A Day in The Life As a Mother

Today was a... crazy day!!! It started like a normal day of waking Rylie up for school, fixing her lunch, and taking her to school. Then Taylor and I drove to the store to go grocery shopping. I had this idea that I would be like my thrifty friends and get all the adds from other stores and have Wal-Mart price match. So I do my shopping, get in line and the fun begins. I was that old lady with the ads in front of you, annoyed out of your mind at her because she is taking so dang long. Then we go home and start putting groceries away. I pour Taylor some Soy Chocolate Milk (her Choco) and start putting the other groceries away and the phone rings. Its my friend Teresa so as I am talking to her I turn around and there is a lake of Choco all over my counter and little rivers going along the sides of my sing and using the edge as the waterfall! SERIOUSLY! The ENTIRE brand new choco is completely empty! So I get all that cleaned up and then we eat lunch, take naps, and go get Rylie. All is good.

I start fixing dinner and realize that Taylor is being WAY to quiet so I come in to the living room and she is using my furniture for her art work! This is just an example of some of the art work I cleaned up. As Rylie and I set the table I go in to grab the other chair that is in the living room and pull on it and it totally snaps out of my hand. Rylie had done this! She used my sewing tape measure of all things. :) She is seriously a expert knot tier!

So we have a great dinner with everyone home!! Yay!! And we start doing dishes.. our dishwasher broke yesterday. This was actually an experience that I loved! I don't know that I should even write this on here because Ryan might actually listen and not get me a new dishwasher... but... I almost don't want one now. It was such a good time doing dishes with Rylie. She helped me rinse them and did such a great job. I know, I will wake up to reality soon enough but maybe we will just do dishes the old-fashioned way after dinner! :)

After that I decided to make Taylor's cake for her birthday tomorrow. As I was doing this I heard the girls in the bathroom laughing. Taylor had put Rylie's old potty seat on the toilet and Taylor was up there trying to go potty like a big girl. I didn't have my camera for this one. :( I went back to cake decorating and Rylie came running out like a banchy screaming for Taylor not to touch her.. Taylor had put her feet and hands in the toilet.. and was running stark naked though the house. :) Rylie decided to put her diaper on her and Taylor came walking in the kitchen with it on backwards! It was hilarous! (note the "artwork" on her stomach, this is a daily occurence.)

Then Ryan came home from going with the missionaries to teach someone and we ended our crazy day with Dad being crazy himself!

I treasure these days so much! It was such a hectic but fun day!! Sorry for the novel but this is like a journal for me and I wanted to post it! :) I hope everyone is having a great day!
