That's a Damien from The Omen-face if I ever saw it.

It just says: "This isn't over"

Looks like I was right :pac:

I'm disappointed that you bumped this thread yourself... You could have created a new one...damn....

Edit: I hope you don't turn into the ultimate sad bastard and decide to inform us of your bowl movements

Edit: nah you'll never ever, ever be that pathetic, only a sad lonely gimp would do that.

Its bad enough my kids running amuck in the house - I didn't want to let them do it to After Hours with multiple threads!

Aww cute from here but I don't have to do the clean up, but here's a little poem to make you feel better

I miss you when we're not together
I'm growing up so fast
See how big I've gotten
Since you saw me last?
As I grow, I'll change a lot,
The years will fly right by.
You'll wonder how I grew so quick
When and where and why?
So look upon this handprint
That's hanging on your wall.
And memories will come back of me,
When I was very small

Very nice.

I should have been more mad this morning than I was but all I could do (again) was laugh and be grateful that (a) it was not marker/pens/etc (b) glad they were ok from not eating the stuff - I checked to be sure - and (c) grateful that they were generally overall healthy and happy.

Biggins - Thanks for the laugh.
You reminded me of the time one of my little darlings decided to empty the fire extinguisher all over the sitting room.

I walked in the door to find one of the older kids trying to shut it off, while frantically screaming "Muummmm..."
There was foam everywhere.

I wasn't laughing at the time, but I had to smile when I saw those pictures.

Then there was the time the same little "angel" decided to pour 2x 1 litre bottles of shampoo down to toilet - and flushed repeatedly to try to get rid of the evidence... Cue countless buckets of water being poured carefully down the loo, because flushing only created more bubbles.

Kids! You really do have to laugh.

Well my little dears were at it again this morning.
They decided to empty a bean bag in their rooms this morning.
We woke to find their room looking like a winter wonderland and they playing in it!
It was EVERYWHERE.
(Took over three full, non-stop hours just to clean it up)

Still gotta love kids!

They too did the shampoo thing this morning as well.
They got all the diffrent colour shampoo bottles and tried to make they're own design in the tub this morning.
They must have got bored with the winter wonderland!

Wife and I fear what we are going to wake up to every morning!

Aye. tried it but as you say, the fan at the back of a hoover can blow the crap just as bad, while it sucks in at the front!
I sweated buckets this morning clearing the stuff up!

Ah, the bath's not so bad - start getting afraid when they discover that it makes lots more bubbles when you pour it down the loo, and flush...:D:D

The amount of bubbles cascading out of the loo for ages afterwards has to be seen to be believed..:eek::D

(Goes off to check those pics to see whether Biggins and Madmammy have their bathroom floor tiled - just a thought.:P:D)

Welcome to Afterhours, Madmammy.

Lol, we've had the shaving foam, the hair gel, the make-up and the washing powder.

Worst though, was when I went to do the washing up one day, came in 10 minutes later and my toddler had pulled soot from the chimney all over himself, the floor, the telly, the coffee table and the sofas. 10 minutes and the place was destroyed!!

He looked like Stevie Wonder and the living room looked like a coal mine :rolleyes:

Your daughter is adorable!

Holy Sh!t. I was getting the dinner ready and my husband woke up to a similar sight this morning. He was really pissed that our son had emptied yet another can of shaving foam all over the place.

Why?

No. I'll be honest, we bought it. Its hard wearing stuff - knowing it was going in the kids room - and by the way things turned out, we were right to get more durable stuff.
When they are older and (hopefully!) have a bit more sense, we probably change it.

If I foamed my parents house as a kid, I'd have been in so much sh*t.

I remember one year my two sisters and I got some talcum powder sets for Christmas. We were all pretty young (I was maybe 6) and we started squeezing the bottles and puffs of talc were flying everywhere. For some reason I think we thought it was going to disappear so we all chased each other around squeezing the stuff at each other.

Oh the horror when we saw the talc had all settled on the floor, beds etc.

I can't remember the outcome. But thankfully it was at my grandparents, so I am pretty sure they saw the funny side.

Had forgot all about that

I got the same thing when my little girl was in preschool, she turns 18 next week, it gets even cuter the older they get

That brought back memories!

