Now they're gone....

and man is it hard to be a parent again! Oma and opa left yesterday and so today i was back to being full time mommy. boy did it suck! by 10 am ronan had gotten into the tolietpaper, gotten my foundation in his hair, and beaten the tar out of zander. why does he save it all for me?! the break oma and opa provided for me was absolutely amazing and needed. i didn't realize how worn out i was till they stepped in and started playing with the kids. and the boys warmed up to them right away so there was no worries there. and of course they helped with jade too which was nice. i even got solid naps every day they were here....so nice. but now, it's back to reality and back to the fights, disciplines, but also to the hugs. the boys gave me lots and lots of hugs today and i enjoyed that!
here's yet another poop story from our house. two nights ago, ben was supposed to be giving the boys a bath...well, for some reason he was roaming the house occasionally yelling "marco/polo" with the boys. suddenly zander starts screaming and ben runs in and starts gagging like he's going to throw up. which of course prompts zander to do the same. so i go running in and there is ronan holding up a bucket for me with his poop/water in it. (hey at least he caught it i guess) and let me just add the little detail that he had gogurt poop. anyone feed thier child that stuff? then you know the bright bluish/green color i'm talking about! so i quickly pull z out and send him off to the shower with ben in our room. i turn around to grab ronan who apparently found some more poop floating outside of his bucket and picked it up. UGH! eventually he ended up in the shower, the poop was all gathered and flushed down the toliet (thanks to me, NOT ben), and the bath was cloroxed. ewww....
