Well it is never ending with Taylor. He got the idea (from his brother) to climb the fence and go to his friends house. Wyatt came in and asked me if he could go over there because he knew they could play because Taylor climbed over the fence and asked them. I asked where Taylor was and he said over at their house. I asked Wyatt if he told Taylor to do it and he replied no. I walked outside and could see Taylor down the street. I called him over and told him to get in the house. He said "Well Wyatt told me too." I looked at Wyatt and he said "oh ya I forgot." I told their friends not to bother coming over for at least 3 days that they were grounded and told the boys to get in the house. I made them sit on the couch and told them that they were in huge trouble. They can not play for 3 days are no longer aloud outside by themselves and I made Wyatt throw away his power Ranger helmet that cost me 50 bucks and Taylor his track hoe. Wyatt also had to sit in his room ON his bed for 45 min. and Taylor had to sit in on the toilet for 45 min. I hope I got my point acrossed. I just don't know what to do any more.
Ryan cut his finger. He thought it was the end of the world. It was so sad but so very funny how much he over reacted. He kept saying "hurt real bad mommy". I put peroxide on it and now he shows me his finger and says it needs bubbles cuz it hurts.
Ryan's birthday was on Saturday. We had the family come up on Sunday for a dinner and cake. Well I was going make the cake but Ryan saw the sponge bob cake at Albertsons and really wanted one so I decided to order it. BAD IDEA! It was twice the money that Sam's charges and it was horrible. No one liked it. So I am going to return it. It was very cute though.
Ryan thought opening his presents was so much fun. It was very cute to watch. He was very excited to open this box because it had a spider man shirt inside.
I cut Wyatt and Taylor's hair with the clippers quite regularly. We did it this week and I think they look so cute. But I have never been able to bring my self to do it to Ryan. I just love his shaggy hair. But Jerry doesn't like it. He thinks Ryan looks like a girl. So the night we did Wyatt and Taylor's hair I was hiding Ryan from Jerry.
After Jerry got started he thought about a Mohawk for Wyatt. It looked pretty cute would have kept it if he hadn't made it so crooked.
When I mop my floors I put up the kids chairs on the couch. Well Taylor climbed up there and said "I am King" I didn't really understand what he was saying so I just said OK. He then points his hand out and says "Destroy the City!" I started laughing and asked what he was doing he then informed me that that's what kings said "Destroy the City." Where do kids come up with this stuff? I had to get a pic. of him sitting up there Wyatt looks so said cuz Tay wouldn't let him by him for the pic.
The boys went outside to play and I heard the hose turn on. I went down stairs and turned off the water so they could not play with it. A little while later I heard the water turn on again. They had snuck in the house and turned it back on! I looked outside and this is what I saw.
Taylor has mud on his butt and on the back of his head but I could not get a picture of it.
Before they could come in the house I made them spray off with the hose. They did not like that at all but there was no way they were coming in like that.
We enjoyed this warm weather this weekend. We went outside and planted our peas and carrots. Ryan wanted to help too, it was hard to tell him that nerds would not grow.
Yesterday morning started with a bang, well a crash really. Wyatt was climbing down from his bed and his hands slipped and he fell threw the window. Luckily his hand grabbed the bed post and was able to pull out of the window to safety. I have never seen Taylor upset by worrying about some one else but this really scared him. He has tears coming down his face and kept asking if Wyatt was going to be alright. It was very sweet.
His back was cut up so we decided to take him to the hospital. He did not need stitches. And the doctor said he was so lucky it was not way worse. And he also said his son did the same thing , how weird is that.
Ryan thought the hospital was fun. Wyatt didn't think that so much.
Friday night we had Nicla and the girls out. It was so much fun. The kids played outside and then watched a movie. We watched a movie and played games. Wyatt and Shayla compared scars. Wyatt's is still really red.
They watched a movie in my room and ate popcorn.
Brandon also came out that night. It is always fun to have him at the house the kids just love him. And think his new bike is so cool.
We have a really hard time getting Taylor to lay down and go to sleep. We have tried everything we can think of to get him to sleep. Well last night I promised them that if they laid down and went to sleep without getting up once I would take them all on a walk. Nobody got out of bed. The next morning I told them to wait till after lunch by then it was raining/snowing. I got them all bundled up and their umbrellas out. I was thinking that a quick walk around the block and we would be home. Well Wyatt asks me if he can show me where the school bus used to pick up one of his friends. I knew the bus picked up someone on the street above ours so I said sure. He was so excited! We get up to the street above ours and I go to turn and he says "NO mom we have to go straight." So I get the kids hands and go across the street he leads us past two more and I ask how far do we have to go? "Up to the light and then we turn that way(right)." Well that was all the way up to Harrison and I didn't want to go that far so I asked if we could go another day and his poor little face fell and he said No. I told him his brothers were tired, so he couched them up the hill. When we got to the light and across the street he started forward and I was wondering what had I agreed to? I told him if we didn't pass it by the next street we were turning down and heading home both Ryan and Taylor were starting to complain a lot now. Well he knew exactly where we were going and showed me a day care that they would pick up one of the kids from. He was so proud of himself. And we had a lot of fun in the rain. It was such a great trip for all of us. It is nice to remember that even in the rain you can have fun outside.
OK, why is it no matter how much you clean the house is always dirty? This pile of dirt is one day at my house. I sweep everyday and this is what I get. How can this much crap pile up everyday in just two rooms? I look at this and think how did I handle dog hair along with this? I have decided that Wyatt's job will be to use his little vacuum and do the floors midday. Taylor really wants a vacuum too maybe for his birthday we will get him one to help with cleaning, I have to say it was one of the smartest gifts we got Wyatt.
We have had a lot of fun with our new cat. He is very sweet and loves to play. I think he is tortured by the kids but he seems to like it. If they go outside he has to go out too. He will sit at the door and howl. So we got him a harness on clearance. He seems to like it.
The kids decided to try and trap the cat here is their trap. It didn't work to well but it was funny.
Ryan has been falling asleep in different ways lately. I guess he needs more sleep. What do you think?
They love to hide under the bed and laugh. They think it is so funny.
