Kids, Kids. Kids

Do you ever have days where your kids make you nuts but at the same time you are laughing your head off? We had one of those days yesterday...

Kate and Hayden were locked in a cage and loved it. (Okay, it wasn't a cage, but it looks like it doesn't it?) Hayden is so good to share his things with Kate. She swiped his binkie, and he just sat there and watched her with a proud look on his face. So sweet.

And Kate was so proud of herself. Hayden wasn't too upset either. Obviously!

Then later in the afternoon, Hayden was throwing a little fit.

You know, we have to have a few of those per day.

So this was a crazy moment. But then...

I told him to drink his soda and be quiet. I thought it was funny because it worked. He really was happy, but he had a huge tear still running down his cheek. Funny boy! And, yes, I know I am a bad mom to shove soda at my son to get him to settle down. But, oh well.










And then Rylee decided it would be funny to shove the little toy shot needle thing up her nose and let it hang. She had a long day at school and was super silly last night after her long day. I love it when she gets in these moods.

Lana tried sitting on a punch balloon just to see what would happen. Apparently those things are made of steel. I would have loved it if the thing would have popped. But no such luck.

Then Hayden tried to sit on the punch balloon as well. It took him a while to sit on it. He would back up against it and it would roll away. He ended up backing in circles around the room about three times before he finally caught the thing and sat on it. Then he bounced on it. Again, I wanted it to pop just to see the reaction, but either the balloon is made of steel or he is just a lightweight.

I tried getting the kids to bed, but after we put the girls in bed Hayden grabbed a sucker instead of snuggling like he was supposed to. So we put him on the bed with Kate, and again, she wanted what he had. And again, he is such a nice brother to share with her.

Two bright-eyed mischief makers. Kate wanted more sucker and I was telling Hayden to get down and throw away his sucker stick so we could get him to bed. (After the second round of teeth brushing, of course) What a fun day we had!
