Benjamin's "Business"

by "business" I mean:  BUSY-NESS

Benjamin is by far my busiest child.  He loves to get into everything that he isn't supposed to.

I even keep rotating his toys, so that there are new ones out, but he is rarely interested in them ☺

And so when the gate between the kitchen & back hall is left opened, he has "gate radar" & escapes quickly!!

He got into all the Easter eggs I put in the girls' room (for "safe keeping")

And Emmalee is notorious for leaving the gate opened--so one afternoon I hear a big crash--and this is what I found in the back hall where I store my plastic containers, lids & water bottles

Coloring on the fridge

A close-up of the masterpiece (I forgot to take a picture of the coloring on the girls' door)

Getting to the roll of garbage bags

"Here, Mom"

"Do you need one......or 10?"

"I'm just helping!!!"

I walked around the corner to do a load of laundry

And found this mess ☺

climbed up on the table

and got mad when I tried to get him down

Benjamin got into a big, full container of oat/granola mix I just made & was getting ready to add the peanut butter & honey to it. (do you see him back in the corner by the fridge--he knows he did something "really" big this time)

he's running to me to give me a hug. (how can you resist that??)

look at this mess, mom!!

and here he is helping me clean up--at least he usually helps clean up the messes he makes

I used to laugh at all stories my friend Jennifer (Parry) Lewis tells of her little boy, but now I have a lot of sympathy for her!!!