When I was a child my mam used to use Shake 'n' Vac to clean the carpets. Anyone remember that stuff?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8CTscW3dpI

One mother's day, I decided to hoover the floors for my mam before she got up. But instead of using the shake n vac I used talcum powder thinking they were the same thing. By the time she woke up, I'll poured talcum powder all over the sitting room, dinning room, hallway and stairs carpets. My mam nearly killed me when she got up and saw the mess!

My sister once decided to paint the house in a mixture of Butter and Ashes, my mother to this day recounts waking up and finding her, aged 2 or 3 I think, and everything else covered in it.

My niece also covered herself and the house in a Jar of Vicks, it was horrible job trying to get it out of her hair.

This reminds me of when my aunt and I were having a chat at the dinner table, her then 18-month-old daughter pulled down a full pound of butter and we didn't even notice her getting it all over herself (once she was quiet and right beside us we didn't worry). It took about an hour to get it off her!

And then my daughter managed to open a full pack of firelighters when she was 2 and crumbled them all to smithereens. It could have been more serious, thankfully there was one of those childproof fireguards around the fire. But it took days to get it off the chairs and the mat!
The same girl is now 8 and tidies up the house while I surf Boards and facebook - this is the life

(And I'm sure your children will do the same for you in a few years time Biggins and madmammy!)

YouTookMyName

Got a full tube of white silicone on me arms and hands when i was 5. The amazment of the whole silicone gun squeezer got to me.

The scrubbing and the smell of white spirits and petrol to thin it out hurt like crazy. Was ages before i went near the stuff again.v

Thank you Biggins. This thread brought back so many memories of what my own little darlings got up to.Have just spent about two hours shaming the kids to each other as we recount the stories.
Tears of laughter,a great way to spend a wet sunday afternoon.

I printed out this poem and pinned it on the noticeboard in full view for just such moments...:D



Subh Milis
Bhí subh milis
Ar bhaschrann an dorais
Ach mhúch mé an corraí
Ionam d’éirigh,
Mar smaoinigh mé ar an lá
A bheas an baschrann glan,
Agus an láimh bheag
Ar iarraidh

Yearssss ago (when people didn't know about this stuff) my mam used to put honey on my soother... one morning she took me into the bed beside her, honeyed up my soother and fell back asleep, forgetting to put the lid back on the jar of honey... she woke up to a bed full of honey and it all over her and me... yum yum...

slightly off topic .... but

when i was 8 or 9 ish i answered the door and saw 2 Jehovah's witnesses / Mormons in the men in black outfits , they asked was my parents at home so i invited them in and showed them into the sitting room ( never used unless it was a special occasion or visitors ) now i never invited anyone in but i thought this would be funny

sat the two lads down , asked did they want tea and left the room ,
walked into the kitchen and told my mother in as serious a face as i could muster that 2 men were in the sitting room and they wanted to talk with her

she got real worried looking and ran off into the front room and closed the door -

25 minutes later she leads the boys out and said goodbye - spun round and turned in Satan himself , all i could do was crack my hole laughing - she went mental , poor old girl , she is so reserved she would never tell anyone to feck off

she thought it was the cops with bad news :eek:
kids are great craic

Just an update, so far now between the four of them, they have managed to colour the walls at least six times.
Paint, crayon, marker, madmammy's lipsticks, chalk and pencil.
In each case, hours of work from the moment they woke on the morning of each attempt to make our lives more colourful!
In most cases, it was the same usual devil that started the whole lot off every time.
You know, this one again!
(Not the cat! LOL)

Kids, you gotta love them!

I woke up a few weeks ago to find the contents of my freezer on the kitchen floor and my 2 year old eating an ice pop in the sitting room.

He's also destroyed my walls, doors, floors and himself with nutella, it was everywhere. I have pics so I'll have to put up a few tomorrow.

Every night before I go asleep I have to set an alarm so I can wake up before him, otherwise god knows what he'll do.

My sister and brother in law is about to have their first kid Monday (by caesarian section, complications involved so safest method of birth for them).

I will be giving the new mammy lots of nice presents for her and the child.
For dad, he will be getting a box of cleaning stuff, cello-tape, glue, sick bags and towels.
He might think its odd - but he'll thank me later! :pac:

We have to make sure the bathroom taps are are tightly secured as possible, at night time.
One morning we woke to find puddles in the kids bedrooms.
The kids decided to make what they called "Muddy puddles" (apparently from a kids TV show called Peppa Pig) and play in them.
The fact that their "Muddy puddles" was indoors, didn't matter a jot or second thought to them!

We can laugh about it ...now!
