Later after lunch I am on the phone with the YW Pres talking about church business when Teagan yells from the front room, "Mom, Talmage is dirty!" I run in to find Talmage covered with black stamping ink from my stamp pad. I grab him to pick him up and starts kicking his legs, which smears black ink all across my cream colored carpet. GRRR! I promptly put him in the bath and everything he touches turns black. He soaks while I calm down, then have to clean out the carpet while fight off kids with each scrub down. ( they think that everytime I get on my hands and knees it horsey ride time.) along with these minor incidents he keeps soiling himself, even after I remind him to go (Hello, he has been potty trained for over a month !!!) I think I'm going to strangle the kid, but miraculously, he is still alive and I have to post the day so that I can look back and think, It wasn't that bad. 
While I'm trying to get the ball point stains out in the back bathroom he comes in after awhile with an empty pack of gum ( the 20 stick count), "Look what I just ate mom!" Great. (At least he now has minty fresh breath)
Trent went to Fresno for Monday and Tuesday last week. We got a new exchange student from Japan that Sunday. Talmage was a terror on Tuesday, Here is a run down of my 'wonderful' day. Talmage starts off the morning yelling, 'I WANT CHICKEN NUGGETS" (this is for breakfast mind you.) I never give him chicken nuggets for breakfast but he thinks one day I will, well today he throws a tantrum, yes, He is 3 1/3, it was pretty bad. Later that morning he gets a hold of a ball point pen and scribbles all over his bed, Teagan's bed and the extra bed in Thomas's room, plus the pillow cases. This is just a small sample of his artwork.

Blake could dance around all day saying he doesn't have to go to the bathroom. He waits too long and would end up not making it in time. So Jerek came up with the pee stand. When Blake's dancing around and we tell him to go to the bathroom he insists that he doesn't have to go. So he has to do the pee stand, which is standing with his legs far apart and his arms up in the air and he can't move. If he moves, he goes to the bathroom, no argument! (And we only do the pee stand when we know he has to go and he insists that he doesn't have too.) It worked for us, he actually enjoyed doing it to see if he could stand still. :O)
