Tuesday the boys headed back to school. They BOTH woke up GRUMPY as all get out. They BOTH wet their pants at school...now I knew we were setting up for a historic day. We had swimming lessons again, and given how the rest of the day was going, I wasn't surprised that Carson cried the whole time saying it was making him too sleepy, hungry etc. Parker did great and actually got promoted for a short time:) He got moved back with the little kids because he couldn't (or was it wouldn't ?) hang on to the wall the whole time:( Later, Parker took his turn....I asked him to share his bike with one of the neighbor kids...he ignored me...and tried to go back across the street. I removed him from the bike and told him to walk back across the street and sit on the porch. He screamed and cried like crazy for several minutes. I'm trying to ignore him until I look over and he's ripping the flowers out of the flower pot on our front porch and throwing them on the ground....really?!? I'm beginning to wonder, will we make it through the 3s???
Swimming Lessons:)
The rest of the week was filled with 3 year old boy stuff...playing in the sprinkler, "washing" the car and mailbox with a paintbrush and a paint roller....and water...ha, I got your attention, huh?? This week was rough...and I started a new parenting technique...taking toys and putting them on top of the fridge....yea, it's been working wonderfully....I have so many toys I had to take them off the top of the fridge and put them in a rubbermaid container. CLEARLY I need different techniques to contain 3 year old twins and get them to follow directions and play nicely together....oh, and whining, when does it stooooooooppppppppppp?!?!?!?!
Fun in the Sprinkler!
I'm done with the sprinkler....this hose is in my way!!
A cute little note from the "week of terror".... One afternoon, it was thundering and threatening rain. The boys wanted to go outside and play, but I told them they should take a nap and maybe when they woke up it would be finished raining. Carson was walking around the house with a pencil and a dice popper, pointing them out the window yelling, "STOP raining!!, Don't rain!!" Finally, he said, "I'ma take a nap, but Mama, I'm gonna change the weather when I wake up!" Yea, good luck with that James Spann.
Sunday we had the 4th of July Celebration and children's parade....it's supposed to be a "wagon" parade, but the boys decided that they were too big to ride in a wagon. Carson wanted to ride in his Cozy Coupe and Parker wanted his trike (you know, the one that he STILL can't reach the pedals because he's such a peanut, so he pushes with his feet instead). We stopped by the dollar store and picked up some decorations...and while Brad and the boys napped (Brad NEVER naps, which is what makes it blog worthy)....I decorated the vehicles and when everyone woke up, we were off to church. We had a great time and the boys had a blast....their buds Sarah and Harrison kept up with them most of the night- even taking them to the bathroom for us! They even liked the fireworks this year! Parker named colors and said, "WOW!" the whole time , while Carson said, "The princess is dying in that big puff of smoke!" It was by far the best fireworks show I've seen in a while! Here are some pictures from the night...
Brownies and cookies on the same plate!!
Flirting with Sarah
Parade!
Waiting on the Fireworks!
Monday starts much like last week....apparently my sweet boys like Mondays:) I got more hugs and kisses today than I got all last week. I think it was a set up though....early afternoon I'm eating lunch and watching TV while the boys were down for a nap. Brad walks in the door. My greeting to him was, "Where are you going and when are you leaving?" His response, "Back to Macon, leaving tonight." Whatever....we got him for almost a whole extra day this week....WOW.
