a kid some mittens, but they'll insist on taking them off...
a girl a bed, but she'll insist on sleeping on the floor by the dog...
a baby a whole house to play in, but she'll continually make a bee-line for the mudroom, the coldest and dirtiest room in the house...
babies a whole array of yummy food, but they'll still stuff their faces with dog food, at any given chance
so, why try, right?! :) we've just given in and started putting the twins in the mudroom to play,
feeding them out of dog dishes on the floor,
taken Hailey's bed away and letting her sleep on the floor,
and not using mittens anymore...
ok, just kidding-
we're still making them wear mittens...
we're the 4th showing in a week, tonight, and I'm ready to loose my mind! I'm exhausted, wore out and very tired of keeping my house extremely clean!! I haven't changed our sheets or given anyone a bath in so long, because they seem to take a backseat to all the other cleaning you have to do when someone's coming over to look over your house with a fine tooth comb! I never realized how stressful this would be, how much work it would be and how cranky I would get at my kids for getting a toy out...and, I don't like it one bit! I just want this to be over with...ugh!
So true!
ReplyDeleteAfter a particularly messy night that involved playing with plastic Dixie cups and plastic forks found in the pantry, my husband declared that next year we're not buying toys for Christmas--we'll just wrap up some kitchen supplies for them to play with. Wait, that won't work. They only want what they can't have! haha
