We had what I call the week of chaos. It all started when Matias was at work and I was playing cards with Kelsi and Brenden, Lex was in trouble for not listening, hitting, screaming, and basically having a complete melt down the night before. (night #1 as I call it) and had to go to bed early well she kept getting up to "go potty" well an hour later I swear she had "gone potty" about 15 times. So I called her in to tell her she needs to go to bed and I notice black all over her face... yes people for some odd reason (I think mainly she was mad at me so wanted to get back at me for being a mean mom) Alexye had gotten into my makeup. I guess I should consider myself lucky that this is the 1st time any of my girls have done this. She tried putting on mascara (hence the black on her face.) but not only did she try to put it on she decided it would be a good time to become an artist and used her bedroom walls (ad some clothes in her closet) as the canvas and my lipstick as her paintbrush.....oh the joy. My foundation and powder were dumped in drawers and my eyeshadow gone. So a that moment mommy wasn't happy at all, but surprisingly I kept my cool as much as I could. As I said before Matias was at work (lucky him) But we have awesome friends, Kelsi helped me clean up as Brenden looked up ways to get make up out of clothes. So that was night # 2 since night #1 was just her screaming, hitting, and not listening. Well on the next night we were having game night..well I shouldn't call it game night since we do it every night (LOVE IT!!) and I had made cookies and Again Alexye was going to bed early (for the whole make up thing) and I had put the cookies to cool down and we kept hearing noises in the kitchen (at this moment we though Lexye was asleep and I was rather excited that she was being so good by not coming out every 5 min) well Kelsi goes to get cookies and lo and behold there is like 5 missing cookies. I thought Angelyse took them but I decided to ask Alexye just in case. I have to totally give her credit because she looked my straight in the eye and said she didn't do it. I completely believed her til Sayge ran in and said there were cookie crumbs everywhere on Alexye's bed. So basically Alexye was sneaking in the hallway and taking cookies. She is GOOD!! I was actually facing the hallway and didn't see her once. This may sound horrible but I am completely impressed with how good she can "go stealth" I was more mad that she lied to me than her taking the cookies. But of course I couldn't let her think it was ok so I talked to her about taking stuff that is not hers is called stealing. So even as hectic as it was Night #3 Not too bad. Well Night # 4 Matias was home and it was a typical night of fun, laughter and card games. I love my husband to death but the prior nights he kept saying Alexye would never do anything if he was home....if he only knew what was about to happen he would never have made that statement. So I thought the screaming an hitting and the makeup was bad well nothing can be compared to night # 4. I just have three words for you....purple nail polish... yeah. So Alexye was being pretty good at first and of course my dear sweet husband kept letting everyone know it was because he was home and she knows not to do anything. Well she then went "potty" and was in there for awhile and then we didn't hear from her. Matias decided to check on her and the next thing I know he brings her out with purple nail polish on her shirt. Lex decided to take nail polish and paint her toes, the walls, the bunk bed, and toys. (of course only Sayge and Angelyse's toys had the pleasure to be painted purple and Alexye's toys were spared during the attack) Of course my first action was to let rub it in to Matias that he was wrong. (yes I know my priorities were a little messed up but for those of you who know Matias and I really well you probably are not surprised by this.) Again, We have the greatest friends ever and thanks to Kelsi and Brenden the clean up job went pretty fast and we got all the nail polish off of everything except some clothes. (its a miracle they actually still hang out with us. lol) The sad part was is that I had told Alexye if she was really good that night then the next day I would paint her nails whatever color or how ever many colors she wanted. I guess she couldn't wait. I am happy to report that the next niht she was FANTASTIC and she hasn't gotten into anything since. While all this was happening I was not happy about it at all and I was so mad but now looking back it makes me laugh. Alexye is just like me. The funniest part of the week was when I sat down to talk to Alexye after all this and I told her that she not only looks exactly like me she also acts exactly like me, and she looked up at me with her big blue eyes and all innocently said, "So its your fault." I couldn't help it I laughed so hard. I seriously love that girl!! She always keeps things interesting. She is my sweet, loving, chaotic, bratty little girl, in other words like mother, like daughter. :)
