A very Dilly Day

Today has been…well, a very Dilly day. Now I realize I don't update my blog very often, but after reading how this day went...you might understand why :) I didn’t realize the amount of activity, or should a say “mischief” of this day until I started reflecting on it as I was driving home from the gym after teaching a class. Let’s start from the beginning:

1) 1) I go down stairs to a happy shining Alex and Dillon on the couch drinking chocolate milk. After smiles and hugs, I look in the kitchen to see that a full cereal box has been dumped on the floor. I look at the boys and Dilly immediately points to Alex and says “alee did it” which makes me know for absolute certain that is was Dillon.

2) 2) After getting the house cleaned, and preparing to leave for the gym to teach a morning class, Dillon throws up that yummy chocolate milk on the carpet because he coughed too hard.

3) After the gym we head to the grocery store. I let the boys our of the cart for 5 seconds when Dillon sticky hands grabs a rollos and heath candy bar and has them both open in record time. We added those items to our grocery list

4) Now we are home. Dillon runs in the house, grabs a small size ball and a soccer ball, takes them to the bathroom and shoves them down the toilet. After I get them out he picks up the “wet balls” and says “ooh, wet,” throws one of them at Alex and starts wiping his hands on me. GROSE.

5) It’s nap time! Nope, Dillon wakes himself up in 20 min. after coughing too hard. After feeling in his diaper if he pooped, he finds out that he did and runs over to show me he did! Now it’s on his finger which is waving in front of my face and dropping on my pillow.

6) We go downstairs. Somehow he finds that dang soccer ball, kicks it at the wall, knocks off one of my large family pictures which now shatters glass all over the floor. He looks at me and yells “no, no, no mommy!” as if to take the words right out of my mouth.

7) Dilly now decides its snack time. He climbs up the pantry shelves to get to the chips knocking the chocolate milk to the floor which goes everywhere. Another mess.

8) Now Alex is up and we are working on a project in the kitchen in which Dillon decides to get in all the stickers and apply at least 25 stickers all over the course of his body (including his eyes) we did have fun taking those off J

9) Me and Alex are making dinner when I smell smoke and look over to see that Dillon has pulled a chair over to the microwave, put Sams keys, cell phone, wallet, a nickel and penny inside and started the thing on high. As I was running over to turn it off Dillon says “ooh, pretty mom!”

10) I leave for class. Sam is now on Dilly duty. He is showering after his run and gets out of the shower to find Dillon has taken his pants and diaper off, found the nail clippers and was bringing them over towards his…tenders if you will, ready to pinch them.

11) As I come inside after having finished teaching class, I see Sam on the floor cleaning up a chocolate milk spill, done by none other than…Dilly J

12) 8:45 He finally sleeps. All is calm.
