Sometimes I wish I could melt into the walls




Jonas likes to get up really early. Early meaning anywhere between 5-6am. Its fun. Not really. Sometimes Aaron and I are just way too tired and Jonas will entertain himself with TV. Yesterday he decided to treat himself with some apple juice. I guess at one point it became more exciting to just dump that juice all over the floor. Every inch of the kitchen. All the way down the hallway. Ending with a big puddle right in front of the front door. I didn't come across this until it had sat for a little bit because when I went to wipe it up the towel just stuck to floor. It took a few moppings to get it all up and im still finding some sticky spots.

While trying to get the girls ready for school while trying to get sticky off the floor Jonas and Noah found some markers. All I could do was say "really?!?!" and move on with my day.

Next was take Abby and the boys to Abby's doctor appt to get her cast off. While there the "joys of boys" just got better. Jonas just couldn't sit still. Go figure. He would promise to be a good boy then take the doctors chair and get on it laying on his belly and fly it across the room like superman.

Oh wait, did I mention we were not in a private room like at the usual doctors office? This doctor just has a large room in the back called the "broken bone club". Along all the walls are beds and chairs and everyone just hangs out in this same room watching each other get casts taken off and put on. So we were among a few strangers.

I tried threatening, bribing, holding both crazy boys on my lap for make-shift "time-out's". They didn't care. Jonas then stood in the very center of the room, legs apart, arms up in the air, paused, then stuck one hand down the front of his pants, then did this very weird dance. I hurried to grab Noah from crawling under a chair and tried to grab Jonas. He saw me coming after him to put an end to his hand down the pants dance and took off running. I was holding a struggling to get down baby while chasing my very fast little boy apologizing to everyone as we ran down the hall all the way around to the front desk. Where he ran into the area where they keep all the files and hid. Very embarrassing!!

We finally were ready to leave and while at the desk again making an appointment for Abby and talking to a nurse about physical therapy Jonas found his way to the printer. taking everything off as it was printed and handing it to the other nurses in the office. Awesome. I had to take the papers. Apologize again for the billionth time. And ran out of the office as fast as we could.

It was the same craziness at lunch and after stopping a mandarin orange throwing fight between the boys it was time for naps. Even for a boy that doesn't take naps.

Not by best moment.

I had to chuckle. It is nice to know that boys are boys...and I'm not the only one who has them. :)
