Day 89 {child proofing continues}

Well today was very uneventful. It was a busy day at work. My first picture of the day is me squealing out of the parking lot leaving work in the dust. I lost track of the time and left the office late.



The trip home included a classic:



And a new song with one of the dumbest music videos I have ever seen (and remember that I was around for the entire 1980s):



When I got home all signs pointed to a pretty standard day. Furniture all flipped around to block stuff...



and the curtains hung so the kids couldn't rip them down.



Today's highlights? Ava tormented her brothers, Ethan got a fat lip and Owen pinched his fingers in the cabinet doors. The new child proofing system? Not working so well.



So I got an idea.



Here's the new and improved system after an hour and a half of assembling our secondary stair gate. I'm not big on directions (as you well know if you have heard the story about me and my mom's smoking skating rink under the Christmas tree) so it probably took longer than most people.

P.S. I was watching my soap opera and watching Tony DiMera die. Again.

P.P.S. Boo Rafe Hernandez.



Anyway, I got sidetracked there. Not only did it provide a temporary solution but also a distraction



for Mia (Owen):



and for Puffy (Ethan). Yep. Whole new set of nicknames from Ava today.



That was it for today. Keep your fingers crossed that the cardboard works because A. my kids are resourceful and they eventually outsmart us everytime and B. they can smell fear.

Thanks for looking!
