I was in the kitchen with my Mother-in-law who's here visiting from the states when it dawned on me that the kids were super quiet. I went to see what they were into & found them on the coffee table (a big NO in my house) emptying the box of Kleenex. I didn't get the full effect in the photo. They made a much bigger mess on the floor that you can't see. I cleaned up at least 30 Kleenex off the floor too. Here's my sweet little adorable babies who are usually so well behaved - caught in the act!

I have 7 nephews and know all too well how fast they grow out of this stage! It seems like yesterday that they were all babies & now they are range in age from 12-24! The oldest is a married Marine and they just recently learned that they are expecting their first child. I still vividly remember getting up in the night to do his feedings. It doesn't seem like it's been 24 years ago that I was doing that!!!
 
Oh my gosh, they are so cute! I love the looks on both of their faces :)
 
The look of GUILT!!!!:devil::D
 
cracks me up--the baby covers his ears cause he knows you're going to get on him

Actually, I don't yell. So that's the super funny part. I think he's trying to put them on his cheeks & do "oh no", but just missed! LOL
 
Too funny...it definitaly is the look of a child's version of "oh sh*t"!!! So glad you got this on film. What a memory!!
 
That's awesome! Their expression is definitely priceless...they so know they're in trouble! Love it. I have a couple of pics when Tristan got into my flour and another during marker rock star! Didn't get his oops moment though! love it!
