WPA/PPS day one

Today we started Princess Prep School and Warrior Prince Academy at the main campus of our church. I was excited for my kids to get to do this even though I knew it would require very long days. We left our house at 7:45, ate breakfast in the car, and did not sit down or slow down until we ate lunch at 12:45! That alone made for 3 crazy acting children. We ate lunch at the restaurant that is in our church building, Jane's Grill. It fast ( sometimes), it's yummy, inexpensive and most importantly it is located on the campus. I just assumed that after our long day my kids would pile in to the car for our 30 minute drive home and fall right to sleep.

I of course was wrong. They talked and sang and fought over the Rexy that came in their Mcdonald's toy box from a few days before. Right at we turned into our neighborhood Jocelyn fell asleep. I was VER Y excited as she is my "non-Napper" and since I was hoping to get a nap in myself I really needed her to be asleep. I carried her to the couch and laid her down and then moved Graham into my room. My room is his favorite napping spot and he usually curls right up and goes to sleep. Riley of course went straight to his room ( it's nice having a big kid).

I came out to the living room to get some paper work done for Warrior Prince Academy and spent about 10 min. typing away. Finally I closed the computer and went to curl up with Graham. When I walked in to my room it smelled yummier than it was supposed to. I searched quickly for Graham who was not in the bed and I found him tucked in the corner of my Bathroom COVERED in Donna Karen Lotion. I asked him where he got it and he pointed to my beautiful bedding. There in the middle of my awesome bedding was a huge pile of Donna Karen Lotion. Spread smoothly into a slippery circle about 12 inches by 12 inches. It was on the carpet , the bed, the night stand, the books near the bed, everywhere!!!!! After a spanking and a time out. PLus a NEVER sleep in my bed again warning, I moved him upstairs and began to clean the mess. When I got to the sheets I scooped them up and carried them to my laundry room. and that's when I saw the beautiful picture Jocelyn had drawn for me.....on the half bathroom door....with a SHARPIE. I dropped the clothes in the hall and rushed forward to see the picture was actually more of a MURAL that started in the kitchen on my cabinets and wrapped around to the wall and THEN the bathroom door and them the inside of the bathroom wall finally finishing on the toilet seat. Isn't she so thoughtful to give me that hand-made one of a kind Mural. I will be so tragically sad to have to leave it here when he finally move out of this house. :) Jocelyn's mural really adds to the uniqueness of the half bathroom. It is after all the bathroom that is missing the back of the toilet because Graham pushed it off, causing it to shatter, because he wanted to see inside the tank.

In conclussion I would like to say:
