Empty drawers

If you know me and my girls you know that our biggest battle comes from them continuously emptying out their dresser drawers!  Its a battle that has led me to locking them out of their rooms during the day just to save my sanity and time!  But, they have been doing well lately, playing nicely together up in their rooms and the only issue is the constant flood of toys that flow into the hallway but thats not that big of a tragedy.

But last night, I walked upstairs to get a pair of pjs out of Sidneys drawer and to my surprise the drawer was empty!  Figuring she must have placed them in one of the drawers below I open up the next one.  No clothes!  No clothes in any of them!  And no clothes on the floor either!  So I walked to Livs room thinking maybe she decided to take them in there....nope!  I'm dumbfounded at this point!  I am looking all over the upstairs and I called for the girls and all I got was a typical "I dunno know!"  "Sidney did it!"  Etc Etc!  No one is fessing up and no one is telling me where they are!!!  Finally  I just shuffled them off to bed!

Then this morning, I went back upstairs to continue my search.  Still nothing!  So I go get  a basket of clean laundry, bring it upstairs and I am racking my brain the whole time!  I decided that while I was up there that I would dust.  So I am dusting a cabinet that sits in the upstairs hallway and I notice that the doors on it are slightly propped open.  I open one and TA-DA!!!!!  There is the entire dresser of clothes stuffed into the bottom of the cabinet!  Don't know why I didn't think to look there last night! 

The best part is that while I'm bending down opening all 3 doors to the cabinet the girls start walking upstairs and they catch sight of me through the banister!  They stopped dead in their tracks, turned around and tried to quickly and quietly run back downstairs!  The minute I told them to STOP they screamed and took off running all the while Livi yelling "It wasn't me...it was Sidney!"  I had to laugh!!!  But then they had to help put them all back!  Then Liv says, "Momma, I'm sorry for telling Sidney to put those in there! She should not listen to me! "  STINKERS!!!!!!

Life is crazy but its always a blessing!

Mom, Momma, Mommy~
