Monday:

Monday seemed to start off just fine no tantrums or super bad behavior. I made them a yummy breakfast of crepes while Claire had her morning nap. All good.

The only thing I needed to do all day was to get a second set of temporary tags for the new car. We were completely sure about all that needed to be done with the title and registration and from what we knew we needed the title on hand. The dealer sent us a memorandum so I took that along with my license and three small children into the BMV to get tags.

Everything was going alright; the boys were being good and staying in one place, Claire was happy. Then I was called up to the counter and started my explanation of what I thought we needed and that our tags expired the next day. While I was having a long conversation with the nice DMV lady about all the items I didn’t have that I needed to get temp tags today… the boys were:

• Not listening to me
• Playing with the two doors in the corner (one to title office, the other to license) right beside me.
• Hagen started hanging on my arm and swinging his head into the half wall/counter.
• I turned around and Warren had a chair picked up and was moving it to the counter “to see”
• I picked Warren up to give him a quick look and Hagen got jealous.
• Hagen started tugging on my already loose short nearly pulling them off
• Claire started to cry.
• Warren wasn’t being attended to so decided he’d just climb the counter “to see”
• After getting them away from the counter they went to the two lined up chairs and found light switches.
• They flipped them a few times.
• I’m not joking.

I ended up leaving because of lack of proper documents and came back later with the right ones.

And 2/3 of my children in a stroller.

Tuesday:

I was planning on making it a cleaning day but after being woke up at 6:30am by my THREE YEAR OLD I was tired.

(My wonderful daughter will give me 8 hours of sleep already….)

I needed to grab a few things from the grocery store that I didn’t get Monday night and I had to meet up with the lady who bought our car.  See, we had this little thing from progressive that you plug into your car’s computer, we left that in the car when they took it.  Oops.  That’s not even the interesting part of the story… it’s the part when I found a GIANT TAILED FURRY BEE IN MY VAN!

You heard me right.

After looking it up I think it was a big hornet.  It wasn’t yellow though.  It was blue-ish/black/purple, I think.  Of course I didn’t get close enough to make sure.

I spent twenty minutes trying to get the thing out of my van
