Just one of those days.



Today has been a rough day as far as child rearing goes.  I have had to be on the phone a lot because of the upcoming Christmas Bazaar that I am in charge of.  Why is it that every time the phone rings or I make a call the kids go crazy!  It's driving me mad because they just go nuts!  For example, every time I answered the the phone Claire would start screaming or rile up Ben to scream.  That sounds professional doesn't it?!  There is nothing like trying to convince people to join your bazaar like crazy people screaming "I want to eat you!" in the background of the conversation.  At one point I was on the phone and Ben was just licking the fireplace.  I didn't even know what to do or say to get him to stop.  I can't just yell over the phone "Stop licking the fireplace!".  That might sound bad.  The pictures are what happened next.  They found the mask in the closet.  It is loud with real sounds.  Again there is nothing like trying to explain to a potential vendor to choose your bazaar like hearing in the background "YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE" or "DON'T MAKE ME DESTROY YOU".  This is the kind of day I have been having.
