April13th
As I gathered our belongings for t-ball and laced up Morgan’s cleats I asked, “Girls, where is Rover? I thought he was in here playing with you.”
“We don’t know where he is!”
So I looked high and low.
And then I found him.
Looks like he put shaving cream everywhere but where he needed it… I spy a 5 o’clock shadow on his upper lip. Needless to say, we were a little late to t-ball.
Red Rover, Red Rover someone please send the clean up crew right over.

Comment by Jennifer — April 13, 2010 @ 9:02 pm
Funny, Funny!
Comment by Courtney — April 13, 2010 @ 9:02 pm
This is hysterical. I can laugh about it because it’s happened to me as well.
Comment by Sara — April 13, 2010 @ 9:02 pm
Oh my word…he is covered! What a doll, I’m glad you captured that moment on your camera. Mine recently ate crayons (!!) and I wish I had taken a photo, but at the time I was shocked and focused on keeping her crayon covered hands off of my upholstered furniture!

Another rite of passage for Mamas and their baby boys… takes me back to what we refer to as the ‘Peanut Butter’ incident at our house!
Comment by Denise — April 13, 2010 @ 9:08 pm
this picture is priceless! This will be a good one to show at his rehearsal dinner one day.
Comment by Cat Moore — April 13, 2010 @ 9:11 pm
awww, I’m so glad I was online and got to see this. it really made my night. I would have laughed my head off! It reminds me of my friend’s little boy (about the same age) that was “hiding”. Oh, she found him alright….with monistat and toothpaste ALL over him! In his hair and all…..
Comment by wendy — April 13, 2010 @ 9:21 pm
At least he was in the shower so maybe clean up was a little easier??
Comment by runningtwig — April 13, 2010 @ 9:21 pm
That picture is adorable!!
Comment by Libby — April 13, 2010 @ 9:40 pm
Oh my! that is hilarious. sweet memories.
Comment by Shea Ford — April 13, 2010 @ 9:46 pm
How could that sweet face ever get in trouble?!?!?!
Comment by Devon — April 13, 2010 @ 9:49 pm
My favorite part is that his expression reads “what? is there a problem?” love kids. they make every single day absolutely hilarious.
Comment by Christie — April 13, 2010 @ 9:51 pm
How cute! When my oldest daughter, Tyler, was about two, I found her covered head-to-to with almost a whole container of that really thick Eucerin cream. It was also all over her carpet. That was not fun to get out!! At least shaving cream should wash off easily!
Comment by alison g. (brazil) — April 13, 2010 @ 10:20 pm
Oh my goodness! Hey, at least he was already in the shower, right?
Comment by Mrs. B. — April 13, 2010 @ 10:27 pm
My heavens, what a beautiful boy!
(And I love Sally Clarkson and her Mission/Ministry of Motherhood books.)

i’m so glad you stopped to get a picture of that. he’s adorable covered in cream.
Comment by CeCe — April 13, 2010 @ 11:16 pm
haha I love this pic!! So cute! There’s no way that sweet face ever gets in trouble…
Comment by Jules — April 14, 2010 @ 12:15 am
He gets +100 points for being smart enough to keep it in the shower. He is so, so, cute.
Comment by barbara — April 14, 2010 @ 12:16 am
haha, that seems to be one thing all little ones have to do one time in their life, at least he did it in the shower, you ‘only’ had to turn the water on.
when my twin girls were about two years old they spilled a whole bottle of johnson babyshampoo on the lino bathroom floor, it took all my towels and cloths to clean it up. it just wouldn’t stop foaming and was slippery like an ice rink. now with hindsight i think it’s funny, i wasn’t so amused at the time.
cute photo anyway…

Oh no! His striped pants looked like blood, like maybe he had gotten a hold of a razor too! Bless his little heart, boys are a hand full aren’t they!?!
Comment by Laura — April 14, 2010 @ 7:16 am
Love it! I’ve said it before but Rover is an absolute cutie! And how could you do anything but laugh with that sweet, innocent little face!
Comment by Bryn — April 14, 2010 @ 7:29 am
Too cute! I always wonder what you (or any mom) tells their kids when they do something bad but want to take a picture. I’ve thought about what I’d do as a mom… I think I’d say “I have to take a picture to show Santa how naughty you were!” heheh.
Comment by Montye — April 14, 2010 @ 7:52 am
I’m sorry but that is just too cute! Laughing out loud!!! What a great way to start my morning ;o)
Comment by Tammie — April 14, 2010 @ 8:01 am
OMG!!! I am new to your blog but this picture is SO Cute. My little boy (now 24) looked a lot like your little one and this is so something that I would have found him doing. It looks like a picture that you find in a magazine. I just Laughed out loud. Precious. Thanks for sharing it. Even though you were late these memories are worth every late moment.
Comment by Lee-Anne Fenwick — April 14, 2010 @ 8:05 am

Isn’t it amazing how quickly they can make such a huge mess of themselves! haha. Too cute!
Comment by Melanie Gore — April 14, 2010 @ 8:51 am
I remember those days of my now 16 yr. old son getting into stuff. Lipstick was the thing that I kept cleaning up:) Precious those days are.
Comment by marcie — April 14, 2010 @ 9:09 am
That baby is precious…Love that face.
Comment by Bailey@peppermintbliss — April 14, 2010 @ 9:18 am
Pete’s my mom just gifted me with 4 disks of videos from the time he and his brother were 2 and 4 until about middle school and I have spent DAYS watching them. Oh the mischief little boys get themselves into. And they are just too darn cute when they do it! I hope you take some videos to accompany your gorgeous pics, because if she is anything like me, Rovers future wife would LOVE to hear his sweet little voice once he is all growed up!
Comment by Lauren — April 14, 2010 @ 10:11 am
Adorable! He is such a cutie!
Comment by kendall boggs — April 14, 2010 @ 10:50 am

