What a day!

I can't believe the past few days I have had. Ty has really been pushing his limits, especially two days ago. Here is rundown of what he did, ALL IN ONE DAY!
The first 3 he did within about 45 minutes of each other.
#1. He scribbled on my mom's leather couch with a ball point pen (yes, it came out, phew!).
#2. He got into my mom's food coloring paste she uses for her cakes and painted himself and her kitchen table. I didn't get a picture but in the next picture you will see his "pink" hands as proof.
#3. He got into the flour and sugar, pretending to cook dinner.
#4. He climbed up on the stool in my mom's bathroom and got on the counter. Put cotton balls down the sink drain and then turned the water on. Then he filled the toilet with about 1/2 roll of toilet paper, and left...yes water still running. I was feeding Kate and I thought I heard water. When I found the source there was only about 1 inch left before the water would have overflowed onto the floor. Then I had the fun task of putting my hand in the toilet to fish out all the toilet paper so the toilet wouldn't overflow.
#5. He got into my purse and got some gum, which I guess he didn't like because I found this on the stairs.#6. He shoved his stuffed "Tigger" into Spencer's computer.
#7. He woke Kate up and climbed into her crib. When I heard the two of them through the monitor upstairs and went into her room, this is what I saw!
Phew! I'm tired just typing this up. Now for Ty I would expect one or two of these types of things to happen in a day, and believe me they do on a regular basis, but ALL of them in one day. I was pulling my hair out!
So that was two days ago. This was yesterday.
My poor little guy has a temp of 104! He has been moping around the house and laying on the couch all day. Can you believe the difference in the past 2 days. Like a whirlwind over here. Today he still has a fever but he is doing much better.

i love it. OK, so i'm really glad it wasn't my day, but it was fun to see you document it all. Poor Ty. I hope he feels better.

Wow! I'm so so sorry! It's nice to have days like that where you can look back and laugh about it, but on the day...UGH! I completely understand. Maybe it had something to do with him coming down with the flu? Hopefully, right?

Well, here's to hoping you have a great day today!

That is quite the day! How awesome that you caught it all on camera though..what a fun scrapbook page. They really can test your patience, can't they?

He looks SO sick and sad! I can't stand having sick kids...hopefully Kate won't get it.

ps...she is BEAUTIFUL!

WOW, what a day!! I was laughing at each thing. I am sure my laughing will come back to bite me with my son. I hope the little dude is feeling better & that both of you got some needed rest it sounds like! =)

That's amazing! Maybe it was a pre-fever frenzy. Were you praying to have more patience before you had Ty? Because it sounds like he's giving you plenty of opportunity to learn it.
