Adventures in Menacing

More menacing has been going on at my house...mixed in with a splash of shenanigans.

Shenanigans are defined as: trickery, mischief, or underhanded actions. Yep, that perfectly describes what's been going on of late.

First there was the episode of eating...or should I say, drinking un-frozen Otter Pops behind an end table in my living room. Blast! Check out those sneaky fingers while I'm trying to take a picture, he's after them again!


He tried to make a break for it but I caught him.




Next he decided to do this to my living room...you can't see but he dumped out a basket of laundry as well....




So, I made him clean it up....cast and all.... also note the backwards pants...just because.



Still cleaning, note the pile of laundry on the left....Argggggg!



And finally completed...and only a mere 2 hours (not even kidding) later. Two hours of now do 'this' and you forgot 'that' and one more pillow and you have to pick up the toys too....and a lot of 'where did you go...you aren't done'!



He also decided to grace us with a couple of Giant Spit Wad Episodes...(which include big chunks of wadded toilet paper, soaked in sink water and flung at the mirror or down the drain) Excellent!

He had to clean up those too!



There have also been unbuckling-while-in-a-moving vehicle episodes (sometimes hiding in the back of the van for a few miles until I notice...), hiding-in-stores episodes, and hiding-in-Dad's-office-chair-while-Mom-is-frantically-yelling-and-searching episode (I even looked at the back of the chair and he never made a peep!)

Then he says stuff like, "I like you Mother" and "Yes Mother" in the sweetest, can't-say-his-r's voice muster-able.

I am on to him, I know his game....but I can't resist...especially when he's like this....

We do have excellent times together like when we're driving and he dons his sunglasses just as I do and says..."Let's Rock and Roll!"...gotta love it.


And just for kicks, here are the older two playing quite a trick on him...

He wanted to play their Star Wars Lego Wii game, but there are only two Wii remotes and they were worried he would damper their winning chances. Hence his blue, non-Wii remote. They kept telling him he was this or that player, and what a great job he was doing at this or that...



Look! It wasn't even fake plugged in...but he never noticed. In fact, he was quite happily playing and enjoying himself immensely...which brings me to my next question....

Are they evil, genius, or both? (I'm leaning toward Evil Genius myself.)


And there you have it....shenanigans in a nut shell. Sometimes these types of shenanigans leave me a little stressed and frazzled. To de-frazzle, I....read a book, talk to a friend or family member, blog, go on a walk, make something or edit fun pictures. What do you do?
