At three years of age you can't even imagine what a monster the youngest is. In a matter of 15 minutes he removed the door from the buffet in the play room and played with the screws, tore pieces up from The Very Hungry Caterpillar game, broke the limbs from Flippin Frogs, and stuffed toys into crevices of Piranha Panic that I didn't even realize were there. So in the garbage can they all went and the wailing began from both of them.
I shouldn't wonder why I get labeled the worst mom when I throw stuff away.
So when everyone looks into his big brown eyes and says how cute he is just remember he can turn at any moment :)

Huron Pointe Sportsman Club
On Sunday we went to Heritage Days with my dad, Miss C, and my brothers. The boys all took a hunter safety crash course, went through the Lenox Twp Smoke House (which is an experience I thought was awesome) and made our way through a whole afternoon of family events.
The Macomb County Sheriff's Department was on hand with their mounted officers, Swat team and dive teams. The kids were excited to climb aboard the dive teams truck, the marine teams boat and the Swat teams vehicle was something I hope they never have to see out on the streets.
The kids all painted shirts, birdhouses/boats, face paintings, blow up slide, pony rides (courtesy of the grandparents), we had lunch together and just had a wonderful time.
I can see us doing that every year!! What an experience for the whole family. We seen a lot of familiar faces there and the weather was beautiful. Guess what guys?? It didn't even rain on us!

Where to begin??
This week has been crazy and yes it is only Wednesday. The boys have had their fill of each other and don't do much besides argue with each other. I sat them down today and made them each say one thing they liked about the other. 10 minutes later I hear from the oldest that he likes to color with the big fat idiot he has for a brother. I guess it is a start right?
After telling the boys not to play with the video camera I had to take it away as they nearly dropped it off the tripod. That started the snowball effect of being the worst mom ever again. The oldest let me know that he was going to live in a tent forever, that way he didn't have to talk to me. (I know the first noise outside he would be back) I am giving myself kudos for not pitching that tent tonight.
Ask the youngest why he bit his brother on the back of the neck and he replies "Because I wanted to." I guess I asked a question right?
The funny antics of a day.

Worst mom
We went to Staples today to get the free office supplies they offer and my oldest tells me I am the worst mom ever because I won't buy him a calculator. Going into kindergarten and there is no known list of school supplies to be seen and still I get the worst mom ever award. I could think of things much worse than that to get the award but I have to start somewhere right? Tomorrow is another day!!
The plans for the boys this week is to make their own web show. I guess ICarly is more influence than I thought on them. You should see the backgrounds they are creating and writing down the scrips they need. What a hoot!
Only a few more weeks of summer and I am pretty sure I know why parents can't wait for their kids to go back to school. I know they are bored but the ugly attitudes that go with it - wow.
If you are reading this and your mother has a distressed look on her face - take it easy on her and don't pull the worst mom ever card. Cut her some slack.
