naughty, yes naughty

it's official. 

my sweet perfect little angle boy is....

ok not gone but becoming

very very mischievous. 

i love it though. 

its such a little boy faze to go through.

most of the time i can just laugh.

like the few naughty things i've recently taken pictures of.

i know i shouldn't but i love capturing his naughtiness.

i was in the office and i could hear steele with a bag.

it sounded like he had the triscuts in his room.

he loves triscuts and gets them out of the pantry all the time.

he'll take the plastic bag out and just go to town 

{which the fiber is great for him. more on that later.}

then the quiet set in. 

any mother knows when they hear 

complete silence something is very wrong.

i went into his room and this is what i found...

it was everywhere!

his bed was covered in white powder.

this picture doesn't show the white very well.

it was all over the floor too.

then i had to find steele. 

i could hear the crinkling plastic bag in the pantry.

and yep. there he was hiding with the bisquick.

look at those mischievous eyes. 

and that smirk. he obviously knew

 he was doing something he wasn't supposed to.

a few days later i was getting ready

to go to lunch with my mom and sisters. 

i ironed my pants, put them on and sat down at the

computer for a few minutes. steele was in the

office with me playing with some golf balls. 

only a few minutes went by.

 i turned around and saw yellow everywhere! 

what was it? yellow puff fabric paint.

he had painted the legs of the ironing board and several 

spots had dripped on the carpet!

luckily none of it had time to dry so it cleaned up pretty well. 

steele had paint all over his hands so i put him in the tub.

i bathed him then got him out and set him on 

the couch in his towel to watch a show so i could get dressed.

only a few minutes later....

i came out into the kitchen and this is what i found.

i'm not sure how steele reached the knives

but he had gotten a butcher knife and a row of 

unfrozen otter-pops. he sliced through all of them and 

liquid had spilled all over my counter, down the 

cabinets and onto the floor. he had it dripping

down the front of him. back into the tub.

i'm just thankful he didn't injure himself!

another....

 just the other day steele was in the tub.
i was in my closet getting dressed and i hear him say

"mommy i got blood." he said it so matter of fact and so calmly.

i went to the tub and he was holding my razor and his fingers were dripping blood!

i always take my razor head off and let him play with just the handle.

he found the head behind the shampoo bottle and was trying to put it

back on the handle. poor guy. i felt awful. he had 3 huge chunks out of his fingers. 

they wouldn't stop bleeding. he went through 3 band-aids on one finger.

these are only a few stories of  how steele is starting to become

very very mischievous. he's doing things all the time

that he knows he's not supposed to.

and in only a matter of minutes.

 you gotta love the kid though. 

he is adorable!
