we have been NON-STOP with traveling this summer…all really fun family vacations and quality time we get to spend together…but hooooooly moly talk about schedule nightmares, tired babes + so. much. time. in. a. car.
it’s a hot mess over here a good 75% of the time so when zach + i were cracking up about all the ridiculousness that’s happened over 2 weeks, he said, i think it’s time for a little ‘coordinating chaos’ on the blog!

after hearing ‘MAMA’ screamed AT LEAST 1,694x in 2 hours on our way home from canada yesterday, i finally made zach pull into steak n’ shake for dinner. milk shakes + fries.
i was kidding about the ‘it’s dinner’ part…until i went to put mills to bed well past his bed time and remembered i actually never fed them…juice boxes, nutrigrain bar + yogurt for the win.
boom.

piper, dropping paintbrush on accident: ‘oh sh*t. wait. no, that’s not right. oh, shot. yea, oh shot. mama, that’s how you say it, right mama? oh shot?’
me: ….mmm hmmm….

me walking in to the bathroom to help…
lila: “no, mama, get out! i need my pwivacy!!’
….….

miller has an obsession with licking public tile floors…he’ll drop at any given time to lick it. gag.
airports.
restaurants.
malls.
bathrooms.

in line at starbucks….
piper: mama, we at starbucks?
me: yea, i’m gonna grab a coffee
piper: that’s right, mama… coffee always comes first, right mama?

receptionist: hi, your child’s name + reason for your call?
me: hi, miller cline… he just consumed a handful of chicken poop…do i need to take him to the ER??
{the answer was first a chuckle from the doc, then ‘no…just start a probiotic’

630am, someone has a tantrum over who knows what… i may have spoken the words, “if you don’t get it together i’m going to put you in the car by yourself until your done so you don’t wake everyone up’
…not my finest moment…
holy empty threats.

in the car, while i’m on the phone with the doctor:
piper: mama. moommm. MOMMMMMM! LINDSEY! I AM TALKING TO YOU!!!

lila: mama, i want a sucker.
me: not right now, babe.
lila: i’m FWUSTWATED!!!! you a-dick-you-luss mama.

trying to get out the door
me: girls! let’s go, i’m losing my patience here!
piper: mama, jesus will not be proud of you when you lose your patience + throw a fit.

snuggling in to bed at night, after saying our prayers, lila so sweetly putting her hands on my face…
mama, i wuv your chin.
thanks girl, you too.
