I was running, while holding my potty training daughter who had taken off her panties, to the bathroom once and right as we got into the bathroom she dropped a bomb on the carpet and I totally stepped in it! And then, because I didn't know I had stepped in it, I tracked it all across the bathroom. (Who in the world puts carpet in a bathroom anyways?!) It was awful!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076655268503965107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-61107604235026483332012-05-22T19:38:13.963-07:002012-05-22T19:38:13.963-07:00Never heard of it...

They are an indie rock worship band that sing straight Scripture. They are *amazing!* Good for the soul; and you know what's even better? When my kiddos sing these songs. You won't be disappointed. Another fabulous band (geared for kids, but we love them, too!) is "The Rizers," from Mars Hill Church (Driscoll's church). Again, these folks sing straight Scripture. Love, love. Seriously. You will too!The McKayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510946072678674632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-59953269819514256592012-05-22T16:03:50.045-07:002012-05-22T16:03:50.045-07:00I'm tired.

I even slept through the night (except for waking up to bring my 2 year old downstairs, my 6 years old climbing into our bed and then getting up to get him a heating pad and putting him in his own bed). Why am I so tired? Nope, not pregnant... just sooooo tired.

When my now six year old was 4, we stopped to run the car thru the car wash. After I paid and sat in the line waiting to drive the car thru the tunnel, he started to cry that he didn't want to wash the car THIS way! He wanted to go home and wash it with the hose! Well, I had already paid, couldn't get out of the line if I wanted to, and didn't want to wash the car with the hose. I explained all that and in response he began to thru an unholy fit which included pitching his shoes at me and unbuckling himself from his car seat. I exited the tunnel and drove 10 feet to the vacuums, got out of the car and opened the back door to buckle him back in----and found him completely naked!!! Itwas then that I strapped the child back into his car seat and drove him home stark naked. It would have been an interesting story to explain had I gotten pulled over for speeding!<br /><br />Tracey<br />http://garciamania.blogspot.comTraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890053689853540957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-74332971683326615592012-05-22T14:17:31.519-07:002012-05-22T14:17:31.519-07:00Oh I have so many stories!!

The most recent was when we took a trip to visit some family members who we rarely see, they had a little pool set up for the kids and of course my 2 year old would be the one who decided he needed to poop in his swim diaper (we all know those things were not made to hold poop!) so there was poop floating in the pool, kids screaming, Grandma trying to clean the pool while I wrangled my son to change him! It was slightly embarrassing, but just one of many moments we've encountered in the last 2 years!<br /><br />I absolutely love your blog, I stop by every day, but rarely leave comments.
