i have to start by saying that i HATE messes. (who doesn't, right?) they stress me out and just add one more thing to a never ending cleaning list. i have tried to child-proof our home but this girl is constantly surprising me with her mischief. she somehow manages to open doors with childproof knobs; she can pull EVERYTHING out of her drawers from the 1-inch crack that the child-latch allows them to open; she is like a bloodhound when it comes to comes to gum and can find it anywhere; she LOVES fingernail polish and has no problem getting it open; and when she is done eating her food, she finds the best way to let me know is to throw the remaining food on the floor. it's fantastic.
here are just a few examples.

| one of my favorites. esme smeared an entire tube of thick diaper cream EVERYWHERE. her poor teddybear was covered and is still gross and greasy. i have tried everything; laundry detergent, oxy clean, dish soap, our little carpet cleaner, but nothing will get it out. ugh. |
 |
| i let esme take a nap with me... she waited until i was asleep and then did this. red sharpie, awesome. |

| my favorite is the top left. hand up the truck tailpipe! i know the stickers aren't a mess... i just thought they were pretty dang cute. |

| a common scene at our house. ;) |
everyone tells me that boys are more mischievous than girls... if that's the case, i might be in real trouble.
