Life in the Shoes of Krista: Day 8

6:22 AM - The boys were up playing. I heard them talking about the costumes in the closet. I get out of bed to stop this. I didn't like putting those away two days ago.

7:06 AM - Carly and I finally got up and out of bed because of the noise. Everyone went downstairs for breakfast.

7:15 AM - Carly worked on getting ready. Very very very slowly. For getting up thirty minutes early she was running behind. Ten minutes before she needed to be out the door her hair wasn't done, she had no socks or shoes on, and her bags weren't packed. By now, I was on her case about what she had been doing all morning to be rushing the last ten minutes. Oh yeah, watching TV and stressing about a bag for her bagged gift for an after school party. I'm not the kind of girl that drags her feet or dottles (which may or may not be a word) when something needs to get done. Apparently this will be an issue for me when I have older children.

8:38 AM - Carly left. Without brushing her teeth. Isaac woke up. I left the boys downstairs to finish their movie while I got dressed. Eventually it ended. They started playing in the toy room. The noise got louder as then ran around, but there wasn't any crying or screaming so I left them alone. When I was ready enough I went down stairs with Isaac to get the boys. I was standing at the top of the stairs when I noticed why they were so happy. They were naked. Running around naked. In circles. I quietly walked down the stairs and stood at the bottom waiting for them to come back through their circle. I stood there and once they saw me they stopped in their tracks. Naked, with this face that said, the fun was worth the trouble I am sure we are in. It was funny.

8:55 AM - The boys put clothes on.

9:36 AM - Dr. Pepper for me and Puffs for Isaac.

9:40 AM - I started to make some fun plans for the next two days. Movies and Five Guys today, Chuck-e-Cheese tomorrow.

11:42 AM - Isaac took a nap. Pintrest.

12:05 PM - I made some grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch with lots of butter. Parker requested two different kind of cheeses. 

12:56 PM - Clark started crying for no apparent reason. So he went down for a nap. Isaac woke up.

2:40 PM - Isaac has another snack and fell asleep in the high chair.

2:50 PM - I told Parker that we were going to leave soon to go have some fun. He kept asking if we were going to go to Target. I told him it was a surprise. It got him moving. He helped Clark get his socks and shoes on. Jackets. He picked up some of his afternoon snack too.

3:07 PM - Krista and Andy Skyped the boys.

3:54  PM - Left the house.

3:57 PM - Arrived at Five Guys for dinner. I was craving a cheeseburger. I boys eat so well there!

4:27 PM - Got in the car to head to the movies and realized that the address I had wasn't pulling up on the GPS. I had a pretty good idea of were I was going but I wasn't 100% positive. So I went back home to figure it out.

5:08 PM - Arrived at the movies. I told Clark we were going to see a movie and he was really excited. I woke Parker up since he fell asleep on the way. He was very grumpy. I paid for the movie tickets. I must look desperate when I am out with the kids. I always get favors. I should have bought one adult ticket and one kid ticket. I only paid for my ticket. Had everyone use the bathroom before the movies. Isaac got mad because the flushing sound scared him. A lot.

5:45 PM - Movie started. Parker started to freak out because the beginning was a bit scary. Clark wasn't phased at all. I wasn't about to leave. So I started to hand out snacks. I brought things from the house. Isaac started wigging because apparently he knows when we are eating and didn't want to be left out. Eventually Parker kept says, "Let's get outta here." Over and over and over and over again. Then Clark kept talking about having to pee. Over and over and over and over again. Once I finally gave in to haul everyone out of the theaters no one wanted to leave. Then Clark really wanted to pee. So we left for the bathroom. Parker tripped right in the middle of the hallway and started crying. Still crying, we got in the bath room. I helped Clark get his shoes and pants off. Then he started to completely undress, which I wasn't going to have. He got mad and started crying. Then he noticed that the last person didn't flush, so he flushed it. Isaac started crying. All three boys crying in the family bathroom. It echos in there.

7:16 PM - The movie ended and we left to pick Carly from the party. Somewhere along the way the GPS told me to turn left. So I did, down an over grown road completely covered in leaves. When I first got on it I thought it was dirt. I got to the end of it and it was closed. I had a gate and a pad lock. So I knew I was going to have to turn around. Which there wasn't much room for. So I tried backing out. Which I suck at. Then I looked around and noticed that the forest around me was very creepy. Then, previews to scary movies I have never seen only heard about came to mind. I started to freak out a bit and did a fifty point turn in the middle of the forest while some crazy witch lady watched from afar and plotted on what to do with our bones if we drove off the road into the Potomac. I am pretty sure that a road was moved and the GPS didn't know. Eventually we made it to the right house.

8:17 PM - We made it home. I decided that it was too late for the normal bed time stuff. So the kids didn't take baths. I decided we will get it done tomorrow.

8:45 PM - Bed time.

9:01 PM - Shower.

10:09 PM - Started blogging.

10:49 PM - Stopped blogging and went to bed.
