McComb Family

The kids had friends over and things seemed to be going well -- Briana and Ashley were off playing together and Adam and Megan were playing in his room. There was no fighting, arguing, crying....what more could I ask for!? However, when their mom showed up to pick them up, we noticed what the younger two had been up to, and it was no good!!!

The funny thing is, they've done this once before. I should have learned!! They took everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, from his room and piled it on the floor. I pushed and pushed on the door and got it open about a foot. In that small space, I saw more than I needed to see and marched downstairs to get the camera. Adam must know that when the camera comes out, I'm documenting some evidence of his poor choices. He promptly slammed the door as soon as he saw the camera coming his way.

He opened it up far enough to poke his head out and say, "No cameras!" I felt like the paparazzi. You can tell by the look on his face that he knows he's in big trouble!! [Notice the bed frame in the background with no mattress or shelves underneath that are normally there!]

This is what I saw when I was able to poke my head around the door. Lovely, isn't it?!

And this my fellow parents, is why kids cannot be left alone. Frequently checking in on them is imperative!!! If it's quiet and you think things are going well....there's big trouble. Trust me, I know!!!
