Today I had every intention of taking the boys to the splash pad or doing something really fun or great with them. Then my day happened and I didn't manage to make it there, but I did manage to get two friends over so they could have fun. After about an hour of playing I thought to myself what was I thinking. The boys would wrestle, throw things and every few minutes one of them walked up to me crying about something. Just went I was about to give up I decided to stop worrying about cleaning the house and play with this boys I started to give them little challenges. First was eat a flaming hot Cheetos and you get a cookie. All the boys did it and loved it except Eli he cried and freaked out. Then he finally did it. They all actually liked them and asked for more! The I challenged them to lick salt everyone did it but Merrick. I challenged them to let me hold them upside down while everyone else tickled them. The last challenge was to eat a cup of mandarins with out using your hands. Oh man this was fun to watch. The Peak of my day was when I just put my focus on these sweet boys. I think because I did. Not only did they have a better experience, but I did too.
The pit of my day actually wasn't even the poop! My pit was when I got everyone dressed out the door for boot camp. I picked up my babysitter and made it to boot camp in time. Then about 10 minutes in Lilly was screaming! I would work out then hold her on my breaks. I was falling behind. I kept trying to work out but when I held Lilly to calm her one last time I realized it was time to go when she looked up at me with sheer terror and a broken heart when she thought I was passing her to the babysitter. I still have about 15lbs to loose from being prego with Lilly. I can't stand being this large and out of shape. I am just so discouraged and fear I will never loose it.
My babysitter lives right down the street from my parents. Lilly was screaming in the car so I stopped at their house so I could calm her down. While I was there my mom made the boys dinner while I feed and put Lilly down for a little nap. After I was done feeding her my mom took Lilly so I could eat. My dad was also helping Liam and just playing and talking to the boys. My parents could tell I was drained, but they just hopped in and helped. I never want to forget how they helped me. I am so thankful to have parents so close by and willing to help.
Today I had some wild boys over. I decided to channel the their energy. This was one of their challenges I made up...eat a cup of mandarins without your hands. It was hilarious.
Hey Mom look at me! I look like Chase. (My nephew Chase always has headphones in his ears or around his neck.)
