Todd has been gone a lot this week. He is busy with work and has had training. He has been leaving the house early in the morning and not getting home until 9 or 10. I think him being gone has been wearing on all of us. Yesterday I was working in the office on a few things and the boys were watching cartoons (or so I thought). After I finished up checking by email and everything, I went into the kitchen to find black marker all over my cabinets, counter top, and oven. I asked the boys what had happened. Landon said, "Huh?", totally oblivious to the fact that anything had happened. Cason said, "McKenna did it." Obviously a lie, due to the fact that McKenna is too short to write on top of the counter. I had Cason show me what pen he used. He brought me the sharpie, of course. After trying to clean it for about an hour, and trying everything I had on hand including finger nail polish remover, I headed to the store and bought a Magic Eraser Sponge which took it right off!

Today, while the boys were at preschool, I was in McKenna's room sorting through her clothes. I had been talking on the phone to a friend and left the phone laying in her room. After I picked up the boys, we went home to change clothes for their T-ball game. I heard the buttons on the phone beep as Cason headed towards me and handed me the phone. I told him that he should not be playing with the phone and went to hang it up. About 2 minutes later the phone rang. "This is the police department and we just received a 911 call from this number, is everything OK?" I assured the lady that everything was fine, and that I would have a talk with my 4 year old. Out of all 3 of my children, Cason is the mischievous one. He is very quiet and everyone talks about how sweet and polite he is. Most people don't believe that he is the one that you have to keep an eye on.
