I've been spending a lot of time on the computer, working on the video for the 7 Young Women in our ward who are graduating. They are doing a spotlight on each of the girls on Sunday as they transition them into RS, and I get to do the video spotlight portion of the meeting. It is a lot of fun, and I enjoy doing it. But I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this, so I've been spending a little too much time on it... Anyway, Megan comes to me and says, "Mom, you won't believe what the boys are doing... it is very very bad!" I'll let the pictures do the talking...

So, as you can see, I went to the kitchen to find that the applesauce jar that was previously 4/5 full, had now been emptied all over the counter, the boys, the wall, (even some on my clock!), the bar stools, and the floor. I tried very hard to remain calm, and then decided to take some pictures and make it a memorable moment. As I started taking pictures of the boys, Seth's skin was getting irritated (he has eczema/sensitive skin), so that is why he is crying in the picture. Zack just kept on eating the applesauce, even once he had been caught. As I stripped them down, Aaron started the bath tub for me, and I sprayed them down in the tub. I let them stay in there, thinking they would be contained, while I cleaned up the mess. I also called to see when "reinforcements" (aka: Daddy) would be in, but found out he was detained at a local Man Store (aka: Lowes) and ETA was 20 more minutes at minimum. So I cleaned up that big mess, and then went upstairs to get the boys out and found the bathroom floor was soaked with water. At this point, it was no longer funny and I couldn't muster any amount of positive attitude to continue on with the "memorable moment" in a cheerful way.... I won't go into anymore details, but will say the evening did include some toothpaste on pillowcases, courtesy of Zack. I don't know what is up with that boy... he is most often so easy going, and lovable, and well behaved. I guess I need to be giving him more positive attention. So there is my effort at trying to "make the best out of the situation."
3 peeps sharin the love!:
This is hilarious! I love how you turned it into a "crime scene" very funny!
I don't know HOW you do it... I've only ever had Corissa and just thinking of being a mom to more than one is a bit overwhelming to me. I always admire you moms who are worn to the bone with the joys of motherhood. :-)

So funny! Boys will be boys! Matthew's latest thing is to play in the toilet, he's done it 3 times so far and it drives me crazy! He is quiet & sneak about it too! Jim & I love that you are doing a blog we feel closer to you already :)
Cathy! I had to bring Chris in to look at this. Very funny! "Zach just kept on eating..." hahaha
One time Kira wanted to make Jello, but I was busy... She made it with 16 eggs and a green Jello packet. She had so much fun that she started to smear the cabinets. It permanently stained the cabinets green. Instead of getting angry, I pulled out the video camera! It is such a funny video now. I am glad you took pictures! Great story, great blog. Love the new look.
