What In The World...

I had a really important meeting after school today. Because of timing restraints, my only option was to take Hailey and Haiden with me. They started off really good. I even got them food to keep them occupied. Unfortunately, the meeting started about 20 minutes late. All their good behavior time had expired in the lobby. When I finally got to the right room I got them seated with their food, some paper and a pen. Lets just say that the pen got more use than the paper.

Haiden really had a bad day. First, he was jumping up trying to see something on the counter at the babysitter and got a little too close. He smacked the top of his nose on the underside of the counter...ouch. You can see some of the marks int he picture. I think the "X" will be on his nose for a while because it hurts him too much if I try and wash it off. On our way home from their "artistic" meeting with Mommy, he decided to unbuckle his seat belt. As he stood up in the car and held on to the back of my seat, he said that he wanted to go for a ride. I asked him if he wanted me to take him on a "ride" to the police station! That sure got him to sit down.

I would love to say that my 3-year-old can write his own name, but that is not the case. Hailey thought it was fun to "decorate" her brother.

But wait, she did not just write on her brother. This (very intelligent) little girl took the time to draw on HER OWN face as well. We are always praising her for her amazing artistic talents, but this is taking it a little too far!

I did get a few minutes of peace and quiet during the meeting. Although, I also got to scrub their arms and faces for quite a while when we got home!

I absolutely looked like Mother Of The Year today...NOT!!!
