Staying busy

My peak of my day was at the end of the day. I was trying to put Lilly down and the boys kept coming in and waking her up just was I was about to put her in her crib. Finally I had to just lay her down for a second because I knew she just needed to cry a bit. I told the boys they needed to stop coming in because the longer it took me to put her to bed the less time we had to play our game together. I went in my bedroom to do something for a second and I hear Eli Singing rock a by baby. I figured they were in there keeping her up. A few seconds later Eli walks in and says I did it mom I did it. I put Lilly to sleep! He said he stood out side her door and sang until she stopped crying. He did actually do it she didn't cry anymore and was asleep. I often wonder why I am so lucky that I can discipline my little boys (honestly probably shouldn't have even done it) and they go and do something so sweet like that.

My pit was probably just loosing my temper with the boys. I have noticed lately that I am shorter with them. I wonder if I do it because I feel like they are older and should know better by now or if I am just grumpy. Whatever it is...it isn't okay. I hate that I do that to them. They are wonderful children and every second of everyday is better because of them and when I yell at them I am not teaching them that.

I never want to forget the funny things the boys did today. They get together and play these super hero fight the bad guy, good guys verse the bad guys like all day long. Tonight the toy room was all picked up and Liam walks into Lilly's room where Eli is watching me get Lilly ready for bed. He starts talking and talking and telling this really elaborate story and then at the end looks at Eli and says, "Remember that game Eli. Remember it? Lets go play it?" Eli looked straight at me like that the heck and said to Liam, "Heck no?" To which Liam replied, "Heck Yes!" This went on a for a few minutes. I died!
Liam feel asleep on a book and Eli fell asleep on Marley. Totally normal...for our house.
My attempt at keeping the TV off..I froze some of the boys and Lilly's toys in ice. I told the boys that the bad man took them prisonor and they could only save them with their water guns.

Super Hero Eli and Super hero Liam to the rescue. Lilly not really the best place to decide to stop.
