Little Luke has the kind of face it's hard to get mad at. He just has to look at you with those chocolate brown eyes and you melt. That being said, he's trouble. He's the brains of the operation and Jack is the heavy. The other day Jack had done something (I think bang on the table) and I told him not to. So I went about doing whatever I was doing and he started doing it again. When I looked up Luke was shaking his head "No, No, No". As soon as I pretended not to be paying attention Luke started chanting, "Jack Jack, Jack Jack" while rocking back and forth. So big brother wanted to make little brother giggle continued to get in trouble. Again when I said something and looked over, Luke was shaking his head.
Last night we were watching TV and the boys were playing having a good time. Luke started crying and I looked over and said, "Oh looks like Luke is stuck." Zachary, being the over-reactor that he is wanted to break the rocking chair because Luke went in there all crazy. I know if he got himself stuck, I could get him unstuck. He had flipped over the kid rocking chair, put his legs between the bottom supports and slid all the way down til his gourd couldn't fit through. He was wedged in there pretty good. It took me not even a minute to get him out and he doesn't even have a bruise.
Now comes to his biggest problem...dog food. You would think that we don't feed the kid enough. Every time we don't lock the kitchen gate, I can find Luke over at Lilo's bowl munching on some dog food. This has been going on for months and he always has a mouthful of dog food. Poor Lilo has to share her wonderful Beneful Weight Control dry dog food with a 15 month old!!!!
It's fun to watch their daily amusements, but sometimes it can give you heart failure!

What an adventurous Monday morning!!!
For the last month our lives have been crazy. We moved then a week later left on a 3 week vacation. The boys were amazing on our trip. Jack was very polite and Luke was his eyelash batting self. No surprise that as soon as we get home little monster emerge.
So our first Monday back and it's starts off with a few cuss words flying. Zach looked over and realized that he forgot to set his alarm for his normal worktime and not weekend duty time. So I scramble downstairs and get the coffee ready, start the car, get that defrosted and pack a breakfast all on the go in a record 10 minutes! Then Jack and I head upstairs to check on Luke several minutes later and then the real fun began.
Sometime during the night, Luke had taken off his diaper and fingerpainted his crib...YUCK! So I take the icky boy and throw him in the tub. Rinse him off then clean the tub and give them both a real bath. No major mishaps there, so I dry them off and put them in Jack's room so I can run downstairs and get Luke a diaper. I hadn't even made it to the bottom of the stairs til I hear Jack standing at the gate at the top of the stairs yelling, "Mmmmmoooooommmmmmmm, Luke just peed on my carpet!". For some reason Jack doesn't think your hear something til you acknowlege him, so he kept yelling this til I made it to the top of the stairs armed with papertowels and some Lysol and carpet cleaner. Oh and don't forget the diaper. So I clean up that mess and let them continue to play in there while I head over to the real mess.
I strip the crib and start a load of nast crib sheets, blankets and toys. Then start scrubbing the crib and then putting furniture polish to make it shine. As the washing machine gets going it starts squeaking (remind me to call Sears and get that fixed!) and then Lilo starts barking at that crazy mouse running on that squeaky wheel inside the washing machine. The boys start running around and Jack's yelling at the top of his lungs, "I'M RUNNING AROUND! I'M RUNNING AROUND!". Breath in, Breath out. So I was finally able to round up the gang and we headed downstairs to watch some Wiggles so Mama could take a deep breath and wake up. So maybe another year before Luke's potty trained??? I'm going to start and have a countdown because I have a feeling we might need to bust out the duct tape again.
For those of you who don't know, Jack was horrible about taking his diaper off. I tried every trick in the book. He even managed to take duct tape off! In the end we would have a piece that started and ended in the back of the diaper and Houdini managed to get it off. Eventually he grew out of it, but that was a very long period. I think I had scrubbed the finish off of his crib!!!
Oh the joys of little boys!
