3:53 AM - Parker woke up from a bad dream, he then crawled in bed with me. He fell asleep within two minutes. Five minutes later I moved him back into his bed. I like having the bed to myself. Although Isaac has ended up in bed with me almost every night. He has been waking up in the middle of the night a bit stuffy. I can't figure it out. Maybe it is the weather, most likely a cold, now I am thinking those baby teeth are playing a role in his issues too.
4:03 AM - Isaac started crying.
4:30 AM - Clark is mad that Parker got moved into his bed. I couldn't carry a sleeping kid to the top bunk. I drug Parker to his bunk.
4:53 AM - Back to sleeping.
6:45 AM - I heard to boys playing in their room.
6:54 AM - Out of bed and downstairs feeding the boys.
7:12 AM - Folded last night's laundry.
7:25 AM - Got the boys dressed for the day. Got Parker ready for school. Got their hair done. It stuck straight up. It's getting long.
7:30 AM - Woke Carly up and got her moving.
7:45 AM - Carly and Isaac got dressed. I got dressed.
8:23 AM - Found cereal dumped on floor.
8:33 AM - Carly walked out the door for school.
8:42 AM - Packed everyone else up and went off to take Parker to preschool.
9:02 AM - Headed to the grocery store. I ended up making only one wrong turn. Bloom was closer to home than I thought it would be. Isaac was sleeping and Bloom has funny shopping carts. Instead of sitting on the cart handle area, Isaac went in the basket. Clark did not like this. He asked to get in the folded out part of the cart where your kid is supposed to sit. I couldn't open it with Isaac in the basket. Que screaming as Clark walks slowly behind me. I let him voice his opinion. Walked across the length of the store to find the candy aisle. Did not see it on any signs. Screaming continues. So I had to walk up and down a few aisles where you would possibly find candy: soda aisle, cracker aisle, baking aisle, the random food aisle. No candy. A man offered me some comfort. He told me to not worry, and that my kids would grow up soon and it would get easier. So he smiled at Clark. Screaming got louder. I had a mental moment of silence for Krista. She somehow does this on a regular basis. I finally gave up looking and asked a clerk for the candy aisle. It didn't have an aisle. It had a section in front of the meat and dairy. So dumb. I grabbed a box of cake mix so I don't look like a crazy person who shops for one thing with a screaming kid. I decided to make an apple pie cobbler thing when Krista and Andy get back. I leave Bloom. Not feeling too bad. I didn't give in to the screaming right. Is the correct parenting? I then used Redbox for a movie for the kids. FHE would be popcorn, candy, and a family flick.
9:50 AM - Back from Bloom. The crying stopped in the car. Cleaned up cereal from floor. I had two cookies for breakfast, and sat down to watch Meet the Robinsons with Clark and Isaac.
11:42 AM - Left to get Parker.
12:14 PM - Got back from short trip to preschool. First Dr. Pepper for the day. I took a mental note to get another case. Ate lunch with the kiddos.
1:05 PM - Clark down for a nap. Parker and I worked on our hats.
3:45 PM - Isaac went down for a nap and Clark woke up.
3:59 PM - Carly got home from school.
4:12 PM - Found yogurt on floor.
4:20 PM - Started dinner.
4:30 PM - Sent Carly to practice piano. Then I asked myself what night piano lessons were. I guessed Thursday. Carly read my mind and came in saying that she thought we missed piano. I looked at the schedule. We had to leave in less than twenty minutes. Stopped dinner. Packed everyone up.
4:50 PM - Left for piano. Obvious crisis in car with the boys. Proper threats we dispersed.
6:07 PM - Home. Sent Carly to the shower. Had the boys clean up their toys. Finished dinner.
6:56 PM - Boys in bath.

Holy smokes!!! So wild. I love reading about the crazy adventures! It seriously makes me laugh so hard. I have total symapthy cuz I know how crazy it is!! Especially the Clark melt-downs and the Parker and Clark fighting. Thank you so much for holding down the fort! You are giving me the opportunity of a life time.
Your life sounds very exciting! I missed the blog with the background on what you are doing and who Krista is... Can you fill me in??
Krista is Brett's sister. I never did a background blog so creepy people don't find me. Although I am sure if they wanted to enough they would. Krista and Andy are out of town and I am holding down the fort with one arm and a can of Dr. Pepper.
