I know all of you moms out there have similar stories to these, but I have decided to keep a running list. This way when the kids grow up I can show them how much they owe me and when they have kids they will understand why payback is such a B****! :)
1. Today Dani shoved about $4.00 worth of quarters into my tape deck in the van. I had a roll of quarters that I have been using to tip my barista. I looked down and there was one sticking out of the deck thingy. Dani (from the back seat) yells proudly, "My do that Mommy!" I guess I will no longer send them downstairs while I quickly gather everything we need for the outing! Good thing we don't listen to tapes!
2. Ellie was screaming 25 minutes after I put them into their cribs at nap time. I went in there and she was IN Dani's crib with her! Apparently she scaled the ends of the cribs and wound up in her sister's bed. This wasn't the problem though, she left her "nai nai" blanket in her bed. I guess it is most definitely time for the big girl beds! Of course this happens when Kent is out of town for two weeks!
3. During nap time I was reading in my room, trying to regain some sanity (is that even possible?) when Brayden starts SCREAMING from the bathroom (which is right next to the girls room where they are napping)! Great, I get up and race into the bathroom. He is sitting on the toilet and he said, "Mommy I have owie poops." Seriously, I calmly say, "I'm sorry, what would you like me to do?" He says, "I don't know, but it really hurts!" I say, "Ok, well just sit there and hopefully it will feel better soon." Come on, what are you supposed to say/do? I also added, "Do it quietly, your sisters are sleeping and I don't want them to wake up yet!"
what will be next.....?
The everyday happenings of our chaotic lives with three young children.

On our side of the family, Sandy always ensures that Zach gets plenty of "black bean burritos"!! They seem to prevent "owie poops" As further testimony, Brayden's dad and uncle kelly NEVER had that problem here in Florida when Beans (MANY varities) were an integral part of our daily regimin.
So sorry for you. I'm feeling your pain right now. Nick's out of town as well...not for two weeks, but still. I might suggest a nice cocktail if need be. :)
