6pm. Ava and I eat supper--taco Tuesday! Which was my first mistake. El messo. Toddlers aren't clean regardless of what they eat. Why did I think taco Tuesday sounded so good. Noted. No more taco Tuesdays. Ever. Haha it wasn't that bad but never again by myself.
6:15pm Lane awakes from the best nap ever. Happy boy! He eats green beans and pears--of the puréed variety. He is happy and relatively clean.
6:32pm Ava decides she doesn't like her brother anymore and repeatedly tells him not to look at her. Um, is it bedtime yet? She gets a time out and has to say sorry. Which doesn't set well with her. Crap. The evening is starting to spiral downward.
7:00pm Ava is an angry sweaty mess and needs a bath from our playtime in the basement and outside today. We cleaned off the very dirty but new to us--ten dollar--slide and playhouse. It was more of a spray mommy with cold water while she scrubs my new toy game. Lots of Dawn and elbow grease later it's less dirty and still something else to mow around. She will have a blast on it this summer.
7:05pm Her bath was that quick. She wasn't having it. So we hurry hurry hurried and viola! clean kid!
7:45pm Woof. The evening is dragging by. I plan to have the kids to sleep by 8:30. We need a distraction for 45 minutes. Hmm... Let's go get the mail! Load the kids up in the stroller and realize it is too big to fit around my car in the garage. Perfect. Strap kids in extra securely. Move the car out. Ah! On our way to the mailbox.
8:15pm We take extra extra laps around the driveway. Is it really only 8:15? We come inside. Meltdown ensues. Somehow I get Lane to sleep and lay him in his bed. Hallelujah. The angels are rejoicing!
8:30pm I decide tonight is the night Ava needs to start sleeping in her own bed at night. Mom fail. Haha. Lane wakes up because she screams at the thought and here we are.
10:41pm Lane is in the floor smiling and trying to crawl. Ava is pretending to take pictures with her Barbie camera and being sweet as pie.
Moral of the story: I'm taking a nap at my parents tomorrow! Haha
