Shenanigans

I had such a great game plan. Such forethought. This morning I had Bible study at 9:30. Steven stayed the night last night out in Lago Vista for a hunting expedition early this morning. So I knew I'd be on my own this morning. I had my Bible and workbook all packed, diaper bag ready, coffee pot ready to brew in the morning, and alarm set for 7:00 so I could get up before the kids and shower.
At 6:00 I heard Will making noises. Then the cat chimed in. At 6:30 I heard muted, pitiful whining coming from Matt's room. And the cat continued to complain. At 6:50 I finally got up. The fact that I set an alarm now makes me laugh. I opened Matt's door and he told me that he was cold and that he needed to go potty. He talked in his loud 3 year old voice all the way down the hall and of course the little one heard him and started to chat as well. Matt asked me if Will was awake. I said yes. But, I told him that I wanted to keep Will in there so I could get a quick shower. "Okay Mommy, I'll just go play." Wonderful. I emerged from the bathroom to find Will's door opened and the light on. Matt was sitting on the floor playing with Will's toys, and Will was happily chatting in his bed holding a rattle that Matt had given him. Matthew: "He was awake, Momma, so I just gave him a toy." Sigh. Honestly, it was pretty sweet, but we did have to talk about that part where I'd asked him NOT to go into Will's room. Thankfully, Will was fine with it. It just shows what a sweet natured, laid-back kid that he is that he didn't resort to crying at any point from the time he woke up at 6:00. Although, he whined a little once he saw my face staring at him.
It was funny. Oh, and I did make it to Bible study. On time! Now my early risers are enjoying nice, long naps.
Isn't that just so cozy and cute?And this is Matt's latest bathroom art creation. I like that Pooh is in the potty chair. And it's like he's gazing down from his throne at all his loyal bathroom subjects.
