I was doing the daily rountine of trying to accomplish/complete some work in the office today. I could hear SpongeBob SquarePants in the background so I knew what Damon was up to. The Olivia and Joel sounds were in the norm (squeals of glee and grunts of frustration). I came to a stopping point in my work and decided to check on my 3 perfect little angels.
This was the scene.
I should have known this was coming, just minutes before I saw Olivia walk past the office doors with one barrel of oats. I was unaware that Joel had the other barrel and he was more than willing to help Olivia get the lid off of hers. 
What do you do?!? I laughed because they both seemed to be having a good time. Joel was making motor sounds and bulldozing the oats so a larger area of the floor could be covered. Then he laid down and tried to make "Oat Angels." Olivia enjoyed the taste testing aspect of the whole Oat ordeal. Joel must have realized what kind of mess he had participated in making because he brought the broom to the scene of the crime.

Luckily no fluids were involved...........that would have been much worse.
The whole thing must have taken quite a lot out of Joel because he quit on the second stair and decided to just take a nap. 
One leg was holding up his body weight and as he fell into a deeper sleep it would relax. Then his body would start to slip off the stair and so his leg would tense back up. I watched his little body do that for a minute or two and then moved him someplace much more comfortable with a blanket. I love my "Roly-Poly Joel-y!" Or as Damon likes to call him, "Joel Bo." (No clue why, but that's what Damon likes to call him).

How fun...just today Tessa decided that she wanted to get Ethans blueberry yogart off the kitchen table(totally full) and dump it all over the carpet and couch and then play in it and rub it all over the place...while I was in the office on a business phone call. Seriously! It only took me two hours to clean today. Then I get the comment when austin gets home as he looks around and the house is a mess..."so what did you do today"
