Boys will be...

Boys, if you don't have one, or have one on the way then you should read this!

Today was one of those days you wish would hurry up and end because things keep happening left and right. I have tons of laundry to catch up on, this happens kinda often though. There I was in the floor with 6 baskets of clothes dumped out, sorting and folding them. A couple felt damp so I did what any other mom would do (I think) and sniffed it... Now I have been known to forget about a load in the washer and have to rewash it so I thought maybe I had put some in the dryer by mistake or it got caught in the dryer and didn't finish drying all the way and was shoved in a basket or.. something.. So I tossed it aside to be washed again and kept going because the other clothes smelled fine. Until, I ran across about 5 more things like this. I didn't have time to think about so I kept folding.

Then, it hit me.

Ty must have peed in a basket! He has been going diaperless at night also now for a few weeks. So it had to have been him because it did smell like pee. They were all together in the floor with the pee clothes.

Now, he is in that stage where he thinks he has a permanently attached toy...
Just this week he was standing at the large window in the living room staring out at the birds when all of a sudden he went running. I figured he was headed to the potty. What did I hear next? The unmistakable sound of pee hitting a carpet. He went out of my view behind the couch (it's on the way to the bathroom), stopped out of my site, whipped it out and let it go. He knew what he was doing. I caught him in the act.

On a funny note though we also went outside that day even though it was muddy out because I had to get some fall clothes out of the storage shed. Ty and Alyssa both had fun with slugs, not tiny little almost cute slugs but big fat super slimy slugs. Ty held his the whole time we were outside and wanted to slide with it. Out popped the slug from his hand as he climbed the top and it tumbled down the slide leaving a trail where it hit. He was devastated lol. The kids were a huge mess of mud from jumping in puddles but they did have fun.

Disaster is my kids' middle name

How many days has it been since the last 'disaster'? Not that many but now I have a new one for you to laugh about. 2 words... ready?




Baby Powder



Yup.. lot of kids have done it... I even did is as a child so I have been told (on carpet and in a small room with a HUGE container.. the room was white). Luckily this one wasn't that big but still. It is everywhere.. and they are white haired.. I didn't get a picture... you probably can picture it anyways. I don't even use the stuff. They just found it somewhere.

You know, I've always said I wanted as many kids as God wanted to bring my way.. and if He didn't plan for me to have any more then He would have to change my heart... is He trying to change it, or just testing me!? I have to laugh.. and usually I do.. after I stop being mad.

Is it only MY kids that do things like this?

Come on moms tell me I'm not alone...
I had just put one tired 2.5 yo down for a nap, put a movie in for my nearly 4yo and thought my 8mo would go fast to sleep since she had a big lunch.. but of course you can't plan motherhood right? I was watching some Desperate Housewives on my computer with earphones (I just discovered this show... and am shamefully hooked) when I started smelling something..... and I turn to find this.

If you are wondering if she ate some... then the answer is yes. How did this happen? Well, it seams that I have kids that know how to take their diapers off at a young age.. and not only that yes they have to play with it. Some of my family members have been pushing disposable diapers... and I didn't put her pants back on.. so this is what I get. NO more sposies! and always keep the woolies on and double tied.. go ahead.. laugh.. you might as well because I know you are! I was also bitten for trying to clean her mouth out... and it drew blood.

Oh and one more thing, don't tell Ty that his toothbrush disappeared because Mommy had to brush Kailey's teeth with it... because he'll get to pick out a brand new one on pay day.
