Can't a girl take a shower?

Before I went upstairs, I checked to make sure things were out of Eva's reach, doors and cabinets closed, etc. I'm in the shower for two minutes - had managed to wash my hair and shave one leg - when I hear Sophia whimpering outside the door, "Mommy, Eva's in trouble." What could it be this time? I wonder as dozens of scenarios scroll through my mind.

I race downstairs in my robe, hair dripping, to find this:
And this:

She had pushed her chair over to the counter and taken a big bite out of each and every strawberry. Never mind that I had moved them to the back of the counter, with this very fear in mind. Never mind that I was looking forward to eating them later that day. Never mind that I can't even shower in peace. And never mind that she had already unrolled a roll of toilet paper and tried to clean the counter with my makeup remover earlier that morning. Never mind that it's not even 9:30am.

Wow. I am so sorry! She is a handful...no really, she is. :)

Oh Katie, you deserve a break! Hope you get one soon. You should do a post about the trouble she gets into when Andy is watching her!

I can't help but laugh....only b/c Eva & Ethan are identical! I completely can relate...these moments occur quite often at our house too!

I am cracking up at the little bites out of each and every strawberry! Is this what I am in store for?
