Countless cups of water on the counter seemingly pushed far enough back that she can't reach them, have flooded the kitchen floor and dinning room table.
Freshly smoked and sauced BBQ chicken on the dinning room table - took only 2 minutes from the time it was delivered to our doorstep by our chicken smoking queen of a friend, I set it on the table, walked outside to say good-bye, and splat. The foil covered aluminum pan was upside down on the carpet.
Bag of goldfish from our preschool snack. She climbed up on the dinning room table, sat down and ate her fill of fish, then dumped the remaining fish on the table, and proceeded to walk around the table, making a lovely gold table covering.

An after school snack of popcorn on the dinning room table. Mountain climber Anna reaches her destination in record time, enjoying piece after piece of popcorn until she discovered that dumping it out onto the carpeting would be a much more enjoyable accomplishment.
15 October:
Pudding cups set on the counter for the kids to have as a mid afternoon snack. GR and I working and talking at the same island counter where the pudding cups wait for a Wii game to finish. Anna and her stealth like maneuvers, sees chocolate, finds a step stool and moves it into position, climbs and reaches. Many hand dips later, GR and I who are RIGHT NEXT TO HER chopping apples for applesauce, look over and see ...
In the words of Sam's current teacher at school; Sam has been having some Friday afternoon memory and hearing issues that have resulted in a couple of yellow cards and even one orange card (you want to always be green) getting pulled. ...
"He's just so darn cute, you just can't get mad at him when he does something wrong."
Yep, she's definitely following in brothers footsteps.

Oh my---busy, busy! Darn cute, though!
Within a year ago, we had to have ALL the chairs (dining, folding, etc) locked into a room because I was just tired of Sam scooting them to wherever he wanted and climbing! This also including making sure there were no stools, or baskets/boxes, etc. that could be used as stools anywhere within his reach. We'd go in the locked room and get the chairs every night for dinner, then when we'd get up, each put our chair away. I think we did this for the better part of a year. At 2 1/2, Sam seems to be a little better, so the chairs are back.
May this journey with Anna not last too long or be too unbearable! ;)
Thanks for the stories behind the pictures. Anna is certainly able to act quickly when she sees something of interest.
that is truly amazing:) and all the pictures you have to document it are adorable :)
looking at these photos reminds me of a comment that Derek often makes when the kids do something naughty: "but..how could you ever deny this face?" She's darling!