Comment by beki — April 14, 2010 @ 11:08 am
At least he was in the shower…he could have been on the sofa. He and Ava should never ever be left alone!!
Comment by Maggie @ Living the Life of Riley — April 14, 2010 @ 11:09 am
Ha, ha! I love this post. My son has many Rover tendencies too! And they are so sweet all you can do is laugh.

gotta love boys!
Comment by Susan — April 14, 2010 @ 1:47 pm
I love your blog. How do you get all these comments. I usually get 1 maybe two, but most of the time 0. What am I doing wrong?
Comment by Melissa — April 14, 2010 @ 1:50 pm
THat is precious even though I can only imagine what a mess it was.
Comment by angela — April 14, 2010 @ 2:04 pm
I promise when I saw the title I thought “Oh no. What did Rover do?” Precious as always!
Comment by Kellie — April 14, 2010 @ 2:11 pm
Haha Hopefully it was easy cleanup, since it was in the shower!
Comment by Shelley — April 14, 2010 @ 2:15 pm
LOL! At least he was in the shower…
Thanks for all the Strawberry ideas, I’ll be getting right to some jam making!!!
Comment by Katie — April 14, 2010 @ 2:37 pm
How fun!
Comment by Jen — April 14, 2010 @ 3:01 pm
Oh, no! I’ve learned that lesson. When things get eerily quiet in the house, you know they’re up to something.
Comment by Rebekah — April 14, 2010 @ 4:44 pm
How cute!!! You can almost picture his thoughts “What?!”
Why is it always when you are on your way out ?
:0)
Comment by Dianne — April 14, 2010 @ 7:02 pm
Adorable! Really, he is just soooooo cute. How could you ever stay mad at him?
Comment by Ashley — April 14, 2010 @ 7:27 pm
Made me think of my twin boys…at least he contained himself to the shower. I got a full bottle of shampoo on my hardwood floors here. It was a bear to clean up…water just made suds!
Comment by alston — April 14, 2010 @ 8:38 pm
too cute! that precious little face — how do you ever keep a straight face around him?
Comment by Hillary @ The Other Mama — April 15, 2010 @ 12:19 am
I could write this same post and title it, “We completely missed Sunday School” but my little guy decided to empty the container of green soap all over the floor, his OUTFIT, and into his eyes. I think Jesus forgave us for being late. We DID make it to church afterall… and we needed it.
Comment by wendy — April 15, 2010 @ 8:21 am
This is so precious and brings back great memories.
Comment by Pink Wallpaper — April 15, 2010 @ 9:52 am
stop it!! that is too funny….
Comment by Beki - TheRustedChain — April 15, 2010 @ 11:32 am
That’s the past three years of my life, right there. I’ve had an ongoing series on my blog called “Adventures of a Bad Baby”. It’s amazing the stuff he’s found to get into!
Now that he’s three, the messes are slowing a bit thank goodness.
Except for last week when he put rocks in the gas tank of our car… but other than that it’s getting better… Ha!
Comment by Becky Arnold — April 15, 2010 @ 11:47 am
Love the site. Haven’t seen you at Simply Unique lately. Lots of great things going on there, especially the new applique class. You would love it. Learn how to make your own more complicated appliques.
Comment by Megan DiVito — April 15, 2010 @ 12:54 pm
How do you even get mad at that sweet face! Your children are so stinkin cute I can’t stand it!!
Comment by Sam — April 15, 2010 @ 1:50 pm
Hey there. I have read your blog for a while now, and I love it, but have never left a comment. I actually live in the FL panhandle which is how I found your sister’s website and then yours. I have twin girls, 5 yrs. I just registered them for 1st grade and requested separate classes. Now I am feeling awful about it, but I know it is for the best. I know this is random, but I was hoping to get some advice from you. You and your sis seem so close which is what I want for mine, but I want them to be individuals too. Ugh. Why doesn’t parenting come w/ a handbook!? Sorry for the random post, esp. since it is my first! Your children are absolutely adorable. I love reading about your going-ons! Have a great weekend!!

Comment by Kristy Dorminy — April 15, 2010 @ 6:15 pm
That is sooo funny!!! We have had those moments at our house, too. Glad you took a picture!
Comment by Becky — April 15, 2010 @ 8:29 pm
He reminds me so much of my youngest nephew Henry. He is the youngest of five!
Comment by Ruth Ann — April 15, 2010 @ 8:42 pm
Oh, the memories! Almost 8 years ago, I had a 22 month old and a newborn. While I was nursing, the ‘big boy’ emptied an almost full bottle of Johnson’s baby lotion. His little brown legs and arms and belly and blond hair and carpet were covered! I had enough sense about me to grab my camera and capture it. I can smile when I look at the sheepish look on his face even though I was exasperated that day. Enjoy them and the chaos.
Comment by lisa — April 16, 2010 @ 6:30 am
LOVE IT…and can totally sympathize.
Hang in there, it only gets worse. 
Comment by Jennifer — April 16, 2010 @ 8:29 am
so glad he didn’t decide to track down a razor and shave!!! priceless memories, worth the extra time and hassle…
have a great weekend!
Comment by Abby Maddox — April 16, 2010 @ 9:28 pm
Where did the rest of this post go???
Comment by Sally — April 18, 2010 @ 9:29 pm
Hilarious! We had a very similar incident with Vaseline head-to-toe!
Moral. With toddlers…NEVER trust a quiet house!

I had a situation similar to that recently only powder was the agent of choice and the culprit was chillin’ in his nursery.
