my little mess

So I was sitting on the couch (lazy, I know) watching Regis & Kelly when I heard Maddie squeal with delight!  I looked up and she was quickly climing the stairs.  I looked up again and realized that this time it wasn't because I forgot to shut the gate...hmmmm!?!?

this is how I found her....I'm thinking there is NO way she could have squeezed under that gate!!!

I brought her down and shut the gate hoping she would attempt again....well OF COURSE she did! 

can you see how proud she is of herself!?!

so much for my "gates"! ugh ;)
