01.13.15

01.13.15 this day is definitely going down in the boys' baby books.

It all started out good. The boys got up at the normal time. Adrian was happy to be able to go to school again. Travis was eager to help me with laundry.

I quickly noticed that Travis was in a very ornery mood. I spent alot of the morning playing with him and trying to keep him entertained. 

I knew there was a couple things I had to get done today so I finally told him that I'm going to go do some things in the bathroom n he could come with if he wanted. He let me know he'd rather play trucks so I went into the bathroom. I was leaning over the tub, deep in thought, scrubbing, when he comes up behind me and gives me a push. I was all set to scold him when I see the look on his face. It was all fun and games to him, no harm meant. Besides it was a gentle push n I didn't fall. I told him its not a good idea to push somebody like that and he came n gave me a hug. 

Tonight I was making supper when I heard the boys giggling suspiciously. I turn around and my heart sank. They had my bucket of flour, had opened it and spread the flour over the floor, a chair, some of their toys and their faces and hair and clothes were covered. Just as I was about to take their clothes off, I thought about it that I should take pictures. I set them in the midst of it and they were not impressed. I snapped a few pictures and then stuck them in the tub. Now it would be nice if the story ended here! 

I go get them clean clothes while they are splashing and come back to find Travis saying 'no no'. One of them had pooped in the tub. GAG! I was on the phone with Ben and made the comment that it can't get any worse.

I finally get them cleaned up and wrap the youngest in a towel and he leaves the bathroom. I grab the oldest and come out of the bathroom in time to see Travis finish peeing on the floor. I dressed the boys, cleaned all the messes and then we all sat down for some quiet time. I was trying so hard to keep it together that I felt like I needed the quiet time more than the boys. 

I looked at the pictures later and can now laugh about it. Here's to a good night's sleep and starting out a new day tomorrow!
