Another Day in Paradise...



The Culprit...
The Instigator...
The Damage...

So, last week was just one of those days as a mommy that I felt like my whole world was gonna crumble.  I was out with the kiddies running some errands, and I noticed how quiet they were all being.  So, I thought they had all fallen asleep.  I turned around to check on them and to my shock found Logan playing with his formula can.  What once was a full can of formula, was now completely empty.  The Formula was Everywhere!!  And I mean EVERYWHERE!!  In Logan's eyes, mouth, clothes, carseat, on Jordyn and all over the car.  Jordyn took the liberty of giving him things to "shut him up".  And apparently the formula can worked...at least for a little bit, because once I noticed what was going on he started screaming.  I was mortified and so frustrated with the kids!  I called Aaron to tell him what happened and he busted out laughing (even though I was on the verge of tears).  So I had him meet me and help me clean them all up.  If he was gonna laugh at me, then he could help me clean up...lol.  One thing I learned that day was to enjoy life and not be so paranoid.  Our kids are far from perfect, but enjoy all the bad moments anyways.  What was a moment of anger and frustration, turned into laughter and memories.  I'll never forget that day, but now it is just happy memories I'll remember.  Thanks honey for alway inspiring me to be better.

Hey Stephanie!! I saw your blog on Lori's facebook! I love how the internet gets us all connected again!! I am sorry to hear about the mess. How long did it take to clean that up? And did the smell go away?

Oh, fun! I didn't know you had one too! I'll add you right now. :) Yay!!
It took a good 15-20 min to get the initial mess off of Daniel and Jordyn. Then I took it the car to get vacumed out and that took about another 30 min. The sad thing is I was cleaning out the car yes, and it still had some formula mess. Formula is hard to get out! LOL...gotta love the kiddies!
