Everyday can't be perfect

 Today was one of those crazy days...Terry usually takes Presley to pre-school so that he can take her on a date to breakfast. But today I took her because he had to work early. Then I came home to drop Trent off with Danielle (a sweet girl from our youth who we love so much!) so that I could go to the dentist. After that, I rushed to pick Presley up and then everything went from hurried to crazy to frustrating to we-may-as-well-go-to-bed because it is not going to get any better. Greeeeat attitude right?? Trent fought his nap like his life depended on staying awake and since he has conqured climbing his tall dresser (it's bolted to the wall) he needed something else to do. He decided that taking off his diaper FIRST as to not soil the fresh diaper, then drop a load in his bed and then walk all over it, smear himself with it and then the spindles of the crib and then the wall...when I came in he was looking at me like "what? I am still in my crib...what's you're problem?"

I was smart enough...no, by the Grace of Almighty God I decided to not discipline him at all at that moment, rather just plop him in the bath tub...then when he was not in earshot begin to say how I really felt to the walls. And you know what happened next? Terry, like the night and shining armor he is, walked in the door and then in true hero fashion saved the day (and money that would have been spent for my psyh hospital bills) and took over...as I cleaned up the aftermath.

It was already 315 at this point, so there was no use in him taking a nap.

It is now 730 and Trent ofcourse went to sleep fairly easily and we are now watching Mulan. Presley is curled up in her Daddy's lap and they are having a conversation on how to pronounce Mulan in Chinese.

And that was my day :)

Memorable conversation with Presley "one day when I get to heaven I want to be wearing a dress, with pearls and I also want a cricket..mommy I want to be mulan" Then I say you want to be Mulan in Heaven? And she says no silly, for Halloween.

So happy that we were able to snap these pictures in the morning!

Smile pretty for the camera (apparently I said don't look at the camera though)

Quick! Make a silly face
