Playtime gone wrong

I pride myself on not being the meanest mom around. I do really. However, at our house we DO have some rules that even I will admit, are a little strict. For example, we have a huge family room in our basement and we bought this ginormous couch to go in it. It cost a LOT of money and the rule is that the kids may NOT climb on or take cushions off of said couch. Guess what happens a good two or three times a week? You guessed it! Jonathan takes the cushions off the couch to climb on them. I try not to get TOO mad, but rules are rules. Today his friend Porter was over at our house and they were downstairs watching Disney and I was upstairs doing my list of a million things I gotta do today (read previous post). After a while Jonathan comes upstairs to use the bathroom and proceeds to tell on himself. That is always my favorite because then I don't have to try and figure out who did it, they've already told me! Anyways, he tells me that he took the cushions off to make a cave.



Wanna see?

Nice cave, huh?

Sitting nicely on the couch. Like they SHOULD'VE BEEN DOING ANYWAY!!

This picture is because Jonathan has days where he is the funniest kid I know. Today he wanted to wear the same clothes that he wore yesterday. We weren't going anywhere so I said sure. Plus it is one day less laundry of his for me to wash. (He did change his underwear though). But for some weird reason he decided to add his gloves. It makes quite a fashion statement, as I am sure you can see. I think maybe he is channeling Michael Jackson or something. Whatever. It's weird.

He's adorable. I love it when they tell on themselves.

My son loves gloves, too. Actually he loves to cut the fingers off and wear cool "cut-off" gloves.

The kid's got style, you gotta admit!

Today's the day for our Blogger Babe lunch at Golden Corral in Orem, 1:00 p.m. Hope to see you there. Details on the Blogger Babe blog.

I used to love playing with couch cushions when I was a kid! And you have the perfect couch for it too! My couch cushions don't come off, but the kids make forts with huge pillows & blankets.

I love your couch! Even with the pillows off! But it's better with them on. Our couch isn't nearly as nice but we have the same rule. Pillows & cushions stay ON!

And how wonderful that your son helps you along in the "punishment" field. It's one less gray hair, I think!
