In the last 36…

Wade left for Dubai less than 48 hours ago. In that less than 48 Bode has: 

1. Found the Vaseline jar and greased himself up to the knees and elbows simultaneously ruining his shirt and turning my bathroom floor into a slip and slide.
2. Colored all over my wood floors with black crayon.
3. Stuck both hands in the (gratefully, cool) exhaust pipe, re-greasing and blackening himself up to his elbows and simultaneously ruining another shirt.
And 4. Just moments ago, crapped his pants (and his bed) requiring a bath, new bedding, new jammies, and new stuffed animals.

He did not one of these things in the 28 days Wade was home all day in between jobs.

AND in Tessa’s prayer tonight, she thanked Heavenly Father for her mom NOT being nice and told him she would not be her mom’s friend anymore and also warned him that if her mom was not nice, she would kick her.

It’s comical, right? Tell me it’s comical.

Well I sure got a laugh out of it but you might have to sleep on it. Just be sure to take a look at your beautiful children after they fall asleep. Sometimes that helps. But yes, it was comical.

Oh sis, that is so hard. If it makes you feel any better. may tells me quite often that she doesn't like me and that she will like it when I go to work. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Little stinkers! Sorry bout that. Yes, one day you will laugh about this...probably when they are having the same problems with their own darling children.

Yes, it's comical. I would happily trade the dirt and poop stage for the jump off the barn ruin the knee, wreck the car stage. Boys are busy, but you'll have a good crush on him his whole life.

Oh, it's comical from here but I'm glad it's not me. That sounds so hard. That's pretty incredible timing. Being such an extreme stinker right when your backup leaves. Awesome.

they are just breaking you in so you're fully prepared for the next few weeks. just send them to me, they can join the circus at my house.

Comical for sure...IF your not the Mom! Welcome to boys. Oh the joys.

And Tessa, she has more sass in her big toe than most have in their whole body! Maybe that is why I just like her so much!

Oh Katelyn, when you are ready for a break, give me a call.

I always know when to plan on all my kids getting the stomach flu, it's whenever Mark is going to be out of town for a few days in a row and I've got some big party or dinner or something going on that I'm in charge of. At least it's predictable, right?

Tessa KILLS me.
