Update for Monday, July 21

It is only 10:16 a.m. My kids have only been up since 8:00, but I thought you might like a preliminary tally of today's destruction:

1 large bowl of oatmeal all over the kitchen floor, on chairs, and in between all of the toes on Wyatt's left foot

2 pee accidents on the living room floor

1 broken lamp

1 toothbrush lost in the toilet

3 changes of underwear

1 streak of what I hope was chocolate on the wall

2 broken music CDs

1 glass of spilled water

1 large bowl of milky raisin bran spilled all over the couch and floor

1 Wyatt-sized bite to my right knee

+ a total of 5 meltdowns (2 for Calvin, 2 for Wyatt, and 1 for me)

I've almost finished my first roll of paper towels today, but it's looking like we might have a 3 roll day. I guess I can't complain too much since I haven't cleaned up blood yet.

You are such a trooper!! (And a saint!) I was thinking as I read, "I would have had about 16 metdowns by now!" They are such fun little blessings...I can't wait to have one to cause destruction :) (Really, I'm serious!)

WOW! What a day! I'm impressed that you've only had 1 meltdown! Do you keep duct tape around the house? Maybe if you...make sure the boys stay together things won't be so crazy...or maybe it would be worse... :) Good luck and have a fun rest of the day:)

So was the one streak of hopeful chocolate indeed chocolate or a cause for underwear change #4?
