A typical day...


Today was such a typical day in this house... the kids all woke up at 7 and Ryan asked to sleep an extra half hour. I grabbed three dipes and covers, came out and changed everyone. David and Henry were signing 'eat' like crazy so I got them some cereal to tide them over and went into the kitchen to start making pancakes. Two minutes later I hear glass shattering... wonderful! The big boys had been bulling the bulbs off of the tree and Henry broke one all over my new floor!! GRR!!! I was so bummed, the bulbs aren't anything fance, $4.88 at Walmart five years ago but I was just bummed... oh well, Ryan cleaned it up and then the boys ate their breakfast at the table like big boys and Nolan had pancakes too (for the first time!). I jump in the shower, get the boys dressed and we get ready to head out the door for a play date... the boys play great for about an hour and a half and we left to Costco for lunch and to pick up a few things. They did pretty good through Costco and everyone fell asleep on the way home, YAY!! I thought I might get to rest for a short time, nope! Nolan didn't want to take a nap and David decided to only sleep for 45 minutes, grr again! Oh well, he is a little clingy but I manage to get some pictures taken and get some things listed on craigslist, the kids are getting crazy so I make them some dinner while they are whining like crazy, driving Ryan and I both insane! We feed them some dinner but they are still whining and it's only 5:15PM!!! How are we going to survive another 75 minutes... I get the genious idea to put everyone in their jammies and jump in the car and go hunting for Christmas lights, we found some great ones and the big boys seemed to really like seeing the ones we found. Ryan and I decided we will go Christmas tree hunting every Monday night in December. We get home and they seem to go down easily... nope David is FREAKING out. I go in there, put him back in, Ryan goes in there and puts him back in. I throw the diapers in the washing machine and notice their bedroom light is on! They are in their playing so I put them back in their cribs and they start freaking out again and then I guess gave up and went to sleep suddenly... I'm ready to pass out and it is only 7:22PM!!
