While I was upstairs putting laundry away, Katelynn busied herself by constructing one of her famous Clue-Boggle-Chutes and Ladders-Life-Payday-Travel Connect Four-Chinese Checkers-Wizard of Oz Trivia-Apples to Apples-Farkle-Monopoly-and-Mexican Train Double Twelve Dominoes piles.
Needless to say, I was not amused.

ME (head exploding): “KATELYNN! OH MY GAWD, WHY DID YOU MAKE THAT BIG MESS??!! YOU ARE GOING TO CLEAN UP EVERY ONE OF THOSE GAMES LITTLE MISSIE! I AM VERY UPSET! START PICKING THEM UP RIGHT NOW.”
KATELYNN: “You help me, Mommy.”
ME: “ABSOLUTELY NOT. You did it. You clean it up.”
KATELYNN: “Mommy, I don’t like your attitude.”

I bit a hole clean through my cheek, but I managed to stifle a burst of laughter. And THAT’S progress, people.

If nothing else, they are worth having for their comedic value. Why do you think I have FOUR?
I am just reading your blog for the first time today. I got here via Dad Gone Mad. I am really enjoying reading as many as your posts as I can. Great writing. Sorry, though, I already voted for amalah. Next time. You two are in direct competition for the same turf. But, she’s pregnant which is always very interesting. How about a fifth kid?
