What's up with me lately

Caleb here. I just thought I would try my hand at blogging and let you all know what I have been up to lately. Firstly, I have been really having fun annoying my mom in the picture department. I NEVER smile for her. I rarely will stay still and if I do, I make a face like the one above. Nice, don't you think? It cracks me up every time. It doesn't seem to have the same effect on her though. hmm. I've also been doing a lot of this:




It's a classic game of mine. It's called, "Dump out Entire Buckets of Toys, kick them around and wait until my mom cleans them up and do it over and over and over". You should see the look on my mom's face after I have done this 15 or 20 times; priceless. It is sooo fun. You should recommend it to any toddlers in your home.


Now, this is a game I kind of made up all on my own. See, my mom has this giant basket that she keeps all the kids shoes in. I love to go in there and pick out two mismatching shoes (I always make sure they don't belong to me) and put them on. Then I stomp around the house for a bit and leave them right in the middle of a walkway so people can trip. Also, for a good variation of this game, I put them on, clomp around a little, then hide them in a very obscure spot in the house. Then when Sunday morning comes, my whole family starts tearing the house apart looking for the one missing shoe. I just sit back and watch the chaos and laugh to myself. This is great fun.

Another new thing I have taken to, is to sneaking outside and opening the automatic sliding door on the van. (it's the only door I can open). Then I get inside and lock the doors. This is fun for a while to play around in the drivers seat, but the problem with this one is, I can't figure out how to unlock the doors. And I haven't yet figured out how to open the front doors so I get stuck. Then I have to sit and wait for my mom to realize I am gone. I keep trying this one out, much to my mom's protesting. I think my mom should just learn to lock the doors so I can't get in it in the first place. But I question whether or not she is smart enough to catch onto this.
See this?
My mom is really in love with this stuff. She is always using it. And I have been feeling a little guilty about all the games I have been playing, so I thought I would do something nice for her. I saw that she recently reorganized these items, and I thought she would love it if I helped her. So while she was in the shower, I dumped out all the buttons and mixed them up. That was fun and I am sure very helpful. Then I took this ribbon bag that she stores all her ribbon in and pulled out tons of ribbon. I think she really loved that. Then I saw these fun little salt shakers filled with glitter and I thought I would beautify her table by dumping the glitter onto it. I thought the whole thing was fabulous. I was so proud when she came out and saw my handy work. I think the tears said it all.

Well I better get going my mom is almost done cleaning up after me, and I know I am not supposed to be on the computer. Besides, I think I hear some shoes calling my name.
Much love,
Caleb
