Miraculously, we never once lost our security deposit! A thought on the door situation (if you ever get tired of "little" helpers and spatulas): Get a piece of wood the same width as the space between door and wall and the same length as (or just a bit shorter than) the door. Cut the wood at an angle (like a big triangle) and slide it into the space, with the taller end toward the wall. That way, when the next little something gets dropped behind the door, it should fall down, hit the wood and then tumble right out from behind the door. Unless they've been fooling me about that gravity thing all these years :)sweet mama entropyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379052850120888522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1150861936847996212006-06-21T07:52:00.000+04:002006-06-21T07:52:00.000+04:00Let's just hope he feels the same way when he's te...Let's just hope he feels the same way when he's ten or you may have to go AWOL like me!Gina Conroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647753231391009981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1150861859614128072006-06-21T07:50:00.000+04:002006-06-21T07:50:00.000+04:00What a sweet view on family life from you little g...What a sweet view on family life from you little guy!

Cal's thought on "the more the merrier" is so sweet. It's that kind of thinking that led me to have this big a family. :) Good for him.Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673273777386297395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1150819870697182632006-06-20T20:11:00.000+04:002006-06-20T20:11:00.000+04:00I jumped back to look at your spatula posting and ...I jumped back to look at your spatula posting and that's hysterical. There's no doubt, blogging has helped me see (or at least look for) the humor in situations that would otherwise drive me to the brink. Taping spatulas to a wall, wedging stuff behind a nailed door, just being a kid. I suppose it all depends upon how you LOOK at the situation. If using up an entire roll of blue paint tape is a huge inconvenience - not good. On the flip side, pull out your camera and you've got a great blog posting. However. I'm not looking for any extra "material" ... I've got enough as it is. Infact, I've got more "material" than I could ever blog about. Which is why there is NO way I'd leave these kids alone (unless they are firmly in their cribs sleeping!!) while I run and take a shower. Holy smokes...!!!<BR/><BR/>Your boys are adorable and I think Cal's philosophy on family is right-on.The Amazing Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761348688069779544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1150813489271541492006-06-20T18:24:00.000+04:002006-06-20T18:24:00.000+04:00What a wise boy Cal is!

But they do have to go through that helpless infant stage (and then stubborn toddler, curious preschooler, active schooler, withdrawing preteen, and independent teen stages, too). I think I'll stick with spatula helpers too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789250398792504412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1150792970876642922006-06-20T12:42:00.000+04:002006-06-20T12:42:00.000+04:00Great view of family...he's got that right!

I love just having someone there to keep me company (and cheer me on!), even if I'm doing all the work. I get exasperated sometimes when my kids want to accompany me to places like, say, the bathroom, but it makes perfect sense. They've hardly ever had to be alone.Katherine@Raising Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887240362516586161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1150774072347133872006-06-20T07:27:00.000+04:002006-06-20T07:27:00.000+04:00oh, but you can't cuddle a spatula and dress it in...oh, but you can't cuddle a spatula and dress it in cute little clothes. go on. get a new family member while the idea is out there :)the liznesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234658518071610084noreply@blogger.com
