let chaos reign

I remember a close girlfriend of mine telling me, when her boys were both much smaller, how she intentionally made plans to get them out the house most afternoons to prevent them trashing the place with their boisterous and scattered play.
I remember thinking she was possibly over-reacting a little.

I take it all back!

Now that Sunday's up and walking, creating play for herself, distributing and disseminating toys and household items with alarming efficiency, now that Friday sees her as a viable playmate, comrade and accomplice, now that both of them are into climbing (could this be the first thing Sunday's taught her big sister how to do?), dolls, dress-up, building, destructing, sand, water, chalk ... LIFE.
Now there is no peace.

And increasingly I find if I want to stay home and get anything done, I need to just let the chaos reign, and resign myself to the massive clean-up operation afterwards.

ok, there was supposed to be a video here but it's not.
kinda defeats the purpose of the post but I'm moving on.
hope you can too.

It's kinda fun though, in the moment.

Have a happy weekend!
