Ariel keeping me busy

Ariel is really truly in the Terrible Twos. I am reminded of this hourly. She is always into something. Silence is a very bad sound.
She finds my mascara no matter where it is hidden. She tried the mascara again a few hours after this photo. The next day she found it again and attempted her other eye. She was about as successful asthe previous day. Surprisingly, mascara does not look good on your temples or as lipstick.
She dumped the remaining chips from the bag in the dishwasher then tried to close the door. She got into my 50 lb container and dumped a few pounds of wheat berries on the flour as I was grinding wheat. That was not fun to clean up. The next day pulled a chair over and was able to reach my bag of pinto beans from the pantry and tore it open and spread it all over the flour. Those were not amusing to me and I did not take photos.

I relate. Abby is a year behind and is now a complete mess maker at the age of 3 (a few months shy of 4). I thought I bypassed that stage in life, but she's making up for it now.

Hope you had a good day, and are feeling well. You are extremely amazing and we can't thank you enough for your travel efforts. Lisa, Lisa, you're the man, if you can't do it, no one can!

Ahhh, love to hear Ariel is keeping you busy- I was begining to worry your life might actually be calming down for you. Good thing she has such a sweet little face!

It's a good thing she is so dang cute. Look at that face.

Omg, Madelyn just did the EXACT same thing with mascara a couple of weeks ago. Except she got into my entire make up bag. Good times!

And um, you were grinding wheat? You have wheat AND a wheat grinder? I wouldn't know a wheat grinder if it landed on my head :-)

She is lucky she is so cute. I think Paige is already in the terrible twos category because she loves to dump all my goods too. I'm very impressed with your wheat grinding skills - does that domestication come with living in WI?

There is something about little girls and make-up...they are quite magnetic. I think her cute little face might be a life saver!

She may be mischevious, but she's very adorable, too.
