Busy Woman

 

(How Lucy likes to watch TV)

 

This lady has been BUSY! 

 

 For the most part Lucy is a calm girl that doesn't get into things that she shouldn't but that all changed this week.  She has been a tornado and my house is the path of her destruction.  The other day I was desperately in need of a shower, usually I make her come upstairs with me and watch a show on my bed while I am in there but she was so content playing with her dolls in the toy room that I just decided to let her play.  That was my first mistake.  When I got out of the shower she ran right over and handed me a candy cane.  I thought, "Where in the world did she get this?"  Then I remembered that the girls made candy cane reindeer to handout to their friends.  They have been on the table for over a week and haven't been disturbed at all.  She had gotten into the candy canes and pulled off the antlers, nose, eyes, ribbons, unwrapped them and was a big sticky mess.   The same day she also got into the drawer on the desk where we keep markers and pencils.  She wrote on the walls with pencil, used sharpie on the dry erase board, made a huge stain on the carpet with the dry erase eraser, undid a bunch of toilet paper in the bathroom, got into the kid's puzzles and mixed all the pieces of all the puzzles together, played with the mouse on the computer and was half way through deleting a program when I caught her.  Later that evening she was carrying around her purse when she started pulling out all sorts of real money.  The kids and I just looked at each other and were like "what the HECK?!"  She had gotten into Cam's room and into his piggy bank, taken out his money, put it in her purse and then put everything back in his room undisturbed!  What a little turkey!!  Apparently I need to supervise her more closely but have been a little distracted getting things ready for Christmas.  What a little pistol!
