They're Baaaack

The kids got back from Idaho early Saturday morning. Q and I went to get them about 10 since they woke up about 9:30. We have had a very hard time with Beckham. His pottying is much much better, but his attitude is not so great. Routine is not a strong suit of Mike's. Getting back into habits and routines here has been a little rough on him. Plus I think he is making up for lack of sleep while he was gone. Jaxan, on the other hand, has been great. She has her moments, but overall the trip didn't effect her as much. 

Yesterday my mom and I must have taken some what-were-we-thinking pills. We decided to take the kids all school shopping. Not the bravest of moves. Becks had some meltdowns, even with chocolate and the rides at the mall. Jaxan was great and knew exactly what she wanted to get. Skyler was seeking a lot of approval. She needed a lot of attention, and I didn't have much to spare. Thank goodness for Grammy. She took Sky to Aeropostole while I let the kids ride the rides in the mall. By the time we met Dad for lunch, Becks was done. Poor baby had had it with shopping, minding and just being. He fell asleep on the way home and slept another 3 hours after that. Then all the kids went and helped Dad clean the pool. 

I should have known it was going to be a rough day before we left the house yesterday. I ran downstairs to get the bag so I would have a change of clothes for Becks. Potty trained yes, but that doesn't always mean he does it. When I came upstairs he was showing me his bloody finger. He wouldn't tell me what happened. When I saw a chair pushed up to the counter, a sharp knife and a cut peach - I put two and two together. So I washed it and bandaged it, and at that point we both should have gone back to bed. 

Thank goodness for spare change and sister to help entertain little brother. 

Today my house needs a MAJOR overhaul. I have laundry that needs done as well as getting Jaxi all put together for school. I am also in charge of chickens and the pool today. Lets hope I don't forget something along the way.
