that the silence could not be a good thing and marched myself upstairs only to find this...
All of Brooklyn's clothes out of her drawers...


Every book off the shelf....


And the ENTIRE "hut" and tunnel filled with the clothes, books, and toys from the toy box!!!


Here's after I dumped out the tunnel.

I was glad they played so well together and we got it cleaned up but the worst part about this is that now Brooklyn thinks this is what you do when you play. She has duplicated this about 4 times now since then!!! I'm glad I took pictures but I've got to be sneaky about it when I take pictures of something like this or else they think I'm taking a picture because I thought they did a good job. I told them I was taking a picture so I could show Dad!!
