Daily obstacles

As I slowly open my eyes I am awakened by a shuffling noise. It seems like it could be 4:00am in the morning, but a quick check on the clock and it actually says 6:48am. Logan is standing beside the bed, his P.J. pants around his ankles. He had just come from the bathroom and he hasn't really been too keen on pulling his pants up these days yet. (visitors beware by the way!) I have no desire to get up yet, and even less when I realize Brynleigh is still sleeping. I pull his pants up for him and let him go on his way. He usually just goes downstairs and grabs his LeapPad and comes back up and sits on his bed. But today he decided to stay downstairs and play. Fine by me. I doze off again, and shortly after I am awakened by Brynleigh getting up. Our day has officially started. I do our daily routine in the morning and am on my way to go downstairs and I stop immediately. It looks like it has snowed on our stairs! I guess Logan's toys didn't give him enough amusement because he felt the need to take a WHOLE ENTIRE roll of toilet paper and unravel it all over the stairs!

This could go either way, I could get really mad at him for wasting toilet paper and yell at him, or I could simply get him to help me clean it up and tell him that we don't waste things like that and it's for wiping our bums only. I chose the second option, and as we were cleaning I couldn't help but laugh a little at the enormous amount of toilet paper there actually was everywhere!

We are met with obstacles in our lives everyday. It's up to us how we conquer them. It could be an angry driver, kids that won't listen or simply a bad day. Somehow we always manage and find a way to overcome them.
