Bit of mischief

Nothing can be left on the kitchen table now because Kallie can reach it. And if she can't, she climbs on the chair to get it. So after several cups being dumped out by her, papers being scribbled on with a pen, pencil, crayon, or whatever she could find, and older siblings leftover food being eaten by her, we have ( mostly) learned our lesson... but not quite, as you can see with the chips everywhere. Someone left a Pringles can of chips, which was mostly just broken chips & crumbs left in the bottom of the can, on the table, so Kallie took the lid off & dumped them everywhere....then started eating them. And of course we had just had the house cleaned (by someone other than me, so I was really savoring that "whole house clean at the same time" feeling, which clearly didn't last long! A side note, we have started putting stuff on the kitchen countertops, which is a little taller than the table so still out of her reach...but she's figured out she can push the chair to the countertop and climb on the chair, though she only does this for something that's really important (to her).

A friend made a very delicious chocolate cake for me for my birthday. Kallie enjoyed that too--- the girls in this family are definitely all chocolate lovers! :-) Luke & Ans wanted to pose in a picture too with the little messy face child.
