I can laugh now...

My boys have actually stayed in bed tonight and have been asleep for almost 2 hours. As I think about the day I've had, I can actually look at it and laugh. It started this morning waking up late and rushing to get the boys fed and all of us ready for church at 9:00. I'm so sick of walking in late, so I was really stressing the be on time thing. As I was doing my hair I told the boys to get their church pants on, and I'd help them with their shirts in a minute. They both undress and do a few laps around the room naked, while I'm curling my hair yelling, get dressed boys. Logan gets his pants out, Porter puts on his excersise pants and comes in and asks what I think. I tell him to change and then I hear laughing and things being thrown around. I look out the bathroom door into their room and see that they have emptied out their pajama, underwear drawer and thrown the clothes all over their room and are laughing hysterically. I'm finally done getting ready and finish getting them dressed. We get to church right as they start singing the opening song, almost made it on time. We sneak onto the back row and a guy follows in after us and sits right next to Logan. Logan looks at this guy and goes and steals Porters seat which is on the other side of me. I pull him back over, (did I mention I threw my back out, pregnant ladies should not help move couch beds!) Logan starts yelling I don't want to sit by that man, I don't want to sit by that man. I'm totally embarrassed and finally get him to be quiet. The guy moved after they passed the sacrament. The rest of sacrament they were pretty good. Then came class time, Porter loves nursery and has no problems going. Logan didn't want to go to his class, so I told him that he had to come and sit with me in "boring" sunday school and he couldn't sing, talk or move. He decided he'd go to class instead. As sunday school got out the primary secertary told me that he didn't want to sit or sing and she talked with him and he decided to stay in there instead of coming in and sitting with me. I was a little embarrassed. His teacher said he does really good when they're in class it's the whole sharing time thing he just can't handle being in a room with that many kids and not being silly. So we made it home from church, ate lunch and all my kids wanted to do was watch cartoons. I'm trying to make sunday different from every other day of the week so I wouldn't let them. We decided to lay down and rest, my back was killing me. I put the boys up in their bed, granted they didn't really love this idea and start saying, we want daddy, we love him the best. (Some of you might get your feelings hurt by this, but I'm use to them loving daddy more when he's not here.) The boys lasted 5 minutes and came downstairs, so I had them get their coloring stuff out and color. I fell asleep and was awoken to the sound of scissors snipping something right by my head. I wake up and see Logan standing over my head with scissors in his hand. I feel my hair and start pulling stands of hair that he cut off. It's not noticeable but I was mad. I sent him to his room before I lost it, then I looked around me and the sunday paper is all over my house. I'm thinking I was only asleep for like 10 minutes, why are my kids so crazy? Porter helps me pick up the paper and we have a snack. Logan's bawling upstairs, I choose to ignore him, I still can't deal with him. So we get to bath time, yes I eventually let Logan out of time out. My boys love their bath so much that they start throwing water all around the bath room, getting dressed they have to do their naked lap around the room and we finally get our jammies on, our stories read, teeth brushed, and kids in bed. I haven't heard from them since and so now I can look back on this day and say, yes I can honestly say I still love my kids and I will love them always and forever.

What we've been up to...

During the break of General Conference we had beautiful weather and went and rode the bikes around outside. The picture of Porter looks like he face planted but he didn't. He and Logan were racing and he tries to go so fast and wiggles his little butt on that seat and lost his balance. He caught himself but being dramatic as he is he put himself down on the ground and told me he couldn't go anymore. We got Logan his big boy bike for his birthday, yes it's early but in November he might not be able to enjoy it as much. He's having a lot of fun with it, and can finally ride it really well by himself.

We've heard from almost everyone this apple orchard is a must see and do here. Brandon had monday off so we went and checked it out. They had awesome doughnuts and cider. The apple picking was fun, but we got way more than I think we'll be able to eat. We're all pretty appled out here. For those of you who lived in Iowa, Carrolls Pumpkin Patch was definately better, but this will do while we're here.

To pick the apples you rode on a tractor pulled wagon and it dropped you off and then another one came around and picked you up and dropped you off at the next spot. When this first happened the boys thought the tractor was leaving us and they took off after it. The top picture is one Porter took of us while we were waiting for the tractor to come, pretty good.

We're loving the Fall season, it really is beautiful here. We're getting excited my mom is coming out here this week. I'm so excited to see her. The boys can't wait either.
