Thank Goodness it’s Friday

I woke up this morning thinking Thank Goodness It's Friday; we made it through our second week of school! Weekend – easy sailing! If the weekend is anything like this morning holy help me batman! I think I have things SO under control. The boys are all ok about getting up, none of them throw TOO big of a fuss about the clothes they are to wear. Ben even decides he can probably tolerate his socks for the day and his shoes aren't even that tight. WOW – the morning is made… WRONG… I so happily ship them off with Russell and smile as I make my way back into the house for a relaxing shower. I shower, washed my hair and get my run around clothes on when I hear Jack. I really thought I would be able to dry my hair as well but – oh well – I guess I can survive. That is what I think anyway until I begin walking up the stairs talking to him and he talks back, "POO POO – caca (a favorite thing he says that his Nena taught him)". As I get closer I can smell that he is telling the truth. "Jack you smell lets go change your diaper", "diaper bye-bye". I quickly look at him and no kidding his diaper really is gone. There is poop everywhere – he is asking for me to get him out and telling me "hands dirty" at the same time. SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT – what am I going to do now – poop is not my thing and RR has already left for work… I have NO wipies upstairs so hummmm – toilet paper. I wipe him down as best I can, run a bath and gingerly throw him in. 30 minutes later and life is good again. Did I mention the twins were being knighted into "Kindergarten Kingdom" again today? Did I mention ALL parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and dogs are invited to this so you must get there early? My hair has half dried by itself looking much like Mr. Fluffy Pants the chicken – Jack decides to tear apart EVERYTHING and I have to be SITTING in the church in 45 minutes… Thank goodness for family, Lovie dear came quickly and we did make it before the knighting started. I missed the little looks on their faces when they saw their capes for the first time and I was in the very back pew but I did make it for their 35 seconds of greatness being KNIGHTED into kindergarten kingdom by a King and a jester that totally looked wrong for the part but I made it none the less and the boys were ecstatic. I think they honestly were happier about getting to go eat lunch and take their friend with them than the whole school issue which had been a major ordeal for me for the 2^nd year in a row.

My Kings

All my hard work - have you ever had to make a king's mantle from a bath towel?

The Kings number one fan - can't forget Britty -

 Oh well – Once again, it's over smooth sailing right? Lovie and I take the 5 boys to must be heaven – how bad could they be? They were bribed with ice cream?!? Never underestimate the power of boys – boys will be boys no matter how much ice cream they are promised. Actually they were OK until they saw a little girl from their class. Poor Grant must be a little bit smitten with her because the others started giggling and it got worse from there. They soon moved on to threatening to tell her that she was Grant's girlfriend. We all know Scrappy – that was not a good thing. He came after them. We had a boxing arena set up right in the middle of Must Be Heaven! Good Gravy do you think the weekend will get better for me or do you think I should just resign myself to the fact this is what my life is for the next 18 years? By the way if that is your opinion please keep it to yourself – I can only take so much!!! We are heading to the Brenham Cub game tonight so wish us luck (and I don't mean the team)…..
