It's Raining Kool Aid and Hailing Poop!

Yesterday Sienna our almost 3 year old learned how to open the doors that have the childproof doorknob covers on them. There are two big problems with this. The first problem is the obvious fear that she will get outside and the issue of her (and her twin brother) entering rooms we don't want them in. The second problem with this, and this is the big one, is we use these covers on the inside of their doors to keep them in their rooms during naptime and at night (I know... we are terribly abusive parents!)! We are especially concerned about her getting up in the night and us not hearing her. The 1st thing she does after opening her door is open her twin brothers door to let him out, and believe me... he is trouble with a capital T! Last night there were no escapes thankfully, but this afternoon they were up and out of their rooms from naptime an hour earlier then normal and I was NOT ready. Gavin immediately grabbed my teenagers large cup of blue Kool Aid and dumped it all over the floor! After cleaning up that disaster I sat down to change diapers/pull ups and Sienna decided to yank off her poop filled pull up with force and I was hit in the chest... 3 times.... with poop! Did you here me!!!!! I was shot at.....with poop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think moms of multiples or moms with more than three kids ( I fit in both those categories) should have an ongoing prescription for Xanax until the youngest child or in my case children turns 18. Just sayin....

Suicidal Fish...

I left my teenager to babysit while I went to run errands. As I was hurrying out the door I realized I hadn't turned the fish tank light on or fed the fish. I left immediately after feeding the fish and about 30 minutes later I get a text message from my teenager. Its a picture of a dead fish in his hand with a message underneath saying Ethan (6yr old) found this on the floor! I'm assuming it jumped out of the tank without me noticing when I opened the lid to feed the fish. It's pretty sad that my house is so crazy that even the fish are committing suicide! We've had that stupid $2.00 fish for 2 years! He got tired of watching the madness through the glass and decided he could no longer wait for old age and offed himself!
