Did you know that one week out of life can be one of the most boring weeks of life when the next week your wishing that a little of that last week would pour into the remaining current week. As you can probably tell it's been one of those weeks.. I'm just glad that it's coming to a close. That is probably why your seeing that I've decided to just go ahead and update this blog before I forget about it all.
Monday started out with Doug and I taking the two youngest ones, around doing a little shopping. Might I just say that someday, I will be able to walk into a store without one kid trying to get run over, and then running from aisle to aisle only to throw things in the cart that we absoultly don't need. Having tantrums in the middle of the floor, or trying to run everyone down in their path with a shopping cart. I look forward to that day.
Any way back to Monday, we had just loaded the boys up for the last stop when my cell phone rings and it's the Doctor's office telling me that I could get the boys in that day. So you know I'm always going to think things are going to run smooth and that since Doug happens to be home, I can take both in and have Doug's help all at the same time. You know one kid for one adult kind of thinking. Yes, I was wrong yet again in my thinking. Doug decided that it was going to cut it too close to the time Dougie would need to be picked up. Whatever, was my thinking I figured we had plenty of time. But, Doug was stubborn and stayed home while I took the two with me. Short story Daxton surprised me by listening to me and eating his treat that I took to bribe him with. While Connor, took the opposite tact. He ate his treat then went on to jump on furniture, climb on water fountains, and got under people and their seats. When I told him that if he would just sit and hold still, that I'd get him a treat he just held up his hand and said, "I already got a treat." Then there was the evil laugh.. In the end it ended up that the receptionist almost had a heart attack watching him and told the nurse she needed to hurry up and get those boys through. Lesson learned when you don't want to wait long, take Connnor.
Tuesday was a busy day with kids trying to run anarchy on us. Doug decided to be upset with me due to Connor getting his shots. By the end of the day Daxton told us to both "knock it off, your driving me crazy. I think I'm going to hit you both." When it came down to it Daxton hit Doug and that was it. The boy loves his mama.
Wednesday, well that became the most excitement for us. It started out good. Sun was out spring felt like it was on it's way. I had tons of energy. Then night came. I was up until three o clock in the morning before I crashed on the couch in the front room. Around three thirty, I woke up to Doug running through our closest and hearing the click of him cocking the gun. He stepped out of the door by the hallway and told me to take Connor and hurry downstairs. So here's the thing, I'm trying to wake up and think what's going on and what's going to happen to Doug. Obviously I didn't go downstairs like I was told. Then I heard Doug talking to someone and realized that there was someone on the back porch. The guy left and Doug came and told me to call the cops. So I did and gave info to the dispatch and waited. Apparently the guy was lightly tapping on the glass sliding door. I figured to get a response on if anyone was awake. He'd made up some excuses after Doug meet him at the door. He'd had his mag flash light with him. Doug figured he was going to use it to break the glass and get in. So after having to go through the run down with the cops. We all tried to get back to sleep. Of course, Connor was way to excited and Doug didn't get to go back to sleep.
Thursday thankfully was just a normal day and of course when night came the boys and I all ended up camped out in the front room.
Now I'm just hoping for uneventful weekend, but allowing the excitement for Dougie's b-day..

still here
Yey I'm back to the land of the living for the moment, so I thought what the hell I'll update the blog. I know that a lot of different things have happened I just can't quit remember all of them so I will try to give a good update on the boys and what they've been up to. The one thing I'm sure about is that spring still hasn't shown up. One of these days though, and I'll be waiting along with three boys who have stored enough energy to last for the summer. Playing in the snow has only fueled it.
Dougie is getting bigger, he's still liking school and gets mad if he loses out on a recess or gym. He has finished with his reading class and went to visit his pal the principal to read her a chapter out of a book. We've also learned what happens when his school goes into emergency lock-down. All I have to say is that it took me two hours to get my kid out and that Dougie's changed his mind and doesn't want to be a cop any longer. Sunday he tried to give the prayer for primary and ended up telling me and everyone that it was stupid and that he wasn't finishing it. Definitely takes after me.
Daxton's got us counting down the days until I can separate him and Connor for a few hours from each other. No matter how short his nails get cut he, still manages to put huge bloody scratches on Connor. He seems to spend a lot of the time sitting in the corner glaring threats at his brother's. I know it's tough being the middle child. Don't worry he does get a lot of one on one time with us lately, it just doesn't seem to be enough for him. He tried to tell me the other day that we we're going to trade Connor for a girl.. I just looked at him and said "No boys, are all I can handle, there's plenty of drama as is."
Connor's turned into quit the little rebel. I've learned that when my wallet or cell phone or anything has gone missing, to just go to the source. All I have to do is know something's gone missing and tell him that I need it. He then does this evil little laugh, (it's a little scary actually) and runs to go get it. If I'm lucky I can have it back within the first ten minutes of asking if not, he runs around holding it and taunting us. Good thing he's the youngest and I have the other two to help chase him down. He doesn't like to listen, I know go figure a child that doesn't listen, but this kid in particular laughs right in your face and goes about his business. So yeah it's me times ten.. Scary.
So the boys are still here ruling the house, taking no prisoner's in their path, and watching the Olympics with us. The two younger ones have really taken notice of the snowboarding. I think that, that might be something we can all learn together. They have also had their good moments helping their dad out while I've been dealing with migraines. They've gotten quit considerate you know yelling through the door for me so "it's not to loud on me," or telling me to close my eyes because their turning the lights on, and my favorite thinking that they should bring the movie's to me. They also got excited for my birthday, I think they we're more excited. Daxton tried to buy me a bigger knife. Apparently my pocket one isn't big enough. He also told me that he could get me a bigger one and he could have the other one. Yeah just what we need. Nothing to get them excited about whoever's birthday, what counts is the presents, cake and Ice cream. To me that's the best part them getting excited over nothing. Couldn't ask for anything better.
