We made it through.....

So Russ left us for a week. He went to "Man Camp". It really was a Stake encampment for the Teachers and Priests. So I was all alone for a week with the kids. It really did go by pretty fast considering all that I went through. I know that I keep posting about our almost two year old Brynn. But that's just it, two year olds run the household. I will just tell you a portion of what went on this week and believe me I could go on and on. You all have been there so I won't make you feel to bad for me. So we started out the week with killing a day at the Dinosaur Park. Brynn fell right when we got there and cut up her hands. So needless to say she looked like a bloody mess. Oh well, the kids still had fun. Tuesday we all went to Roberts Crafts and as I am checking out the cashier asks if I wanted that and was pointing to what Brynn had in her hands. I go to look at her and she had opened a bottle of paint that she must of snatched off the shelf when I wasn't looking and smeared the paint all over her face, hands, and clothes. Needless to say, I bought the paint. I then had to go over to Target grocery shopping. I didn't have any wet wipes so as I am walking into Target everyone is looking at Brynn and thinking "oh, you poor mom". Jaxon just kept saying, "Mom your going to ground her or put her in time out, right?" I still haven't figured out how to punish a two year old. Any ideas? Well, the week went on with her pooping on the floor. Brynn taking off at the Discovery Center and a women holding her and asking around who's child this is. I wanted to run the other direction but, I claimed her. The lady was irritated and told me that Brynn was headed onto the elevator to go up to the next level. I guess this lady had perfect children. I was watching Opera one day and she had a bald, black man with a goatee as a guest. Brynn looks at the TV and yells "Dave, that's Dave". Dave is Russ' good friend. He is bald and has a goatee. But he isn't Black. Jaxon and I got a kick out of that. She thought for sure that was Dave. It was really cute. Well, I am sure glad that our Bishop gave Russ and I a blessing before Russ left. I know that I would have been a wreck when he got home. I just laughed everything off and sure wish that I had a camera with me at Roberts. Wow, that's all I have to say. Jaxon was a huge help. I am sure going to miss having him around when he goes back to school. Avery was very good also. I am blessed to have such entertaining, loving children. My life would be dull without them!
