The two week Spring break is finally over and all the boys are back at school.
To be honest with you, I don't know how I survived those two weeks. I did lose little bit of sanity in the process and some items that I had fondness for are no longer with us.
The second week was especially trying with Hormone Boy abandoning the sinking ship hitting the road with Mr.Misery and leaving me alone with Little Peanut and devil spawns Beastie Boys.
Little Peanut took it upon himself to be the man of the house. It was so cute. He kept walking around all stressed out and trying to keep the Beastie Boys in line with no luck.
For those who are new to my blog the Beastie Boys are my sister's boys I take care off. She's a single mom and works long hours so she needs all the help she can get. Beastie Boy K is 7 years old (9 days older then Little Peanut) and Beastie Boy C is 5 years old.
This is a conversation (more like dialog) I overheard towards the end of the week when LP was ready to move out.
LP: What is wrong with you two? Why can't you just listen? Don't you understand the words that come out of my mouth? How hard it is to behave for just some minutes?
Beastie Boys: Lalalalala.....Hahahahaha....bum.....crush....hahahaha.....bang......(lamp flies off the end table)
LP: Now look what you done. My mom will lose it now for sure.
Beastie Boys: Sorry
LP:You are always SORRY.Just sit down and let me talk when she comes in.....and then say you're sorry.
LP: Do you behave like this at home? Your poor mother, no wonder she needs wine (apparently overheard a conversation between me and sis).
After listening to this I couldn't even be mad about my broken lamp. My little man was trying so hard to keep me sane.Bless his little heart.
Thursday night after the boys left we collapsed on the couch and LP looks at me with his stressed out look:
LP: The horror is almost over....
Me: What horror?
LP: Tomorrow is the last day of Beastie Boys coming over and then we can distress over the weekend. Just you and me. Wouldn't that be nice, mommy?

Your LP is such a hoot--taking on such responsibility at the ripe old age of 7!
School holidays are starting next Thursday and I am so not looking forward to them. I think I will lend my children out to the fruit farms to do child labour. Might make a bit of cash and they would probably love it! What do you think? Good plan?
I might do Aloha Friday with you this week.
Read ya again soon.

Understand the words coming out of his mouth??? Hahahaha it's like Rush Hour.
I love what LP said at the end of your conversation :)
He sounds very grown up! Good for him for being so responsible. :)
cute! its amazing that kids act as if they are all grown up. i have a few same moments with my 2-yr old. mimicking me or her grammy's :) priceless!
Wow, he sounds like a great little peanut. Very observant indeed. I'm also jealous that ya'll have 2 weeks for Spring Break. We only get 1 week.
Isn't it so weird/funny to hear your words coming out of your kids' mouths? Those are pretty funny though. Glad you all survived!
I'm not sure what is funnier, the pics or the post, lol. Spring break doesn't START til next week for my kids. God help me. :o)
Aw. How cute! I guess he just had to be in charge. It sounds like he had enough of the Beastie Boys too.
