One of Those Days...

Before

After

I had a great morning with the boys. We made pancakes and played trains (Thomas of course). Then, we made a regular trip to Walmart. With both boys it is an adventure.

I have not yet figured out how to keep them in the cart. They seem to move from the cart to the floor, then from standing on one side of the cart (on the outside) to the other side. At one point, Caleb was underneath the cart. Not safe! Who knew a shopping cart could turn into a play gym.

We finally made it out. I took a deep breath. Thank goodness for the sunshine.

Well, due to the nice weather, I let the boys play outside while I made lunch. Clay quickly ran inside and said, "Mom, come here. This is serious." I ran outside to see the boys standing over a dead bird! I told them not to touch it and it dawned on me I better asked them if they already had. And of coure, they responded - "Yes. They had just petted it." I quickly took the boys inside to the bathroom and we scrubbed our hands. Oh, what a day.

After playing and eating lunch in the playhouse, it was time for bed. Lets see, while the boys were supposed to be sleeping, they managed to dump most of the toys out of the toy baskets. (See photo above.) When I went into check on them, they were playing tug of war with a rope I had hung in the boys room that once displayed drawings they had made. I decided it was time to separate the boys. Caleb quickly feel asleep.

It is almost 4. Better go check to see what Clay is doing. I hear music playing and he is singing. Not exactly what I meant when I asked him to "rest." Oh well, got to love um.

Never a dull moment around here!
