"Help, mom!"

 

"A bad robot tracked me down and tied me up."

Apparently.  

My Aidan has some seriously mad knot skills.  At four, the most practical use for such skills is Mother Irritation.  No ribbon, necktie or string is safe around this boy.

What is up with boys and knot tying. I almost had to cut a dress off L today that K knotted her into.

WHen did you post all of this? I'm behind!
I love it when kids take the time to imagine and come up with things such as evil robots that can tie you up. I don't envy you all of the tied up things though. Talin went through a stage where he went around and tied knots in everything. Only Tom was really effected, because everytime he grabbed a pair of shoes they would be tied together in a million little knots. Not fun.

That is some serious knot tying. You have to give it to him for being a creative robot :)

That's hilarious. I remember when I was 10 and my brother was 8 we begged our mom to tie us up back-to-back sitting on little chairs. She finally complied and we panicked because she did such a good job! I've never really dabbled in knot-tying myself.

That's funny! I can only imagine the mischief.

Is he sure it wasn't a chipmunkish warewolf that tied him up?

How smart of him to blame 'a bad robot'! Very cute.
I LOVE the little theatre! The kids and puppets are sooo
adorable ;) Your cake decorating is beautiful. The baby
shower looks wonderful and so does Angie. I love her twin's names too. ciao

How funny! He can tie some serious knots! I am so sad! I wasn't able to attend the shower over at Kay's on Saturday. I would have LOVED a piece of that cake. Kay looks darling in her new outfit! She is the cutest! :)

I think your boys would get along REALLY well with mine. Thanks for this hilarious little glimpse into your life.

Amy! Those cupcakes are unreal! I am a huge cupcake fan, and love to decorate and EAT them. I think I need that swank little stand for display. I love how the cupcakes shoot out at all different angles.

I, too, am the queen of doing the unnecessary, frivolous stuff to avoid laundry, bathrooms, dishes, garbage, the sticky kitchen floor ... But come on, when your kids are grown they will better remember the Little Theatre than the clean home. And what a Little Theatre! Absolutely darling! You are pure genius to make puppets out of their pictures. I will definitely be borrowing this idea.

Carter doesn't tie knots yet. I am chosing to live under the delusion that he won't.

Amy you are awesome. Your cake decorating skills are just wonderful. Too beautiful to eat. You are a great Mother too. Your boys are lucky to have all your energy and great ideas. Damian may try to hop houses if he thought he could!!! Seriously you are great. Eloise

It might be time for some more box painting - it sounds like you need a 'bad robot' trap.

[megan t]

I hate it when that happens to me

Hello friend! I am here and loving the pics and posts...my ellie loves to pretend that she has been tied up by her brothers zack and cody. (ummm, they are pretend, too.)

Okay, I have to add for your remembering sake that the other day when I was watching him, he made a noose (well, he called it a lasso) and since London was being his dog, it was around her neck. I told him that wasn't safe and we needed to get it off. As I was about to get my scissors to cut it, he just loosens the noose and I was in shock. What 4-year old can make a perfect noose??????? He is AMAZING.
