The marvelous misadventures of Miss Annie Grace

As many of you know, Annie Grace is constantly looking for new and exciting ways to create mischief around our house. She's famous for climbing in places she shouldn't be. . . ie: on top of the kitchen table, or playing with things that she shouldn't dare touch - mommy's scrapbooking supplies. But in the past I have viewed these occurrences as learning experiences and let her off with, at maximum, a time out. Lately her most favorite past time is taking various objects from the house and putting them inside other things. Sometimes they belong where she puts them and other times, this habit leads to a 3 hour search for the remote control. Anyway, last night was my scrapbooking meeting and I didn't get home until well after Annie's bedtime so she was in her father's care all night long. When I walked into the house Matt looked up from the bed and instructed me to go check out our bathroom toilet. All the explanation that I got was a foreboding. . . "Annie broke it."

Uh oh. . . the first thought that came to mind was an image of the toilets in cartoons when they suddenly erupt with a huge gush of water that is so powerful it dislodges the toilet from the floor. . . you know the one - it had to have happened in like every episode of Tom and Jerry. Perhaps I was over exaggerating this in my mind, but you have no idea the havoc this child can wreak when left to her own devices.

So upon further inspection I realized the cause of his concern - Annie had managed to unroll an entire roll of toilet paper and place every last piece of it into the toilet. The entire bowl was rounded over with soggy toilet paper. Flushing was NOT an option. . . Luckily the toilet was still intact and I was able to get it back into working order after digging out all the tp.

What really concerns me about this situation is not that Annie did this, but that she was out of her father's sight long enough to accomplish it! hmmm. . . I'll have to question him further about that one!
