Our house has become infested with a troupe of household knick-knack goblins. From the erasers on our pencils to the door-stops, to the knobs on our counters, these little pieces of our home are slowly but surely going missing. And, much like a neglected body-part, you never really realize how much not having use of it sucks until it's gone.
Today I caught one of them in action! But do not be deceived by big goo-goo eyes and dimples! Monitoring them can be quite dangerous!
Observe:
She knows that we would never suspect her unless we caught her in the act. Even then... Ms. Goo-goo-eyes thinks to herself, "what would they do to me? Kiss me as punishment?" Just like a lady, bats her eyelashes and all is fine in the world.

Now if only I could find her culprit; the one who is biting the erasers off of mommy's pencils.
Ah, and last but not least... when a stay-at-home mom becomes bored with your average alphabetical and linear grocery list she puts her sketching skills to the test! Take THAT conspirators of the SAHM's! As if juggling an infant and a pre-schooler mid-shopping spree wasn't enough the ante has been upped and now she will be forced to decipher her own terrible drawings from the night before.
... Yea... Okay, so I cheated and wrote on the "labels".

I had to look up, 'knob goblin.' cause I know I had heard that before. Okay, clearly there are 2 definitions and I must've read the wrong one.
Your kids are adorable. My Godfather has a little granddaughter and she's just turned 3.
And yes, if you leave them alone they will destroy things. If it's paper and within her reach it will get shredded.
As far as doodles go when I did a security job years ago I wound up doodling crazy stuff too in the wee hours so don't feel bad about it.
That second pic of her (sucking fingers) is amazingly cute! Careful your knob goblin doesn't ever choke on one of her stealings. Perhaps she'll grow up to be a carpenter or engineer who likes to take things apart &/or build them.
adorable children, for sure! You are fortunate to have them =)
soooooo cute. I wanna eat'em up!
The pictures on your list came out well!!
I just want to take your knob-goblin and kiss kiss kiss her! Please don't tell me that was a dildo on your list...
@Kellsbella - LOL! Definitely NOT! The only thing I believe could be mistaken for that is the razor, baby carrot, and MAYBE the Jesus candle? Lol OH and maybe the Banana.
@amateurprose - Thanks! Matthew said the same thing. This list actually turned out to be a giant pain in my ass at the store today, though. Lol. Next time I'm thinking of making a picture book.
@Kris0logy - Thank you, ma'am. =D I hope they're as gorgeous as your kiddos when they grow up.
@Electrons_in_Hiatus_2009 - Thank you very much. =)
@Crystalinne - We said the same thing about our oldest, Aidan. He's the one who sneaks the screwdrivers out of daddy's tool box to try and "fix" his toys. lol.
@dw817 - Yea, we forgot what it was like to have a baby running around so we are having to RE-baby-proof everything! lol. Most of the stuff we don't even think to move or put away or blockade until she gets into it.
