GUYS!! I need to share our morning yesterday! For all you other parents, hopefully this will help to reassure you that you are not the only one this stuff happens to! For everyone else, here's just some brutal honesty about what really goes on sometimes that will hopefully provide a laugh!
So....
I had been eating some chex cereal in the living room the night before, I had some left from making puppy chow over Christmas and was owning a weak moment! Yesterday morning we were all being lazy and watching some tv and before I knew it, Monte had found the cereal, pulled the bag out, and was generously sharing with Kit and creating a nice pile on the couch! Seriously?! At least it wasn't sugary cereal...
So I get that semi cleaned up and headed into the kitchen to make breakfast. I got the oatmeal out, set it on the counter, then went to the bathroom. I came back to find oatmeal ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!! And the boys both munching down on dry oatmeal! I was planning on making oatmeal for all three of us but after this I barely had enough to feed both of them.
At least Monte owned up to making a mess!
So I get that mostly swept up, and get what oatmeal is left cooking, and go into the dining room to find that Monte has opened the wrapping paper tub and has all the tubes out and they are in the process of unrolling all of them. I get frustrated and get all the wrapping paper back in the tub and head back into the kitchen to get the oatmeal ready. TWO MINUTES later I walk back into the office to get the boys and discover this!!
They had knocked/pulled our small tree over and Monte was using scissors to cut off small branches. How did I not hear the tree fall over?! I was ten feet away! I quickly got the lights unplugged in case he accidentally cut a wire instead of a branch. This had all happened in like a 15 minute period! At this point I just had to laugh!
Blaming Kit for this one! I have no idea who actually did it! Somewhere in the middle of this, I texted my mom and mother in law and demanded that they come get their grandchildren! They both found my situation quite hilarious!
Since I'm just being real here, I just show yall everything, including how messy their room is! After I got them fed and ya know trapped in chairs so they couldn't destroy anything else, I headed into Monte's room to change Kit. This is what I walked into... A diaper road! At least Monte's mess was sorta organized... Kit's on the other hand was not. All the stuff on the floor is their dirty clothes and clean socks and underwear that Kit had completely emptied out of the bins they belong in... I may need to do some reorganizing because this is not the first time he has done this...
So I undress Kit and put him on Monte's bed while I go into his closet to find him some clothes. Out of the corner of my eye I see a naked little hiney streak past me heading toward the dining room! He's kinda between sizes, 3s are too small but 4s are still a little big, so I guess as he slid off the bed, he wiggled out of his diaper! I started to go after him but then thought, "nah it'll just take two seconds to find his clothes, surely nothing will happen in that time...." Famous last words right?! Next I hear Monte yelling from the table, "Mama, Kit go poopoo!!" Seriously?! So fortunately he BARELY went a tiny bit on the wood floor but still! It was just the cherry on top of a string of unfortunate events sundae!!
Here is what I have learned from yesterday morning.... my children NEED THE OUTSIDE!! They apparently go crazy if they don't get good outside time! It had been cold and kinda rainy off and on the couple days before and I had just not made the effort to get them outside. I quickly righted my wrong, got them all bundled up, and kicked them outside!! I think they were as happy as I was! Monte immediately wanted to ride his new "motorcycle" and Kit basically just followed along....
Monte also got to try out his new gloves from Annie and Grandad!
He was super excited about them!
So there ya have it! Our crazy Saturday morning!
