In to everything

The twins notice everything. They notice if Charlie leaves the bathroom door open. They notice if there is a drink a little too close to the edge of the counter. They notice if the gate didn't close to the laundry room. They notice if Charlie does something he isn't supposed to do, even if it is only once, and even if he gets in trouble for it. They notice that it looks like fun and they should try it too!

Whew
They also notice when Henry needs a pacifier. They notice when Charlie needs Turtle. They notice when Momma has had a bad day and needs a good laugh. They notice when daddy needs a helping hand. They notice when the other doesn't have his drink, his pacifier, his blanket and respond in a rapid fashion.
I grow prouder of my family every day!

Are ya'll ready for a nap yet?

So this morning I took William to the doctor for really bad diaper rash which I was suspecting was actually a bacterial rash run amuck. I was right. But no relief ... doctor's orders to just keep doing what I have been doing. I pick up a ball for Will at the drugstore. So then I get home, make lunch, clean up lunch. The kids get into a fight about the ball cause Charlie won't share and instead is trying to knock them over by hurling it at their chubby little bellies and justifies his actions by saying "I'm just teaching them how to throw." So I take away the ball and decide it is lunch time.
Today will be corn dogs and watermelon. I give the twins the corn dog on the stick just to see what they do with it. Well, they proceeded to sword fight with them. So when I take it off the stick neither one of them has any interest in eating it now. So watermelon and crackers it is. Add a chocolate covered cream puff as a special treat for desert and it's a royal disaster.
After cleaning up the highchair, the wall, the floor, and stripping their clothes off, it is now time to get Henry ready to go to the Health Department to get his 2 months shots. He gets three and he cries and cries. So naturally I want to cry too.
I get back home just in time to hear Richard waking up from his nap. Josh says "you're just in time."
Charlie has turned into Ichabod Crane and isn't going to wake up from his nap any time soon.
I think that I will send an invoice for some free-lance work that I've done so that I can get some money in the bank.  I open up Pandora on my smartphone and let it play to entertain the twins. Richard is walking around with it like we used to walk around with our boomboxes.
But wait I smell something stinky. It's Will and in order to give his butt a break, I think that I will just dip him into the bath tub. So I open the bathroom door and reach to turn on the water. Never noticing that the soothing melody of a Jack Johnson song was following me step for step.
"Kerplunk." Now Jack Johnson's voice was a mumbled tune from my toilet. "Oh no .... Riiiichard!"
Amazingly enough I didn't shout out any expletives as I tossed Will back out in the hall and grabbed my sinking phone. Jack Johnson was still singing. I tried to turn the stupid thing off but the menu wouldn't pop up so I had to rip it apart and jerk out the battery all the time listening to Jack Johnson sing what I think was Better Together. Success finally. So I wiped it off and handed it off to my husband and asked him to make it better.
Now back to Will's butt. As I'm walking back to the hall the twins have retreated to their room. And all I hear next is a big ol' smack against the hardwood as Will does a slip-n-slide move across his floor. Apparently Richard had confiscated my Lemon Slush from Sonic as I was dealing with the phone catastrophe and had now dumped it in the middle of his floor. They both grabbed up lemons popped them in their mouths and took off running like little imps.
Charlie was still sleeping, thank God for the little things right?
