The Fleming Family: Kaller Kids

Well, here we are at Day 2 of the first ever Kaller-Fleming cousin weekend. I cannot complain too much :) Lily squealed and squealed and squealed some more...how do Amy and Joe still have good hearing?? Jack only had one meltdown-he didn't want to eat lunch, I wanted him to eat lunch (come on..it was mack and cheese..!), he wanted to watch Shrek...you know the story! Eventually we kissed and made up and all was well in our world once again!

I totally forgot to mention in my last post (Kaller Kids-Round 1) that Jack is a pee machine! I should not have taken Amy's advice ('hey Kelly-if your going to let Jack go outside in the sprinkler, don't put his diaper on b/c he is just going to get all wet anyways, and his diaper gets huge!') Well, I got Jack ready last-right before we walked out the deck door-and what did the kid do? He stops at the open door and pees all over the floor! I didn't see it at first and totally slipped in it-so disgusting. I got that mess all cleaned up and we played outside. As soon as the fun was over, we came back inside and I told Gary to get Jack undressed and re-diapered first. Well, Jack took off into the other room and peed all over the throw rug (at least it is where Bella pees too-maybe he was marking his territory??). I could have taken all of this, but the next morning (Sunday) Jack get's up and as I am making his bed, I discover that he has peed the bed! Off with the sheets to be washed. Oh-and did I mention I didn't have a mattress cover on the bed as it is brand new?? My mom suggested laying down towels on Sunday night so he wouldn't go through his diaper, the towels, the sheets, etc. She must not know the bladder power of Jack Kaller. I changed his diaper right before bed and still-he peed all the way through his diaper, pj pants, TWO TOWELS and the sheets....SERIOUSLY!!! I have never seen so much peeing in my life!!!!

Anyways...back to day 2....

Although the day started out a bit on the rainy side, it brightened up and Tracie, the kids and myself headed down to a local park to let the kids play and burn some energy at the same time. They had a GREAT time! Lily couldn't stop laughing while on the swings-when is she not having a FABULOUS time though?? Brooke just kept smiling and making noises as she went back and forth, up and down on the swing-too cute! Jack loved it all-the swings, the slides, the steering wheel and even digging in the rocks...what a day! Needless to say, they were all EXHAUSTED when we got home. Lily had missed a nap and was literally sitting up and swaying like a drunken college student until she finally face planted (once again, drunken college student) and fell asleep. I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Below are a few more things that made me laugh...
