1) I walked by the boys room noticing that their beds needed to be straightened. They do make their beds, but have added an extra blanket to their bed and it is harder for them, so I wanted them to look nice. Why? I have no idea....it is a feeling of accomplishment, something concrete that screams that I take care of the house! So, I started fixing them when I heard....
2) JAKE!!! Our dog's name being screamed at the top of both their lungs followed by tears could only mean one thing since they were finishing breakfast! Yup, Jake had proceeded to grab Brody's sausage patty right off the plate. So, then I had to kennel the dog, console my youngest child, and cook a new piece of sausage for him.
3) Then since I had already done the other dishes, I went to clean the pan a little to early and even burned my hand.
4) I took out the recycle trash which included the box from the new sausage.
5) Then I headed back down the hall and back to their room at last...While finishing the beds, I noticed that a few books and toys did not make it back on the shelves. Well, since they were giong to help wrap, I could help with that, right?
6) Then I was summoned back to the kitchen to peel a banana for Brody (and backwards I might add, from the end that no one peels from!)
7) While in the kitchen, I noticed the dryer stopped so I checked the laundry that I had going and after folding clothes from the dryer and moving the washed load into the dryer, I realized something...
I was going to blog about this and had to stop the insanity.
So, I got the box!
Can anyone say....Laura Numeroff??? Maybe her next big hit will be,

If you give a mom a minture she will make the beds,
