Another day...

Friday's Fun
(The condensed version)

Mom: feeding Parker upstairs for about 5 min. All children there and accounted for.

Brooklyn: disappeared into kitchen. Found bowl, filled with butter, and whipping cream. Used microwave.

Dallin: found the tub o' butter

Mom: smelled something burning. Found children. No one hurt. Took pictures.






Later that day...


Brooklyn and Dallin: wrestling, laughing.

Dallin: Crying. Hurt. Can't put weight on his left leg.

Mom: freaking out. Thinking about Brandon still out of town. Already spent several hours at the doctors office yesterday.

Mom: still freaking out.

Dallin: can put weight on his leg. walks. Runs and falls a lot.

Even Later...

Dallin is fine, but still falls and then opts to crawl instead.

Mom: still nervous, but I am a worrier...that is what I do.

Mom: Brandon please come home! We miss you!


Below: cute babies for good measure. Anyone know who is who?

I'm like you, when I'm overwhelmed and the kids do "naughty" things, I have a choice: freak out or just take pictures and clean it up. I try to the the second one more than the first. Good job picking the second.

Umm.. I am going to give it a go... Parker on the right, Colby on the left.

I need to be better about taking pictures of the disasters. I should have just taken pictures of my whole house today. Why, oh why, do they insist on following you around making messes?

AMY said...

Wow, what a handful! I still can't believe you already have 4 kids. You are such a cute family and your kids are adorable!
