Where do I start…
Spaghetti and carrots for supper + a case of monkey see, monkey do = A MESS!
It all started with Micah who decided it would be funny to put his carrots on top of his head rather than eating them tonight. Despite me trying firmly to tell him no and and Taylor and I both trying to “nore” him, he continued to put carrots on top of his head. * nore is Taylor’s word for ignore. Micah putting food in his hair led to Oliver putting carrots in his hair, which led to Seth putting carrots in his hair, which led to Addilyn doing the same. On top of that, they had spaghetti for supper, so by the end of the meal I had four red haired kids sitting in the high chairs. Thankfully Taylor knows how to eat, but his edible bus he made at the Growmobile this morning was a bit messy, so I was left to give all five kids a bath.
Monkey Micah the instigator.
Monkey Number 2 – Oliver
Monkey Number 3 – Seth
Monkey Number 4 – Addilyn
Taylor and his edible bus * All you teachers out there, this could be a fun project to end your bus safety unit.
Note to self – DO NOT FEED FOUR ONE-YEAR-OLDS SPAGHETTI WHEN YOU ARE ALL BY YOURSELF AND YOUR HUSBAND IS GOLFING.
How do I give five kids a bath by myself you may ask, easy and no planning required. (Ha,ha) Give three babies toys to play with in their high chairs, Micah and Taylor head to the bath. Quickly bathe and dress Micah, no time for playing in the tub tonight. Taylor gets to play in the tub with all four kids. Bring Micah to a pack-n-play in the family room, get Seth and bring him to the tub with Taylor. Another quick bath, get dressed, and in the next pack-n-play. Addilyn’s turn, quick bath and dressed, put the gate up in the family room and let her play. Finally Oliver, quick bathe, the water is getting cold and also red like spaghetti, get him out and dressed. Taylor gets out now too. Everybody to the family room now to play and it only took 45 minutes to clean up what maybe took 5 minutes to get messy. Bedtime can’t come early enough tonight.
