Riley Says

I wasn't just teasing. I will post about Brittney later. She'll probably be mad that I do but then if she wouldn't have done it in the first place, she wouldn't have to worry about me posting about it. Maybe Monday. Tomorrow is church and then family pictures!

It didn't even feel like I had time to think today. Steve worked at the bank this morning until noon, came home for lunch and to change clothes and then he headed to the Swiftel Center to work at the pool tournament. I expect he'll be home late tonight. Riley had football this morning but because it was so cold, I just dropped him off and came back home with the other kids so they wouldn't freeze for two hours.

I fed the kids lunch and put Sophia down for a nap. Just shortly after that, the doorbell rang repeatedly. When I say repeatedly, I mean like someone was holding their finger on the button and not letting up. Which was exactly what they were doing. I ran to the door to try to stop them before Sophia woke up. When I flung the door open, there stood three of Sophia's half siblings. Their grandma was in her pickup in our driveway. I closed the door behind me and yelled that Sophia was sleeping. She smiled, waved and backed out of the driveway. That was at about 2pm. She showed back up around 6pm. So I ended up with a few extra kids for the afternoon and for supper.

I now have four kids bathed/showered and in bed, one kid bathed and watching Dora in my bed and one kid on her way home from Watertown. I think it's time for me to decide what I'm having for supper and relax for a few minutes.

Anyway, here's the Riley Says:
Earlier this afternoon Riley, Anthony, Davey and Lonnie decided to play nerf war with Riley's nerf guns. They played for a while but, according to Riley, one of the guns needed to be cleaned. In the past, he's used q-tips to get down into the barrel. I told him that we didn't have any more because he'd used them all last time. He didn't believe me so he went to look for some while I continued to talk to Sara. He was gone a while and when he came back, he asked me, "Can I use the Security Tap-Ons?"

 I had no idea what he was talking about and said so. He replied, "They look like giant q-tips and have plastic and a string."

When I questioned where he found them and he said the bathroom, I had to try really hard not to laugh in his face. I simply told him they were girl stuff and he could not use them to clean his guns.

He had discovered a box labeled security TAMPONS!
