And it continues............

Now that this chapter is finally over I can tell it......

So Becca is out picking weeds when Tyler decided to take the hose (that was on full blast b.t.w.) into the house. Quite frankly I’m not sure what I was more surprised to hear, Tyler taking the hose in the house or Becca out pulling weeds? Having a house full of tile ensured that the water soon spread all over the place! Being the resourceful person that Becca is, she decided to use the shop wet/dry vac to clean it up. What she didn’t know is you must take out the filter or it will ruin said filter (In retrospect I probably shouldn’t have mentioned that to her). In the meantime Tyler was not done with his reign of terror. While Becca was cleaning up the water Tyler went into our room, took off his diaper and peed on our comforter which now has to go to the cleaners (35 bucks).

Update: To add insult to injury, the cleaners lost the comforter and took them nearly a month before they found it. The blanket we had been using as a replacement is not wide enough. The problem is every time Rebecca rolls over, she takes half of the bed with her! It wasn't a problem with the California King sized comforter but with a standard blanket?...... Every night I would wake up half frozen and reminded of Tyler’s little stunt he pulled that day.

Jailbreak!

So Becca went in the backyard to check on the boys playing out there and you’ll never guess where she found Tyler? She found him in the neighbors backyard directly behind us! Just how in the world did he get back there you say? Glad you asked…….Tyler (with the help of his brother I’m sure) took one of the 55 gallon water drums and rolled it to the back fence. They then stacked the wagon on top of that along with a 5 gallon bucket. Tyler climbed all of that and jumped over the 6 foot block fence! So the kid falls on his fanny what’s the big deal? Well the area he jumped into has a pool! When Becca looked over Tyler yells HI MOM! He was acting like it was no big deal….

Becca not being able to jump a 6 foot fence and not wanting to race around the block to the front of their house leaving him back there, had to climb up on that drum, slump herself over as far as she could and reach/pull with all her might to get him back over.

We’re going to have to revamp our whole strategy for the backyard as it seems that a 6 foot fence is not high enough to contain our boys……..
