A Wet and Wild Weekend

Well this weekend was a little different than I had planned. Of course after 15 months, I have realized that plans are made to be altered. On Friday afternoon there were storms moving in to the area. Sandy had just put Brody down for a little afternoon nap when I pulled up and she wanted me to stay for a while until the storms passed and Brody woke up. So I did. My mother-in-law is a wonderful person and such a blessing to me!! She honestly treats me like her daughter and I can't even begin to explain how much she has done for Brody, Anna and Joseph. She keeps them all four days a week, usually. Adam stays home on Wednesdays and sometimes Bobbie Lyn is off on Fridays. She loves it. I really wonder how she does it sometimes. There have been a lot of times I have called and she has all of them asleep. It's amazing!!
Anyway, I stayed and helped her fix dinner. Well really I just chopped some vegetables for the tacos she was doing all the work. The rest of the gang came down in a little while and we all visited for a while.
On Saturday morning we took the kids to a local church to have their pictures made together. We had them all dressed in overalls, white t-shirts, and barefoot. They looked adorable. Brody is such a Ham, he just grinned the whole time. Brody and I went to Wal-mart to get a few things and went back home to play with daddy. Brody and Daddy took a nap while I did a few things around the house and when they got up we went outside to play for a little while. It was cold though, so much to Brody's disapproval, we didn't stay long. Sandy called and said she had a big pot of chili and needed us to help eat it all.
Sunday morning is where both the "wet" and "wild" come in. Brody was playing with my phone while I was doing some dishes and getting ready for church. After church, I was looking for my phone everywhere. I called it and everything and couldn't find it. When I finally found it, it was very wet. He had thrown it into the toilet. I made Adam get it out and we decided that we would have to go to Crossville and get another phone. While we were getting ready to go, Brody was playing. He went over to the end table and grabbed one of our wedding photos . He thought it would be fun to see how far it would go. It didn't go far but the glass in the frame busted everywhere. That is the wild part. Our little man has become somewhat of a wild man lately. It's pretty funny.
We go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon for his 15 month check-up. Pray for us as Brody gets shots. They can be very traumatic and I am a little worried about the MMR. I have prayed about it and feel like I am doing the right thing.

HAha! The fun is only beginning! Think back to your brothers at that age and beyond! I can think of a lot of times, they were "wet" and "wild". I hope I get a boy this time!! I don't know Gracie is pretty wild herself!!

Boys are definitely wet and wild! They just dont compare to girls... I have seen Connor play with girls and he is so much more well "wild"! ha! Good luck at the doctor tomorrow- it will be OK. I prayed and prayed about the MMR also, but decided to go forth with the advice of the doctor and many other studys I found. I thought it was the right thing also, and even though you hate to see them in pain, I just keep telling myself that they will not remember this later. It hurts in the moment, but is necessary to prevent worse things from happening. Brody is tough, he will be fine!
