Cleaning and Carrying On...

Whew! Crazy day! After the excitement of yesterday, we stayed inside most of the day to get caught up on all of the housework we didn't do yesterday. The boys had fun entertaining themselves this morning. I bought some swim goggles to go into our store and the Knight wanted to put them on. I got a picture of him wearing them for all of the 5 seconds that lasted. The Prince was actually being nice to the Knight this morning and wanted to snuggle with him on the couch. It was one of those "awe" moments and since I had my camera ready, I got that one too. I tell ya, I am on a roll. The rest of the morning was pretty boring and consisted of my doing laundry and chasing the boys. DadOf3 came home for lunch so we headed outside to play. It was another gorgeous day - 80 degrees and sunny. While theboys napped, I worked on an end of the year gift for the Princess's teacher. I have been collecting pictures all year and I am putting them into a scrapbook for her. It does not take that much time and it seems like a good end of the year thing to do. After 2 hours of doing that, it was time to pick up the Princess at the bus stop. My oh my was she a crab cake this afternoon! For the first hour she was home, I could do nothing right, so I went back to working on the scrapbook until she decided to be nice again. I found a picture from Christmas that shows the look that she gave me this afternoon so I had to include it. The boys woke up around 4:00 and, after the initial craziness of getting snacks, the boys settled down to watch a show while The Princess wrote me a letter. I was very proud of her. She wrote it without any help form me. I could read exactly what she was saying. I am keeping this letter! Everything went pretty well until about 5 minutes before DadOf3 came home. Then, the Prince decided that it would be a good idea to drop a toy truck on the Knight's head. Ahhhh! After wiping a bloody lip and giving the Prince a time-out, I was more than ready for DadOf3 to come home. It was date night tonight so I didn't even have to cook supper. I am so glad that it is bedtime for the kids though. It just may be bedtime for me too!
