The 2% Day and more...

Last Saturday, Dwane and I looked at each other and instantly both rolled our eyes at the same time.  Do you ever have those days when the kids are just out of control?  I felt like the crazy Mom on the side lines at the softball game.  It was...
"Don't sit on the wall, you'll fall" 
"No you and Kate both can't sit there"
"Stop fighting"
"No those treats are for the team"
"Don't take anymore ice out of the cooler"
"Do you need a time out?"
"Go talk to your Dad"
"Do we need to go for a walk?"
"You need sunscreen"
"No the game is not over"
"Stop"
"NO"
"Stop"
"NO".....
It was  a 2% day!  I can honestly tell you 98% of the time the kids are amazing, but the 2% was in its full glory.  Thank goodness they don't come around too often. (I wish I was good 98% of the time...)

The Value of a Penny
I have come to experience that a child can suck on a penny off the ground at the airport and survive.  Alexa did it and she is still here with us!  I keep reminding myself (so I don't get sick) that she has strengthened her immune system.  Her comment was she didn't have anywhere else to put it! KIDS!!!!!

ANTS
I know that God created all living things, but I can NOT be an ant supporter!!! Especially when they are in my house. (I'm okay if they stay in their house) Ohhh! they drive me crazy! I'm up for any suggestions on favorite extermination plans.
