I left the house to take Lili to Chalkboard on Sunday afternoon . Drove through lightning flashing in front of us, torrential rain, a sudden river on the roads and then big hail. Came home to discover Luk and Jia had made a camp under the dining room table and Kai had moved everything around in the living room. Remotes and wires out of baskets and the baskets filled with Duplo. Every piece of furniture moved. Rocks taken from a crystal bowl and lined up on the window sill. All couch cushions taken off and moved. Seriously everything he could move, he did. I wasn't gone that long! Big girl baby sitting thought he was playing with the others. Then Kai adamantly denied doing the deed and was pointing at the others. Jia and Luk were pointing at Kai. Ya' I lost it. All three of them lined up and pointing at each other. I hate the blame game. We all know it was Kai. Sigh. So, Eric came in when he heard me ranting. We sent the boys to the toy room. Took half an hour to put the living room back! Jia sorted the dining room. Then I declared that the living room was mine and that was the LAST time Kai was allowed in there. So we moved the eating area to the sitting room and the sitting room to the sun room and the duplo to the sun room.
All in an effort to thwart Kai. He does great when we're with him but the destruction he can do on his own is awesome. Luk is upset that he can't watch TV in the living room but they have tv in the playroom so I'm not feeling bad for him. Luk is supposed to tattle when Kai is doing his weird move everything around thing. The boys played downstairs for a half hour and then it took me an hour to clean up the toy room. Kai can NOT handle being in there. It's too much. He works so hard at moving everything that he breaks a sweat.
So, in the morning they were all happy that the furniture was moved around. Jia is thrilled with her new pink chair. Kai seems pleased to have the duplo near Eric.
I bought the mine craft Star Wars shirts for the boys right when Kai joined our family. Jia was upset that she didn't get one. So, I kept looking in Walmart and they finally had another one there. So they were all thrilled to have matching shirts. Cute. Then a boy in school told Jia it was a boy shirt so she likely won't wear it again. Even though she totally knew it came from the boy section.
I bought Luk some girl pants because they're slimmer. Stitch picked the bow off and he was good to go. That wasn't enough to convince Jia that girls can wear boy shirts. She has a gauzy skirt on today, proving to Carter that she isn't a boy!
