What a crazy 10 minutes!

So today I decided that I would make a dinner that I never make.  Ham, potatoes, and rolls.  So I set the rolls at to raise in the sun and went into the kitchen to open the ham.  I was cutting open the package and the knife slipped and I cut my finger.  It wasn't too bad, but it hurt and bled a lot.  If you can't tell, it's my ring finger towards the top.  Anyway, I put a bandaid on it and went into Lauren's room to get a sympathy hug from her.  While I was doing that I thought to myself, "I don't see Will and I bet you anything he is in smashing those rolls!"  Sure enough, he was.  Hence Exhibit A below:
So I thought to myself, "I guess we're having scones tonight."



Then the phone rings and it's my mom.  So while I'm talking to my mom, Will comes over into the kitchen/hallway and smashes a ritz cracker on the floor and spreads the crumbs everywhere.  Talk about Mr. Destructo.  Then right after that, Lauren opens the pantry and dumps a fourth of a bag of Reese's Pieces on the floor along with the Ritz cracker crumbs.  My goodness!  At least I knew I wouldn't have a problem cleaning up the candy.  And Lauren used a picture of Matt's sister and fam as a table to pick up the candy.  Sorry, the picture is turned.  I thought I took care of that.
Then I went into the kitchen to continue making dinner and we were listening to music.  So the kids started to break it down.  I love it when they dance.   When the song was over, they went outside.  So I had about 5 beautiful minutes to myself until Lauren decided that she didn't know how to pump on the swing.  Kids sure do keep life interesting!  I don't know what I would do without them.  I love my kids so much!  Oh, and the dinner still turned out pretty good scones and all.

WOW Andrea, Your days sound a lot like mine. I love to watch my kids dance to and often think what I did when I didn't have kids. Must say there is never a dull moment now.

That is crazy. The roll story makes me laugh. I would have been so mad!

That is too funny. You know you're a fun mom whe you get out the camera to capture all the havoc.

I read entries like this and I think, "That is why Heavenly Father made me wait six years to have my second child." You are a great mom and very patient. You are very good at going with the flow.
