Hardman Household: The SMELL of Parenthood...

The SMELL of Parenthood...

Some people's houses smell like food - cookies preferably. :) Some smell like an air freshener. Mine smells like Adidas MOVES for Men.

On Sunday while I was Visiting Teaching and Jeremiah was home with the kids, Archer went to the bathroom. Not an unusual thing for a kid who is potty trained. He was a little long, which isn't a weird thing for Archer. He played in his room by himself - again, typical Archer. Then he started sneaking behind the couch in the Living Room. When he's "sneaking", he's up to something. So Jeremiah checked it out and found a new bottle of Adidas MOVES for Men that was 1/4 gone.

Yeah... So my house STILL reeks of it two days later. It's all over - from my room to Robyn's room, the bathroom, the living room, the kitchen, the boys room - EVERYWHERE! Normally I like the smell of cologne. But this smell is that of an old man who took a shower in it who won't leave you alone! AH!!!

So, if you haven't guessed by my blogs about Archer, he's a sneaky kid. You have to pay CLOSE attention to him. If he's quiet for more than a few minutes, check on him. Hopefully he's just playing with his trains or cars or asleep. If not, destruction is probably happening...

Since I can't take a picture of SMELL, I figured I would post other pictures of Archer from when he was sneaky... (Keep in mind, these are from Bedtime! When they are SUPPOSED to be quiet!)
