Mr. Whinny Pants!!!

It feels like our first official day of summer.  The boys spent the night with my in laws Sunday night and Monday night so I don't feel like the craziness has begun.  The boys left here around 6:30 Sunday.  Came home to swim with their cousins for a couple of hours on Monday but today at 1:00 they were officially MINE!  I was so looking forward to them coming home.  We were going to go get Kaleb some swim shorts because he doesn't have enough. He's getting to the age that he wants to pick them out.  Then head to All American Swim for new goggles and start the summer reading program at the library.

Yeah, right!!  The second Kaleb walked in the door his first question was "what fun things are we gonna do today?"  I told him my plans because swim lessons started at 2:55.  We should have plenty of time.  Then we can go to the gym and play.  He whined and said he wanted to watch T.V. instead.  Then Austin walks in the door with the exact same question.  I told him my answer and he cried hysterically.  All I could think is WELCOME SUMMER.

Why was I sooooo looking forward to this?  I absolutely love having the boys here but why oh why do they act this way?  I've got to get on a new schedule because I'm a schedule freak.  Once I get them used to it they will be okay(I hope).  I'm not looking forward to it.  I'm gonna try and stick with our normal morning routine.  Breakfast 7-7:30, shower 7:30-8, and free time 8-8:30.  Then we will head to the gym or start running errands.  That's a goal!  I'm not sure if it's gonna happen:-)  Oh, how I love my sleep!      

I would say about every 7 minutes Austin was whining about something.  I finally had to lock myself in a bedroom with the TV turned loud just to tune him out.  It was that bad.  Everything I would say he would argue, whine, cry hysterically.  I know he was acting like that because he was exhausted.  I couldn't be mad at him because it wasn't his fault.  They got in bed late two nights in a row and didn't sleep great either night.  He finally just put himself to bed!  I get so tickled when the boys do that.  You can definitely tell that there mine! 

They both did great at swim lesson but as soon as Austin was back with me he changed into his other personality.  Brian's out of town so we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and Austin wanted a table for himself.  Ha!  What a brat.  I should have stayed home and cooked him macaroni just to be mean.  He hates macaroni.  I of coarse wouldn't do that so I put up with his whiny butt the entire time and even came home and swam with them.  I always want my kids to remember that I played with them and did fun things but man, sometimes they make it so hard for me to have fun!  I was expecting so much more out of today.  My prayers tonight are that tomorrow Brian makes it home safely and Austin gets a lot of sleep tonight.   Mr. Whinny pants makes me crazy............
