Day 4 Reinforcements

Steph showed up last night. I'm not sure if her main intent was to rescue the boys or to rescue Grandma but it really doesn't matter. Actually I think that it was an opportunity for her to play with the boys and she never passes up a chance at that.

I think the big news for today started with a phone call a couple of days ago. I have been in the new house for 3 months and waiting for someone to come make some final repairs. They called and wanted to make those repairs Wed. Of course they would. I have 2 extra little boys, my house is a total mess and things are chaos, sure come work on my house. To top things off, the guy shows up at my house just as breakfast was ready and I needed to feed the boys. The repair man wanted me to show him the needed repairs. I'm very glad that Steph was here to feed the boys.

The repairman spent the whole day fixing things and did a good job. He has just a couple of things to finish up tomorrow then he will be done. And I got my garage door fixed this morning so I can drive my car.

The boys had a good day. Mark woke up from his afternoon nap after only an hour. He was still tired but didn't want to sleep and I didn't want him to wake up Isaac. We played a fun little game. I would throw the ball and he would get it and bring it back to me. Mike's dogs never did figure out that game. Isaac slept for almost 3 hours. At 4:00 Mark was really having a hard time so I decided to let him nap for a bit. I was concerned with how grumpy he would be when I woke him up, but he was ok.

Both boys were tired at dinner time and dinner started off with both of them crying. The big difference between today and yesterday is that when the 2 yr old didn't want to eat dinner, I just said "fine, I don't care what you eat." I honestly don't know what he ate but he did like the fish and he did ok. Mark was so sleepy that he didn't eat very much. Now that is tired! He will be hungry in the morning, but I'm pretty sure that he won't starve to death over night.

Both boys were crying by the time they got out of the tub so it was time to skype mom and dad. The boys quickly calmed down. Grandma got yelled out for Mark being up too later. Sometimes mom's just doesn't understand.

So both boys got dressed, ate 3 meals, played outside a couple of times, had naps, had a bath and went to bed. Guess it was another successful day.
