Funny Stories

Jamie caught Connor red-handed a while back with resees peanut butter cups. There were a few left over (probably from halloween?) and sitting on the kitchen table. She had left him in the kitchen while taking Avery up to take a nap. When she came down, he was sitting on the kitchen floor, with a reeses in his mouth, a wrapper on the floor next to him, and another unopened one in his hand !! All he said was "mmmm" (good !!) He had apparently used a magazine or something on the table (which they can now reach) and slid it across the table - not knowing (we think) that it would knock whatever was on the table off !!

Both Avery and Connor play with the stereo in the living room on the way by to go to the stairs for bed, etc. They usually don't get to play in the living room. Even when playing with the stereo, they don't quite know all the right buttons to push - usually the speakers are turned off, but they turn the receiver on and off, select FM radio, and definitely play with the volume knob. One day Avery was playing with all the buttons, and happened to get them all in the right sequence. The volume was on max, and she turned on the radio - speakers were on. BLAST !!! Jamie looked, only to see Avery freak out with her arms flailing out to the sides and scared face. Didn't know what to do - so she crawled into the "cubby hole" wood box that supports the stereo equipment - hiding from the disaster I guess :-)
