April 18, 2012 - Cleaning, Cleaning, Cleaning

Today's pictures show what I saw when I first woke up this morning, it was a really nice morning.  He woke up happy and well-rested.  While part of me longs for the day when he sleeps through the night in his own room, part of me loves waking up with him right beside me.  I also took a photo of his beautiful and chunky hand. 

The main bathroom upstairs is still leaking occasionally, when the kids take a shower or have a bath.  It is quite annoying, but it is helping me keep the kitchen table cleared off (which is where the water is falling). 
  
Also today, we are beginning to realize that the Girl is a liar.  She lies about anything where she thinks she will get into trouble.  I don't know if this is common among 5 year olds, but we find it extrememly annoying.  We even tell her, tell the truth you won't get into trouble, and she still lies.  To the point where I almost think she has convinced herself that she is telling the truth.  Her 'normal' lies include: not flushing the toilet, wearing underwear, cleaning her room, scribbling on her dresser and pillow, brushing her teeth, putting clothes in the hamper, finishing her meal....the list goes on.  Everytime we catch her in a lie, we tell her not to lie to us, and that she can always tell us the truth, and yet, if given the opportunity, she lies again....arrggh!
