A day in the life.....

I am going to give you a rare glimpse into a normal day here at Chez Chaos. It is not pretty. You have been warned!

Kids bathroom. The little roller thing seems to be missing from the toilet paper holder. A search of all places imaginable does not turn up roller thingy. Add roller thingy to shopping list.

Repeat eleventy zillion times: Put on your shoes 

Find strange red waxy substance on door molding. Smelling confirms it to be cherry chapstick. Great! My doors will not have to suffer from chapped lips this winter. Ask children, "Who was playing with my chapstick?" Get blank stares and a chorus of, 'Not me!'. 
Stop banging into the walls.  Leave you pants on. Get off the counter. Get your finger out of your nose. When was the last time you brushed your teeth? Don't sit on your brother. 

Locate missing pirate dagger in pantry and give back to now happy 5 year old. 
Explain to 5 year old why you cannot see your own forehead. 
Get the oil changed in vehicle times 2.
Feed, water and potty the littles numerous times. The biggers are on their own, including Daddy.

Discover pretty pink lip print on towel closet door. Hmm, it's about the height of one 5 year old but that isn't his color! Don't even ask this time. Assume son has become a closet cross dresser and move makeup to higher drawer. 

Hey, I mean it, when was the last time you brushed your teeth? What, you can't find your tooth brush? I just bought new ones for everyone. Begin toothbrush search and discover it on top of Mac hard drive. Apply it not-so-gently to neglected teeth. 
Don't step in the mud. Wipe your nose. Eat this, don't eat that, stop it. Stop it. Stop it. 

Tell son what infinity means. 

Boys want to play fetch with dog, can't find her ball. Oh, there it is. Again with the pantry. 
ashley's my favorite!!!! 
thats why i got her the best christmas presents:)

Attempt to blog, leave for a moment to stop WWF smackdown in the living room and find the blog has been bogarted by my second child. 

When is lunch????

Too funny! And you wouldn't change a thing, would you?

Oh and I knew that was cherry chapstick on the door since I have some on mine too. Must be a favorite of doors!

Hope PJB's foster mother was able to see her and that you got a good report.

So glad to see that life in your house is as normal as it is in mine :-) Enjoy the journey!

Been there, every detail sounds like us. Last year during the summer, we had a month of infinity... Jonah learned about it then proceeded to explain it to everyone that would listen. He sounded so bright... Until you add the other details like lip gloss on doors, or in our case mirrors, missing toilet paper rolles, etc. Boys are strange creatures!!!

You make me laugh...this stuff drives me nuts and it is nice to know it happens everywhere.

My boys are older (15 & 9), so you probably haven't had the tampon torpedos yet! Right now there is a spit was on my bath mirror...the joy of boys!!!!!!!!!

How about some pictures of those beautiful girls of yours. The boys are absolutely precious and Arhen seems like he has been home forever. Hopefully, the last little chickie will be home soon to complete the nest!

Happy New Year!

Just so you know, I caught on to your secret back-up stash of lemon juice in your pantry... I know how you are.
Love You!!!
