Ok so these are so the words I know I mean I know  my husband thinks probably every day when he comes home.  I have only been a stay at home mom  for a year this April. But I am sure he envisioned it being so

me what different. I know he enjoys not having to take the Chickens to daycare anymore ( he would take them and  I would pick them up) this required him to get up early and help get the kids dressed in the morning etc.  And now he can just get up and be out the door in 15 min. Darn men and their ability to do that.  But I know he was thinking that maybe the house would be a bit cleaner and supper might be a little more planned and probably on time too. Because when he came home yesterday seriously his face was priceless and I had even warned him the house looked like it threw up.  I said  “I told you” he said “I know you weren’t kidding.”

So I will tell you how yesterday was at the Moffett household it was a typical day.  So we got up well.. not early… I am a huge night owl and a huge sleeper in so therefore I have made my kids the same way. They go to bed between 8 and 9 so it usually ends up being 9:30 or 10 I know aweful but really by the time you get them dressed, teeth brushed and story read it can really take a lot of time. But I digress ew big word but we got up around 9 well that is we woke up and then we all laid in bed watching cartoons until around 10. So then I got up and got on my computer and checked Facebook and Twitter my new obsession and maybe right a post.  The kids usually end up climbing on top of me while I do this and Kyboo always  ends up in my lap.. Then I got a shower which is never quick because you always get interrupted “hey mommy what are you doing”" Kyra hit me” etc. Kyra is crying about something. I know you moms understand that you never have a moment to yourself unless you are in the shower and not always then either. So by the time I got dressed and got the Chickens dressed it was 11:30  and I decided since it was sooo beautiful outside we should go to the park. So we went to one of our wonderful local parks Herdklotz  run by the Greenville Recreation Disctrict it’s a great park anyway  the kids played.. There were a lot of other moms in the little baby fenced in park you know the kind of moms who are the size of a pencil after they have had 3 kids and are so preppy looking and their kids only wear gap clothes and they drive enormious SUV’s that can seat like 10 people?  I am not one of those moms.  So Mason is 3 and really likes the “big” playground and since it was less crowded  we ventured up there  which was actually a big deal for me  because the big playground has always scared me with Mason it has the big slides that are really high off the ground. But it was fun Kyra just walked around and Mason did some stuff on there I did not know he was big enough to do and I realized how big my baby is getting.

So then we were hungry and decided to head over to The Purple Kitchen my sister’s cafe.   She serves  absolutely the  best Chicken Salad in Greenville and Mason loves it because Aunt Dana is a personal favorite of his and she also make great cupcakes and  cakes. So we went there and had a very yummy lunch and of course dessert. Then we went to Walmart we were out of the neccessary stuff like toilet paper and diapers. We also had to get a birthday present for a friend. Mason was invited to his first birthday party… well his first non family birthday party because he has a million cousins. So he was very excited to pick out the birthday present for his friend Adia. Kids so do not understand the price of things because he was picking out all the really expensive toys at least he wants to be generious. =_)  So then I made the mistake and went to the clothes section the little girl clothes section anyway I will gloss over  that and just say we ended up with a few cute outfits and a new pair of shoes for one Kyboo. And most of the clothes and the shoes were purple. =-) Then we bought bubble swords yeah they did not have neat things like this when I was a kid. These long sword shaped things filled with  bubbles.  So we take all of our loot home and it’s about 3:30 by this time. Which would of been a great time for me to clean the house and put the kids down for a quick nap. But nope we head outside to the front yard to blow bubbles then dropped by the pool to cool our feet before we went inside. That was fun… Mason wanted to know why it was so messy he is a bit of a neat freak but he had fun.   Then my 16 year old nephew came over to put some music  on his itouch and he stayed for a while… We chatted while he downloaded some stuff and the kids just crawled all over. Mason LOVES Justin and was talking to him and crawling up in his lap. And that is how Ben found us when he came home at six. The house trashed and us just lounging around like I said the look on his face was priceless and I knew he was thinking that line “What do you do all day anyway?

So my reply to him is we had fun we made some fun memories and I will try and at least have the kitchen clean tomorrow.    Speaking of which guess I better get ready for that birthday party this afternoon. Maybe I will have time to work on the kitchen after the party before he gets home ….. =-)
