All in a Day's Work

Today, the following things happened at my house:

1. When I went to use the bathroom, I found a small space shuttle eraser floating in the toilet. Guess whose space shuttle it was.

2. Gus attempted to eat a magnet from the fishing game. When Dashing Husband reprimanded him, he ran away, giggling maniacally.

3. Gus colored most of his torso and some of his face blue with a magic marker. No amount of soap has been able to completely remove the evidence of this.

4. Gus spent several happy minutes walking around with an office-sized trash can on his head. Every space explorer needs a helmet, right?

5. Gus walloped Will upside the head with a small toy football. Thank God it was the Nerf-like kind.

6. Gus removed all 200 baby wipes from their container and marched around the house with them in his arms. He held them close to his chest, as if they were a baby. A very damp, scented baby.

7. Gus refused to let me clip his toenails. So I wrestled him to the ground (again with the wrestling!) and did it anyway. They were starting to look very wild-thingish.

8. As I write this, he is flirting with danger and refusing to go to bed. Instead of laying peacefully on his mattress, he's sitting by the door and blowing raspberries into the hallway. Turd.

9. Gus got some hemp and tried to tie the dogs to the laundry basket.

And today, well, today was an easy day. Made even better by Gus walking up to me in the bathroom to tell me that my hair looked "beautiful."

I think I'll keep him. For now.
