Well, for a Monday, today was just great. The boys seem to have adjusted to the absence of Zach. They seem, however, to be getting bored and I am running out of ideas to keep them hopping. They like to cut and glue, and staple (not such a great idea for Caleb) and stamp and use glitter and tape and...you get the idea.
But when it comes to cleaning up these masterpieces, it takes some coaxing at times. But even when the clean-up becomes a game, the fun soon wears off. It seems that with the rising temperature outside, their attention span is decreasing.
The things that hold their attention are the things that can get them into serious trouble...like hitting golf balls, from daddy's friend's bag which was in the garage (where the boys are NOT supposed to be), onto the roof. OR making a new national lake in the back yard. OR giving the little car belonging to Baby Girl a good washing with a hose (while Baby Girl is riding in it!) OR carrying water from the kitchen sink to the patio with splashes all over the carpet and tile...
OR throwing toys over one wall to the neighbor kids and rocks over the other to see if there is a splash in the neighbor's pool. (I DO think we have THAT one finally conquered.)
Ty has a black eye from the party yesterday. It was the trampoline. There IS a reason why it says to jump "one at a time".
Caleb has a cut foot from today. Couldn't find his shoes. There IS a reason why Grandma said not to go outside without them! But, for a MONDAY...it was pretty good!
