This and That

It seems as though I have not had time to do anything but the absolute must, so blogging has been on the back burner. Yes some of the hustle and bustle is my choice but not most of it. We are so busy!!!! I need to be better about documenting all the little things that happen on a daily basis. Heaven knows I wont be able to remember them down the road. Heck I can hardly remember my name. Those of you that knew Tate when he was 2 and 3 know that I couldn't sit down without finding something he had gotten into. For the most part he has since past that naughty phase and can be trusted to behave. That's not to say that he is not a million miles an hour. He expects to be able to play, ride his bike, dig in the dirt and make mud, ride his quad all before lunch. Then he has some grand ideas for the afternoon. If we don't spend all day going at mach speed he is just not fulfilled. I can handle the million miles an hour we run as long as I have a few minutes to regroup every now and then. Ty has so willingly filled Tate's 3 year old shoes. How could I have to crazy kids in a row :) On any given day she leaves major messes for me to address. I think just in the last week or so she put chocolate syrup on my bed and floor in my room, painted her nails and about half of my slate flooring in the bathroom. She has gotten into my make-up and done wonders with that. I could go on but the worst incident was for sure the entire can of spray wax she sprayed in her hair. When she came out of my bathroom I was thinking there went 12 dollars down the drain. I didn't realize it was going to take about 14 washes and 4 different types of soap or detergents to get it out. When used in moderation it washes right out but when concentrated, well I need not explain further than having to wash her hair 14 times. Can you see the clumps of white?This was after about 5 washings still sticking straight up. I guess I should be glad the product used wasn't along the lines of " Something about Mary" .
Hey at least she is cute! I am praying this stage will be short lived and I can start to relax a little. Some may think well, what in the world are you doing while she is wreaking havoc. Being a mom we are expected to accomplish alot throughout the day. She seems to know when I am the most occupied with the other kids, work, laundry, cleaning etc. etc! Its like a talent of hers to hold off until she knows she has 5 min. Than she goes in the furthest room from me and unleashes. Ok enough about Brutus and her naughty antics, yes her name around here is Brutus! Just wish me luck!
