Caught red handed in the cookie jar

So Regan didn’t finish his veggies tonight for dinner so the rest of us got to have our dessert and he didn’t.

We had Oreo cookie no bake dessert so Regan was going to get regular Oreos for his. All he needed to do was take one bite of his veggies but he is stubborn. Janice and I went to the bed room for some kid free time.

After a few minutes, Regan pokes his head in and locks our bedroom door. I think to myself, oh that’s nice; he’s giving us some time alone. Janice, who is much wiser than me said, “he’s totally getting into the snacks and doesn’t want us to know.”

Guess which one of us was right? Not 30 seconds later we hear a kitchen chair start to scoot across the floor. I got to give it to him, his logic was pretty sound except for not understanding how locks are directional and locking himself out of our room was not locking us in.

I decided I couldn’t let this one slide, so just as I walk into the kitchen, there is Regan with his hand literally reaching for the cookies. He’s now in timeout letting us know how hard his life is. 🙂

Surprise visitors

I was at the mall’s indoor play place for a play date, when I got a text from my Mom asking if we were home today. I initially thought she wanted to plan a Skype call. I told her what we were doing and let her know I would be home soon.

DSCN6697I had just got the kids set up with lunch, and was talking to a friend who had just brought her kids over for me to watch, when there was a knock on the door. I was not expecting anyone. SURPRISE!!!

I do believe I yelled, “Holey CRAP! What are you guys doing here?”

My Dad said they were just in the neighborhood, and thought they would drop by.

I guess when they landed in Las Vegas from their summer trip they decided to just drive down to see us since they were already two hours into the drive down! My Mom was so giddy that they actually got me! I was SO SO surprised.

It was a lovely surprise visit.

Where is my super suit!!?

So Janice and I are laying in bed waiting for the children to go potty and get their pajamas on when we hear:
Regan: “Honey!!! Where is my super suit?”
Kaylee: “What!!!?”
Regan: “Where is my SUPER SUIT!!!?”
Kaylee: “Why do you need it?”
Regan: “The town is in trouble!”
Kaylee: “I put it away!!!”
Regan: “I need it!!!”

Of course Janice and I can barely contain ourselves.  For those who need a bit of context so you can enjoy this exchange a bit more see this:
