Mess Mouse Moose
Zion is just so adorable I can’t hardly take it.
He is just such a dear. We all love him to pieces, with perhaps the exception of Israel, who dislikes intensely when Zion threatens to take his current toy of choice.
Zion is into EVERYTHING. That child. I could follow him around ALL DAY – he is a one-baby bucket of chores. He stamps busily all over the house, right arm swinging industriously, tongue out in concentration, fuzzy curls wisping around on his head. Pulling cereal out of the cabinet, climbing chairs so that he can climb onto the table to find food to fling around, opening cupboard doors and unearthing contents, throwing items into the bathtub, swirling the toilet brush in the toilet, throwing socks in the shower, rearranging items under the bathroom sink,
dumping pretzels on the floor, lugging a toothbrush around the house,
tearing toilet paper rolls apart
or pulling tissues out of tissue boxes, pushing a broom around angrily,
(it really infuriates him because it gets caught on items like chairs), opening and closing the oven doors and dishwasher, 
flinging around dried folded clothes that Mommy happened to leave resting on the open dryer door for a few seconds, emptying toys out of bins, emptying markers and crayons from boxes, hurrying to dump the dog food in the dog water quick quick quick before Mommy takes it away, carting the water container from the humidifier in his room around everywhere like a beloved suitcase, attempting to plug in various electrical appliances such as heaters and fans…the list is endless.
I came out of the bedroom on my birthday to find that Israel and Zion had coordinated their efforts and joyfully emptied three entire boxes of cereal onto the floor.
I grimly set to cleaning up the gigantic mess, telling myself that it actually was NOT my birthday, that it was a normal day just like any other, so no need to have expectations of a life of ease just because I turned 32.
(Don’t worry, my day improved after that. )
And then there is his cheesy little grin.
I LOVE IT!!! Such a mess moose dude bob.
I mean, seriously. How could you resist this guy?? Melt melt melt melt melt.

I’m scared now!
Nugget destroys my house in 2 minutes flat on her own. Now I’m providing her with an accomplice (in 70 something days!!!) who will only be 16 mos younger than herself! This particular post is causing me some heart palpitations! 
Oh the cereal!!! What a start to your b’day- still want to hear about the rest of your day! Silas is a mess too- nothing he loves better than emptying a drawer! C
