Yuck Yuck Yuck Yuck!

This evening was a rough night. As I started getting the kids ready for bath, I removed Cameron's diaper and let he and Gracie run around naked as I prepared their bath. WELL......I started to smell a little something funky. I turned to find Cameron's feet and hands full of poop. YUP, poop. As I picked him up to try and clean his feet, his little bottom was dirty and got all over my shirt. I cleaned him up, put him in the bath, changed shirt and cleaned up the "mess". After I cleaned up and was prepared to bathe him, I realized there was poop in the bath. I had to drain the water, take him out, wash the tub in hot water and start all over again. I was hesitate to let him play fearing it would happen again, but I needed a break. As I was picking up the room, I kept thinking, I still smell it! I turned and found this large area of poop. I have NO idea what happened to little Cam tonight, but it was everywhere! As I'm trying to spray some cleaner to soak, he & Gracie are screaming in the background. I get them out one by one knowing I still have a lot of cleaning to do. Already exhausted, I muster up the energy to steam clean the carpet. I have NEVER experienced this before. It was the most digusting mess I have ever seen. Most of my evenings are hectic, but this one topped them all.

As I sit here trying to enjoy my glass of wine, I try to find some positive to such a crazy evening---my carpets are clean.

Growing Up!

It has been extremely busy for us lately. The weeks and days feel like a blur. The kids started their first day of school on August 25th. I cried as Gracie & Cameron held hands and walked into school so independently.
Kenny's latest project is restoring a 1961 Cadillac, as you can see, Cameron is also enjoying being part of this "project".I LOVE MY BABIES......each day they bring new joys into my life. Gracie's latest....Kenny is her new "BFF". It melts my heart each time I hear her. The other morning, Kenny said "good morning Gracie" as she walked into her restroom. Gracie replied "good morning my BFF". How cute is that?
Don't they look so peaceful?
Lastly, our little soon to be 5 year old has been extremely busy. She started Ballet/Tap class two weeks ago. OMG, she looks gorgeous in her little dance outfit. She really loves the tap/ballet shoes. She has learned how do to arabesque, pirouette and the shuffle. Her teacher says Gracie is very attentive and asks alot of questions. Today, she had her first piano lesson. We opted to do in-home for the convenience factor and there was only about a $16 difference. As Gracie met Ms. Ashley, Gracie asks "are you going to help me learn how to play How Great Thou Art". I wanted to run into the music room and squeeze her. She really enjoyed her class! I can't wait until next week.
Her homework!
Doesn't he look so happy? We've been trying to go up to the playroom a little more since the treadmill "incident". I LOVE THOSE CHEEKS.
