Sunday evening George was gone during bedtime (meetings, ugh!). Sawyer dirtied his drawers (gross! he's never done that before) then wasted an entire roll of toilet paper and then to top it off he slammed (and then held) Jack's fingers in the door. This all happened in about a 15 min period.
Then on Tuesday night I was a single parent again (George is working nights). I was trying to do something that needed done (what, I actually have to do 'other' stuff besides be mommy?!) I put the boys in bed (and kept putting them back in bed for about 20 mins). Finally I thought they were done playing games so I went to my room to get the stuff done. I thought I heard something after a while so I went to check on them. They were both in the bathroom throwing all their bath toys in the toilet. Ugh. I've learned that it's better to not even try to get anything done, then I can avoid frustration!
Then on Wednesday I had one of the sweetest evenings with them. We read and snuggles and then I tucked them in their beds and sang to them for a half hour until they drifted off to sleep. It was so peaceful. Being their mom tests my patience and is so rewarding all at the same time. I love that I get to stay home with my boys. We get to spend so much time together and teach each other all about life :)
Brothers!
