BUSY...BUSY...BUSY!

If I had to pick one word to describe Paige it would be: BUSY. She is constantly on the go. Here are a few pictures from the past few days:

Paige has recently discovered that she can now open the spice cupboard by herself. This makes cooking a challenge as she is always offering a new spice to add to the meal. Saturday, I was just coming down from upstairs and this is what I see at the bottom of the stairs:

Paige is smiling from ear to ear because she found the bottle of sprinkles in the spice cupboard and was helping herself to a little snack.

Here is the cupboard after she had rummaged through it. Fortunately she had only gotten to a few of the spices before she found the sprinkles and not everything had been dumped out.

I now have a freshly cleaned spice cupboard :)

Yesterday I was trying to get the kitchen cleaned up and Paige was again trying to "help" (which is code for following me around and un-doing everything I had just done). So, I put her upstairs and put the gate up, thinking she could just play in her room until I got done. After I was done in the kitchen I went upstairs to get her. This is what I found:

Paige had gotten into the closet where we keep the pet supplies and dumped out a whole container of dust. I'm sure you're wondering why we even have a container of dust. Well, Dylan has two little pets in his room. They're called Degu's (pronounced day-goo), they're kind of like hamsters. Anyway, these degus take dust baths and so we buy dust at the pet store. Crazy, I know. Well Paige had managed to find the container, open it, dump it, and then track it all over the upstairs bedrooms and hallway. Lets just say I was less then impressed.

So not only do I have a really clean spice cupboard, I now also have freshly cleaned floors upstairs. My life would be so boring without a helpful, curious, into-everything, adorable 2 year old!
