One of those days

Today has just been one of those days. Ya know the ones that seem like they're 48 hours long. I was going to take the kids to the zoo today. As I was getting the kids ready to leave, something made me check the website to see how late they were open. They are open until 5pm like 364 days of the year, today is the one day they close at 2pm and it's 1pm so we're not going anywhere. Things just go downhill from here. We let Brady give up his nap a couple of weeks ago and I think it finally hit him today. I was also up with him a few times in the middle of the night last night. The first time he called me into his room at 2am was because he had "peanuts in his nose" and wanted me to blow it. He's cried about so many things today that I've completely lost track. A time-out (dumping a Costco -aka ginormous- bag of Wheat Thins onto the floor) that should have lasted 2 minutes turned into 30 minutes of pure drama because he refused to pick them up.

These pictures were taken yesterday when I found the kids sitting in the backyard looking through their "binoculars" aka viewfinders.

As you can see Brady is actually dressed AND wearing big boy underwear! And he's already peed outside like 20 times - I totally get it now.

Your day sounds crummy! Sorry!! I am very impressed with the day time clothes on. That means it is a great day here when everyone is dressed! Those pics are hilarious! And congrats on giving into peeing outside. Life is so much easier huh! I was laughing at Ann's comment from the other post because I do that all the time for Carter! The worst is he knows he can do that so he will drop the drawers at the car tire all the time now. Everyone at the mall has seen his tushie!
