The Other Day

I have to blog about my day the other day because more often than not my days go just like this one did, and I know someday I will look back and wonder where all my time went. I do not want to forget what it was like when my kids were little, and hopfulley when I read this in years to come I will be glad I wrote it down to remember, but glad it's over too! So since I hurt my back (doing who knows what) I have been doing some excercises I was given by a very generous and kind physical therapist who happens to be our home teacher. This particular morning I was feeling pretty sore from not doing my excercises the way I should have the day before (gee, I wonder why...couldn't be lots to do with the kids and house or anything). I decided that even though I had dishes that needed done, and a house to clean that I would lie on the floor and do some excercises. Just as I get the first set done, Kael comes hauling into the room towards me, and I am the recipent of a butt in the face. Somehow he and Havyn had gotten their diapers off and they were both running around butt naked. So I get up and chase them down and get their dipaers back on just in time for Koen to start bugging me for breakfast, and Kai wanting something else on the TV. After I get all that taken care of Tyrell is out of the shower and I hurry and hop in because it's also grocery day. After grocery shopping and somehow getting the house clean Tyrell has to head off to his second job, and Koen is bored (this is his new things, he is always bored). I give him a list of about 10 things he could do, but none of them are good enough so finally I decide to try something I saw on Pinterest. BAD IDEA!!!! The little kids mad such a huge mess with the cloud dough (flour and baby oil) and Kael starting eating. Remember how I said I had just gotten the house clean, well now it's not clean anymore.





I had two older happy boys, who unfortunately were making a giant mess as well, and two happy to stir up trouble toddlers who were just spreading flour all over the house and their bodies. I honestly didn't know how I was going to get this mess cleaned up and dinner fixed. After the choatic clean up that left me with 4 crying kids, I managed to get dinner ready. No one ate their dinner, and then it was bath time. I didn't even get dinner cleaned up before I heard the water running upstairs (this is Kael's new thing). Kael had gone up, got in the tub, and turned on the water. This happens several times a day now because he always wants a bath and somehow he knows how to get in the bathroom. By the time bathes were done I just wanted to sit and breath for a minute, but Kael being Kael had other plans for me. He decided that it was time to stir up more trouble, and make another mess since I had just gotten the first one cleaned up. And I swear that if it's the day you vacum or mop they instinctivley know that they should ruin it. So I am sitting looking a facebook for a quick breather and moment to myself when I hear Havyn say, "kael doing". This is never a good thing so I go look and he has gotten out the full canister of oats out of the lazy Suzan and dumped the entire thing in the carpet and is spreading it out.
 

By this time I am so ready for bedtime it isn't even funny! We get that vacumed up and I put all of them to bed about 30 mins early because I just couldn't take it anymore.
