Okay. So I know it's been a long time, but here are a few snapshots of what's been going on lately:
Caleb pooped in the potty...Once. Long story short, John was at a deacons meeting, Caleb decided he wanted a new toy, Ethan persuaded him, and after about 30 minutes of screaming and whining and sitting on the little potty IN THE LIVING ROOM, he woke Linley up due to the fit, I went and dealt with her and that is when he did it. Needless to say, John took both boys to Wal-Mart at 8:30 that night for a poop-toy. It is now hidden since Caleb only pooped in the potty that one time.
Linley is a messer, much like me. The boys weren't like this. I'm cooking dinner and she usually is only a few feet away from me. I'm cooking chili. I turn around and what is she doing? Slinging around in her hands the dirty meat wrapper that had the ground beef in it. Yes, I screamed, she cried, and we sanitized.
The boys have decided that Linley is so much fun. For instance: she gets on her pink motorcycle and they can push her around on the hardwood. She flies everywhere. The corners are what make it so cool. She slides all over the place like Lightening McQueen. She loves it, they love it, until one push too hard and off she goes. I did get a videotape of this but I was about 30 seconds shy of an AFV award.
Today was a messy day. I now know how to make polka dotted sheets. It's easy...wash bed linens, preferrably white ones, with a blue marker hidden inside the boys sheets. Then dry. Poof, out of the dryer comes polka dotted/tie-dyed sheets. Not to mention a blue dryer. Did I mention that the reason for my washing our sheets was the fact that Caleb dumped his milk on them?
Made Mrs. Jeanne's bday cake tonight. Ethan is my big helper. Halfway through and I go to put in the oil. Oh wait, I'm about 1 1/4 cups shy. So he and I jet down to Save-A-Lot. We get back, wash our hands, and get back to it. Adding the oil when something falls off the cabinet. I finish pouring the cup of oil when I look to see what fell: brand new container of oil that we just measured out of, spilling all over the kitchen floor. Let me tell you, trying to clean up vegetable oil is no easy task. It just smears everywhere and then you just have to mop anyway. But it did the trick.
