Joys of Boys

This week has been a whirlwind. We are always on the go. We spend 3 fun, long days at Brent's brothers house working on their Caterpillar so they can clear their land. Karson had a blast playing with Kambell and riding their toy gator. We get home at midnight and up again the next day for Library, errands, etc. Long days with limited naps. Then on Wedn up early to go help Brent at the farm and home for quick baths, nap, and to tumbling and church. Needless to say, the boys have been off any form of schedule they were close to being on and are extremely tired. When they get tired, they fight naps. This happened after the time change and has struck again. They will lay in bed and play for hours. They get busted, toys and scooters taken away, food treats taken away, tv taken away, books taken away, you name it. One day they had one toy and one book for three days. Nothing seems to work not even rewards. Then one day they will start napping again. Anyway, today was one of those days. They tossed and turned for hour and half. Korbin finally went to sleep and then Karson did after 2 and half hours. Then they sleep for 2-3 hours. Horrible being stuck for that long!! Then tonight I had to tutor at 8. The boys and I went on a late walk with MeMe so it was late eating supper. Basically, they fended for themselved and had cereal and bananas while I tutored. So as I am working with 2 boys, they are climbing the cabinents, food is everywhere, Karson even attempts to get the milk out. Then they begin to play screaming and yelling. At one point my kitchen floor is covered with dirt from my plants they were playing in instead of sitting in time-out. I am ready to pull my hair out. The whole time Kelton is talking and screaming loudly with them. Finally students leave and the boys go to bed-no book, no Bible, no tooth brushing. Just bed and prayers and screaming fit. So I go clean up the kitchen. Here is the joyous part of boys!!!
Brent finally gets home from Odessa with the horses. He goes in to tell the boys goodbye and notices something hard under the bed. Karson has put 10-12 cars under his blanket(toys are in time-out). Karson looks up at Daddy, smiles, and says "Shhh, I'm hiding them." What can you do for that??? Brent just laughs and showers!!
