To Be Honest....

Yesterday I was inspired by this blog and a conversation with a friend about blogging. My friend had mentioned that on blogs - you only post what you want people to see. It's so true.

So I have decided to show you, what normally I don't want people to see. Actually, I don't even want to see. So to be honest... Here we go:
The kids made a 20ft long train track. To Be Honest... They are not supposed to have their "playroom toys" in the family room. It is a rule we usually enforce - today I just walked right by. And guess what - it is still on the floor winding from the tv, through the dining room & into the kitchen! Oh, well. (Oh & G picking her nose)
 
To Be Honest: Garrison at some point took his shirt off & I had no idea. He asked for a snack & instead of cleaning & cutting some fruits/veggies I opened up a bag of m&m's and when he was done I didn't wipe his face (see above). While I was busy attempting to steam mop the kitchen floor I heard him making sounds and turned around and found him playing with the bleach bottle.








You may remember seeing the playroom a few days ago in my Easter blog. To Be Honest... I cleaned it the night before Easter, because I knew we were going to be down there taking Easter morning pics. But, it usually looks like this. And, not because I don't have time to clean it - but instead - I just don't see the point.
Grayson who has been potty-trained for a year and a half now, put on her brothers diaper (backwards & over her panties). To Be Honest... She may be regressing. But I thought it was too funny! Instead of talking to her about it - I laughed, took a picture and let her wear it!
Usually, I would put this picture in today's blog. I would tell you how we had such a wonderful time feeding the ducks. To Be Honest... The ducks/geese would not eat our bread. Both kids were so upset and we went home 5 minutes after we got there. While, both kids screamed in the backseat.
A picture of G & I from this morning. To Be Honest... She wanted me to get up and go downstairs with her and I convinced her to stay in bed with the promise she could play with my phone and take pictures.


To be honest... this is how most of our days go. I plan fun stuff like feeding the ducks & it backfires. I find the kids doing stuff they aren't supposed to be doing (sometimes dangerous stuff). Some days, I don't discipline them when I should. I often don't feed them the right amount of fruit, vegetables, grains, etc. This was our real life today. And To Be Honest... I love these days!

  1. I don't usually read your stuff but this I LOVED! My days are the same but double your kds. I often get asked by my sisters why my house is always a mess or why I don't clean. Its not that I don't its just that the day gets so crazy with kids gettinginto things and you have to stop every couple minutes. People without kids don't understand staying at home moms. We need more blogs like this so we don't feel like we re doing it all wrong. Nice job!
