When we are not looking.....

I usually let the kids play in the back yard with the door open. They love it, and they are usually really good! But yesterday Talon discovered the spicket. And he also discovered the fun to be had......so they all stripped and played in the pool. Yes, there is NO pool! However Addison thought a plastic box was a home made pool. Love their ideas!

(They might kill me for this picture!)

Jon and I have been wanting to teach Addison about a computer. You know a real one, the ones that she will learn to work with at school. So we pulled out my old hard drive from college and I found a cheap monitor on craigslist. It is working great! When Jon pushed the on button I could feel us both holding our breath to see if it worked. She LOVES it, she is not very good with it yet, but that's what it is for........And Jon set it up in our spare closet. So yes we lock our kid in a closet ( not really) I am excited to get her a few learning games to play.


So a fun story for my readers.
(I bet most mommies have this problem!)
I decided to run to Publix to grap a few things, usually this is the only place I will go when I have to take all THREE kids! Mainly because everyone is so sweet and the bagger usually takes out my groceries for me.
So the kids did great through the whole store, but when we got to check out they were at their limit and were screaming. The bag lady came over and made a comment to the cashier that she was afraid to come down there with all that noise. I looked at her like, WHAT? Were you not a baby one time?
So I let it go, figured its been a while since she had kids, or maybe she didn't, so maybe she has no idea that I am a momma on the edge!
We make our way out, I am dragging Talon, holding a kicking Sophia and yelling at Addison because she is looking at her feet and taking her sweet time in the middle of traffic! I finally get all three screaming kids in the car and told the lady thank you for helping me.
She said, "How many kids do you have?"
I thought can you count? But I replied with "Just the three."
Her answer, get ready, hold on to your chair, "Well I sure hope you aren't planning on having any more, you got enough!"
(Jon and I are happy with our number, and need NO more! BUT YOU never say that to a mother who just struggled through a grocery store with three kids, two of which are 2!)
I felt like counting out loud to ten to let her know I have a lot of patience but its leaving me by the second. So I pulled what any good woman would, it  was the smile.
My reply, "We would count any more children a blessing."
And I just got in my car and left. I am sure she went in and I am sure they all talked about me, but this mommy doesn't care.

While I am on a soap box, people comment alllll the time about, how many kids we have and how young they are. PEOPLE they came two at a time, its not like I could have said, "Hey Talon you wait a year or two, ok." I did feel better about my kids though, because they were acting like adults compared to that lady and any other ADULT who says ridiculous comments about the best things ever to happen to this little family.

I am done, if you read this entire post you deserve a metal!
