   Guess I forgot to mention that Dylan and Jacob spent the night. Daddy will be off on drill with the Guard next weekend, and Dylan and Jacob will be here next weekend as well while Mommy is working.

   I can’t take them outside because it’s still too wet and Mommy left strict instructions about not jumping in mud puddles. The kids are supposed to stay out of them, too.

   Nah, but the kids will rat me out as soon as Mommy gets them. Although Jacob just pointed out as well that Mommy’s not here!

   So far this morning, Jacob has had 2 bowls of cereal, 2 bacon strips, tater tots, a banana, cheese crackers, and now he wants me to make pudding. Dylan has been in the time out chair again for tackling his brother so that he spilled the cereal on the floor, and Dylan has been eating all morning, too. I’ve changed 2 poopy diapers, vacuumed the carpets twice, and kept the living room window from being smashed by Dylan about 14 times.

   Jacob assures me that he is starving and has to have pudding now. Off to the stove again!

   Detour from stove. Jacob just whacked Dylan with the Spiderman chair because he wouldn’t move out of the way. Off to the time out chair for Jacob, who is sobbing because he’s in trouble with Meemaw. Dylan, on the other hand, just sits there quietly whenever he gets the chair.

   Sigh. Now Dylan is in another time out chair for whacking Jacob while he was in the time out chair.

   Meemaw is about to need to go to the time out chair.

   I told the boys they could leave the time out chairs just as soon as they promised not to whack each other with toys and hug each other.

   They’re still in the time out chairs. Heh.

   Swampie, here’s what you do, and believe me, as one of three boys, it works.
   Tell them they get no food, and can’t get out of the timeout status, until they kiss each other, and say they are sorry.

   Heh. I kept them in the chairs without pudding until they hugged and said they were sorry.

   /Kissing was too cruel and unusual.

    No it’s not, it is a powerful deterrent for future transgressions, and limits testing.
    Glad they calmed down.
    I would relate what my grandson has done in the past few days, but I think I would lock up all the bandwidth in the innernut, in the telling.

    Just a little high spirited today because they got to come to spend the night with Meemaw, I suppose.

    Well, I gave in and we went outside to play and Jacob dug looking for the entrance to a tunnel that contained pirate treasure (unfortunately, I fear we’re too far inland for Blackbeard’s treasure), fed the chickens and horse, swang on the swings, and came inside to feed the younguns again. Then off to the bathtub and a nap for Dylan, and tower building for Jacob.

    Then Daddy arrived to pick them up, and it took about an hour for the boys to get one final session finished on the swing, tell the animals goodbye, collect their assorted clothes, toys, blankets, get a last snack to tide them over in case they starve on the drive home (we went through 3/4 of a gallon of milk since 6:00 this morning. I think they’ll live), get some juice for daddy who bicycled 50-some miles this morning with his bicycle club, and then off they went!

    I need a nap. And to vacuum, wash dishes, get lil finger and nose prints off the windows, scrub the kitchen floor, and sop up the water off the tile floor in the bathroom from squirt guns and water footballs.

    SwampMan is yelling “Baby, where’s all the spoons?” in the kitchen. Oh, yeah. I asked Jacob where his and Dylan’s spoons were when I was cleaning off the table. “I washed them with my tongue, Meemaw, and put them away for you!” was the reply I got. So, the silverware tray got dumped to load in the dishwasher, too.

    SwampMan’s momma used to make the boys kiss and make up.

    They still don’t get along.

    Yep. The pessimism today does give one pause.
