Out of School…Out of Patience.

Thanksgiving vacation for the kids is always a great thing…for them. Since I work Monday through Friday I don’t see much of the kiddos when they are out of school. Crystal on the other hand works Tuesday through Friday and is able to take the kids to work with her during the times when they are off. We packed iPods, DS’s, coloring books, action figures and baby dolls in hope that this would keep them occupied for 5-6 hours.

Since Crystal is off on Mondays the kids and her stayed at the house on that day. Tuesday rolled around and I called her after they had been there for a couple of hours and when she answered the phone it didn’t even sound like her. The kids had been fighting, arguing, and being extremely loud in an office setting.  We are so thankful though that she works in her father’s office and he tolerates it a bit.  I told her to just hang on and the day at the office would be over soon enough.

The second day rolled around and she sounded like she wasn’t going to make it out alive because the kids were frazzling her nerves so bad. Thank goodness this would be the last day before Thanksgiving on Thursday because she would have been searching for flights to Dalaman to get as far away as she could and relax without the sound of kids haunting her earholes.

These kids do not listen at all. They are not scared of us at all when we threaten to punish them. They just laugh and point at us when we get on to them. I have no idea what next summer will hold when all three kids may be taking a trip to the office. We have to get through the Christmas break first!

      NO! Not my little Taylor, Peyton and Rylan???
      They are angels. =)
      I can relate, I used to take my kids to work with me on occasion, but almost never both of them at the same time. I do remember having them home together and days when I wanted to fly to the farthest corners of the earth. UGH!
      They will grow up soon enough and you will miss them, so don’t wish for it to happen too quickly. =)
