I woke up this morning at 6 a.m. thanks to a very awake little boy and discovered a big pile of dog poop in the kids' room. Thank you, Lucy! Lucy rarely ever has accidents in the house - only if she's mad at us or if she really has to go and just doesn't let us know for some reason. I prefer to think it was the latter reason this time. Ironic that I discovered the pile when I was going in that room to change Cole's poopy diaper.

Accalia really needed a bath last night but held out until this morning. There was dirt and sand lining the bathtub when she was finished.

My cousin Rachel and her two boys will be arriving in a couple hours. I've been trying to make our house look somewhat orderly. It's as if Accalia has this radar that detects whenever I'm trying to keep things neat and decides she has to make extra big messes. Accalia loves to put things in groups, stack things, etc., and today she decided she had to take down all of her videos and stack them up everywhere. Then she decided all of the piano books in the piano bench had to be stacked somewhere else. Now I'm off to do a few more things.
