Bentley is a cool dude with his shades on! Oh I LOVE me some sunshine!
Oh what a morning here at the Erhart household! Tayten and I are the 1st ones to get up. (besides Jade who is off to work by 5:30 am) We are off to a great start to our morning routine! Tayten got dressed and ate his breakfast and in the mean time Mr. Bentley Bop got up (we call him Bee Bop shawda wada) and don't ask? I think we got it from the Grease movie when they sing the song, "We go Together" anyway I made some juice out of the frozen can... strawberry apple banana juice yummy right?! In your mouth not on my floor! Tayten decided it would be a great idea to try and reach the juice out of the top of the refrigerator and it was full to the brim and heavy, but you know 6 year olds...they can lift anything and do anything! They are big kids now! Well juice spilt EVERYWHERE! He looked at me waiting for my reaction and I really wanted to scream! I hate sticky messes! But I didn't scream I made him get a paper towel and clean himself up and then wipe off the floor and then of course I lectured him about asking for help. He felt bad and so did I so I had a little talk with him and explained to him I wasn't mad but next time just ask for help. We hugged and I gave him a kiss, told him to be kind to others, and a quick prayer for a great day and off to the bus he went. Within 20 minutes of Tayten leaving for school Bentley decided to sneak his cup of juice from breakfast onto the little table in the living room and I am sure you can just about guess what happens? Well Harper made her way to the table and as I sat there chit chatting with my sister I heard a splash on the floor and watched the little blue cup fall. I closed my eyes and said out loud NO NO that didn't just happen and I walked away and ran Harper some water for her bath since she was covered in sticky juice. I seriously thought for a minute maybe if I walk away it will just disappear off my floor?? Well thanks to my lovely sister it did but in most cases it doesn't just "disappear". Then I took a minute and thought to myself Erica its juice not the end of the world get over it and move on! A little pep talk is all it took (don't you love giving yourself your own pep talk when your having a pitty party) then I jumped back on the good mood train! I was looking forward to a nice 3 mile run since I had gotten Harper down for a nap and my sister didn't have to work until 11:45 so I got ready to run! I told Bentley he could come with mommy for a run since we have a single jogging stroller. ( we need a double!) I had asked my lovely husband to put air in the tires and get it ready sometime last week. So we got outside and I go to get the stroller and turns out Jade forgot about it. Now Bentley is having a melt down and I am "crying over spilt juice" because of the morning I had and now I can't even enjoy my run! (poor me right!?) Anyway I called the hubster and complained (poor guy as if he can do anything about it at work) it just feels good sometimes to complain and tell him he forgot to do something....Yes, I am working on trying not to do that I know its not nice! I decided to take the Bee Bop on a bike ride instead. So I didn't burn as many calories as I needed and wanted but at least we got a little exercise and more importantly some one on one time! We even picked some lilacs to bring home and put in the vase (is that legal when your at a park?!) The moral of my morning is sometimes you just need to cry over spilt juice and get over it with some fresh air and flowers! Anyway its a beautiful day so enjoy it! My home will remain a mess today while I enjoy being outside with my babes! Love and Blessings!!!
