Have you ever had one of those days? Well, for me yesterday was one of those days. It started off at basketball yesterday morning. While I was playing, and Kyle and Kelsey were playing in the carpeted overflow area of the church, I looked over and noticed the first "mess" of the day. Kyle had gotten a hold of the can of formula in my diaper bag and dumped out the almost-full can all over the carpet. What a mess it was. I vacuumed it up, and continued to play. No big deal, things like that happen. So then Tyler comes home from school with a bag of party favors from someones birthday. There was this gooey eyeball that had a sticky black part for the pupil. (It was not candy, just some slimey ball thing.) He, of course, thought it was so cool and proceeded to go around sticking it to everything. I didn't pay much attention till Dave came home from work and asked what this black stuff was all over the walls. I took a look and sure enough, black sticky slime was all over the hall walls, and even on my white lamp shade. So I spent the next 1/2 hour scrubbing my walls, and trying to make Tyler help, which he wasn't very good at scrubbing. Literally five minutes later, I go in the Kitchen and Kyle had gotten a blue marker and wrote all over his hands and touched the floor and walls with this blue marker. Lovely. So now I'm scrubbing blue marker off the walls, and the floor. Kyle decided to try and help, squirting 409 all over himself while I'm scrubbing the walls. So, then I take the kids to soccer practice and when we get home, Jessica is in Ashley's room with Kyle, I'm thinking they're safe cuz Jessica's a good helper, and then I hear Jessica say "No Kyle!!" I'm actually quite afraid to go in the room, but I do. Kyle had dumped out a tub of crayons and wrote black crayon all over the carpet. At this point I just have to laugh, cuz I know it's just "One of Those Days". Sometimes I think I do need to child proof this house like the cartoon above. (But then I don't think that would stop our little Kyle.....)

I feel for you Lori. It brings me back to a couple of days I've had like that in the past. The fact that you can laugh the same day it all happens is great. It would probably take me a few days at least to realize how funny a day like that can be.
Oh my, all I have to say is Mr. Clean magic eraser and spot shot. Two essentials in my house for days like yours.
WOW! I can't wait to have a house full of kids like you do. What fun they are having!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one :) I second Erin's Spot Shot! That stuff is amazing!
Oh Lori!! That IS a terrible day!! You always have such a great attitude about everything though... I'm glad we're friends- I'm hoping it will rub off on me... I want to be that kind of mom! Hopefully today was better! Ü
I feel like I have a day like that almost everyday...mishaps are a "permanent" fixture on some cabinets walls, the side of one our leather couches, and emmas once beautiful white bedspread...put all your sharpie markers up high!!!
What a fun crazy day! You got to love them, even when they test you, cause what fun would life be without them!! I'm glad you can laugh, cuz I would have probably cried! I haven't had to many days like that, but I'm sure they will come...and believe me, I cannnnn wait!!! I love you!!!
