One of THOSE Days

Okay so the last two days have been THOSE days. You Mommies know the kind. The days when your kids just decide to see how far they can go. Well Coy and Job have figured out that the best time to follow through with "planned attacks" is while I am nursing. They know that feeding Elise is a time that I am a little preoccupied to say the least. Yesterday I was locked out of my house while our ninety pound German Shepherd was welcomed inside and strategically attacked with water guns. The cake topper was when the boys decided to move some of their toys from the playroom to the yard. Of course the best way to do this is out the window! While Coy is positioned in the front lawn, Job strategically tosses unwanted items out our second story playroom window. However to do this they made a makeshift ladder from chair to the top of the Bob the Builder workbench and used various "tools" to slit the window screening. When I heard Job say, "Wow the hole is almost big enough that I can get out!" I knew I better check things out. Needless to say I am glad that I infiltrated the plan before one of them became a trajectory! As both of them were sitting in time out and I am trying to hide the grin on my face, I found a positive side. Don't get me wrong I realize the danger related to their actions. It is just that I realized they were only following the direction I had given them which was to clean the playroom and work together. I now know to be more specific in my task management! Oh the lessons my children teach me daily....
