Playdoh in the Carpet

The past five weeks have started to wear on Ava and Mia. Mia proclaiming her confusion with tears and really snotty attitudes. Ava communicates hers by dumping 100 ounces of ALL detergent onto the floor (and into one of the dryers we later found out)and then sneaking into the offices and rearranging their belongings; moving papers, pens, picture frames from one cubical and transporting them to another one. She and her accomplice also opened four jars of playdoh and smeared it into the carpet. Of course Josh and I didn't find out until morning-after the staff had already arrived.
So this was good timing for Mom & Dad Distad to arrive for a visit. They gave each girl a night out and plenty of love and attention.
OK. It sounds like we are stressed. We're not. But if we were we would be armed to combat it because today we learned how to deal with stress in class. I realized that I often take a bath for stress management. I won't have a bathtub in Brazil. ~bzp
