A new level of chaos

Our home has reached a new and incredible level of chaos these days. Part of the reason I haven't blogged for so long. Also, everyone has been sick. I went in 2 weeks ago and found out I had pneumonia and pleurisy (an inflammation of the pleural lining). All that is important is that it hurts like the devil. Anyway, I'm on the mend finally. But, Min has a terrible cough. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to have a fever and has been feeling well. He's also in a terrible stage of separation anxiety. Travis can't even put him to bed.

Andrew is as curious as anything and into absolutely everything. It's nearly impossible to get anything done since he has to 'help,' or make even more of a mess than the one I'm cleaning up. I usually don't load the dishwasher unless he's sleeping since he always tries to climb inside. As you can see from this picture, he LOVES the key drawer and is finally tall enough to see inside if he stands on his tiptoes. He has a favorite set of keys...the camper keys with a little orange flashlight attached.
And, of course, he likes the pots and pans. What kid doesn't? We don't care if he plays in there, but aren't really sure what this was all about. He seems to think that sitting INSIDE of most things is fun. The basket that holds his toys is always fair game when it's empty (which is most of the time).
And....yes....even the drawer under the stove isn't safe. It took him a little while to figure out how to get in there, but was pretty proud once inside. He even managed to convince Charles to give it a try.
Thankfully, it's one of those older, stronger stoves that managed to hold up to two boys sitting inside it.
