The Last Free Weekend

At least the last free one until mid-May. Here's how it went:

"Ryker, give Xander back his blanky."
"Xander, get off your brother."
"Ryker, we don't hit."
"Xander, no head-butting."
"That's it, you both have a time out!"

Repeat for 2.5 days. Because I have two pig-headed, strong-willed, rambunctious little boys (I wonder where they get those qualities from). Ryker likes to pick on Xander and Xander responds by tackling Ryker and pounding him into the ground. The last round was around 7:30 last night at which point the Mama and Daddy had enough and put them to bed. Which involved lots of crying and promising to be good and theatrics aplenty. We then had the discussion that usually follows this kind of weekend where we want to go back and tell our 25 year old selves to be satisfied with coupledom.
Lucky for those boys their cute and know how to snuggle us. And the big one says "I love you Mama." - Golden.

Thankfully next weekend we have to bowl and we can send them to the Grandparents for 4 hours. A blessed 4 hours where we don't have to yell at them or pull them off of each other or take things away or give time outs. MMM...sounds like a little piece of heaven.
