Trouble

Perhaps I already have a post with this title. I wouldn't be surprised. We have gone through a bit of trouble with our two youngest. Mostly Matthew. He seems to thrive on trouble. Let's see. We are having a hard time keeping their room warm this winter. They have broken both our space heaters. So we turned the heat up at night but they have put so many toys down the vent that not much heat is getting in. They kept emptying their drawers so we moved the dresser in the hall. Matthew started turning his light on in the middle of the night and not turning it off waking Michael as well so we took the light bulbs out. I had to buy a new vacuum since they have put toys in my central vac and now it has no suction.  Matt got a hold of a sharpie and wrote all over our brown couches downstairs. He sprayed windex in Michael's eyes. He was looking for mints and found my pill organizer and tried one of my thyroid pills. He didn't like it. He got into the Vaseline and got it all in his hair. He dumped a full bottle of Johnson's baby shampoo into the tub along with Natalie's shampoo and conditioner. He got into my lotion while we were out and got it all over his pjs and hair. If I turn my back for a second he is into something. He will push chairs where he is too short to get something. Like my purse or to look for gum. While in St George this weekend he emptied my purse and the diaper bag numerous times. He pushed a chair to the pantry to get Oreos. He got into the toothpaste and tried brushing his own teeth. He got a sharpie and started coloring all the laminated sheets in the basket. He colored on my sheets with crayons. All this and we weren't even home that much and he was sick. Stop breathing go to the ER sick. He's fine now. Just a barking cough. I'm hoping he grows out of this stage quickly. Just thought I better write a few of these things down before I forget.
