Today's flashbacks are coming from December of 2005 and September of 2008.
First, December of 2005. Hyrum is just over two years old in these pictures, the twins were a month old; life was crazy. Before I even had the twins I decided that I would try my hardest to make "special times" for Hyrum so that in the mist of chaos and uncertainty he would know that we loved him.One of the things I tried to do with him was pudding finger painting. As you can tell by the pictures, it didn't go so well. If I remember correctly I tried to do it at a time when the twins were asleep, but as you can see he was past the point of exhaustion in these pictures and was ready for his nap. I can't even remember if it was becuase he was tired that he was upset or if I did something. Maybe a mixture of both. Our painting session was very short. When I planned this activity for him I was so excited because I thought for sure that he would love it. Although he was grumpy, I think I got some great pictures out of the event. I think I will have to try pudding painting with him again.
Fast forward to September 2008. Hyrum is at preschool and I decided that I would do something fun with Ben and Emmy. As you will be able to see from the pictures I made the pudding too runny for finger painting for kids, big mistake! The kids had a blast! However, either the doorbell rang or the phone rang and I answered it since I was expecting my friend Angel to bring Hyrum home from school for me(one car at the time). I came back to high chair trays knocked off and tons of pudding splattered on the walls and on the floor! I decided it was bath time. I threw the kids in the tub with just a little bit of water and went to work cleaning the kitchen floor the quickest I could since I hate to leave them in the tub alone. The floor was a disaster and I knew there would be no way I would be able to clean it without them "helping" me. After a super quick cleaning job, I came into the bathroom and saw that Emmy pooped in the tub! I about died. I took Ben and Emmy out of the tub, cleaned the tub, washed them down again right as Hyrum came home. It was a very wild morning. I think Ben and Emmy had a good time though.
