Family: Expect the unexpected!!

This morning in all our morning craziness the baby wakes up in his bassinet screaming out in pain. My husband is in the kitchen and is closest to our room. So he starts in that direction with me on his heels in no time( men never seem to move as fast as a worried mother!). As we are going around the bed to get the baby he turns to me and quickly holds something out and says, "Here hold this." I automatically reach out and take whatever it is. I mean wouldn't you have? Well the reason he was in the kitchen was he was preparing his lunch. So I was handed 2 cold wet slices of lunch meat! Once it was in my hand I stopped walking and had to look at the gross wet things in my hand. He picks up the baby and sees the look on my face and cracks up. "I can't believe you actually took it!" was his reaction.

Now my new motto with the family is: Family:Expect the Unexpected! Not that this is a new revelation, what with all the times I find cheese and a trail of ants behind the couch(yesterday!) or hear the screams from my son's room and upon investigation find my 1 year old on the tallest dresser with no explanation possible for how he got there. There are so many things that happen in a house of 6 that are just bizarre. Most of the times its something the kids do that is the craziest or most unexplainable. Like when my oldest was just 2 she got a necklace off of a teddy bear that she had managed to get on there with out me being able to remove it. I mean I tried for like 20 minutes to get it off then looked at her and said sorry but I couldn't get it off and gave it back to her. I look at her a few minutes later and realized she had it off and it looked to still be completely intact and so did the bear. I got them from her and looked for a place where she had to have broke the necklace to get it off. There was no such place nor was the bear damaged at all! I still to this day have no clue how she got the beads on the bear or off of it.

So now I just need to remember, especially as my kids get older, there will be even more things to expect to be crazy around here.
