8:30 Cannon wakes up. I hear him coming down the stairs and yell a happy, perky "Good Morning Cannon!" only to hear him moan and whine. Cade says, "Oh no, here comes Mr. Grump."
10:00 After having him dressed completely, he goes into my closet where I have put the storage container of clothes that are too small and need to go into the attic. He comes out with three shirts on that are way too small and mismatched pajama pants. Nice.
12:00 I get my shower. As I am getting dressed I walk out into the living room to find Cannon climbing up the outside of the steps. He was halfway up. I screamed for him to get down and asked him what he was doing. He said, "I was going up there" and pointed to the landing on the second floor. He scares me to death sometimes!
2:30 Get him dressed in his handsome outfit he had just has his portrait made in. He was in a very nice all white outfit with white turn down socks and white shoes. He was decked out in Strasburg from head to toe. I should have thought better of putting all white on Cannon but, I wanted him to be able to wear it and a wedding was perfect opportunity. Little did I know...
3:30 On the way to the wedding I look back and he has his socks that had been nicely folded at his ankles pulled up over his knees. When I tried to fix then back, they were so stretched out they just sort of hung there. Lovely. Who cares though, they are just socks.
4:30 Pick the kids up from the nursery to head to the reception. Cannon walks over and touches the wedding cake. He gave it a swipe of his finger in hope of getting some icing. (sorry Shelley and Jimmy)
4:45 Cannon gets some food from his Nonna's plate and eats a strawberry. Instantly his white shirt had strawberry on it . Enough strawberry that the lady serving punch thought he has spilt the punch on himself.
5:15 Corey and I go through the line and get food for us and the kids. Cannon comes over to eat and decided to eat a carrot stick. I didn't see him eat it. I only noticed the look on his face. I saw him trying to chew and said, "Cannon you don't like carrots. Why are you eating a carrot?" He is like me. He REALLY doesn't like them. He tried his hardest to chew it up and swallow. I could tell it might get "ugly" so I said, "Cannon spit it out." Well, Cannon couldn't spit it out without throwing up everything he had eaten on him and in my hands. Yes, I tried to catch it. I thought that might be better than throw up hitting the floor with others around us trying to eat. All the while Landry is pulling at my leg. Nonna comes and gets Landry. Someone gave me napkin and I was able to pick up Cannon and go to a bathroom. In the bathroom he throws up again. So, I begin cleaning him. Literally washing his shirt with him wearing it. Corey said, "Just take his shirt off." I said" Corey, no shirt is more obvious than a wet shirt." So after lots of cleaning, Cannon reentered the reception with a VERY wet shirt. Fun.
6:00 Going home. Long day. Cannon needed a bath.
7:00 Needed to go to the grocery store to get food to cook for Homecoming at church tomorrow and dishwasher detergent. Both boys wanted to go with me for some reason. As we are leaving the grocery store Cannon spots the gumball machine. I said, "NO." Cade and I continue on only to turn and see Cannon running up with a green gumball in his mouth (made obvious by the green spit running out of his mouth). I asked, "Cannon, where did you get that gum?" He said, "On the floor under the gumball machine Mama." He was proud of himself. Nasty.
7:30 I realize as I pull out of the grocery store that I forgot the dishwasher detergent. I quickly pull in to CVS and get the boys out. We get the Cascade, pay and walk out. I turn and see Cannon coming out behind us with a pack of gum. I asked, "Cannon what are you doing?" He said, "I want some gum Mama." I said, "Cannon, NO, that is stealing." We then turn right around, march back into the store and I make Cannon apologize to the "check out girl" for taking the gum. He was embarrassed.
Other funny things from the weekend:
On the way to the rehearsal dinner, Landry was being fussy. Nothing was working so I handed her my mascara that I had just finished using. I had tightened it very tight and cleaned the outside with a wet wipe. I told Corey I knew she couldn't possibly open it. Well, I turned around a few minutes later and hew entire face was painted black and her hands were covered in mascara. I told her she did a good job for her first time trying to put on mascara. It takes a lot of practice to do it just right. I know you are thinking, what an idiot I am but, I give her my lip gloss sometimes and she had never opened it and I tightened the mascara really tight. I climbed in the back seat with her and begin scrubbing her. She recovered nicely with the only traces of mascara being the black under her fingernails. Wish I had my camera.
On the way to the wedding I was telling Cade and Cannon that they would go tot he nursery and we would pick them up after the wedding and go the the reception. Cade asked, "Are you making me go to the nursery so I don't have to see that nasty kissing part?"
You've gotta love it!
Hermit crab update: Cannon asked to see Crunch last night. So, now they know and neither one cares. Cade's mouth dropped when I told him the Crunch died EIGHT days ago. He said, "Oh, man" and then went back to what he was doing.

Handing Landry your mascara sounds exactly like something I would do! I will reach for anything to pass back when I am in the car and they are crying! Love reading your blog. (All three crabs still alive. After reading your posts I go check on mine to make sure they are moving!)
Brought back memories of my doctor's office visit. Being a mom is hard! How funny that they are just now asking about their crab. I could barely keep a straight face when Cade was telling Cole all about his pet crab that I knew had died days ago.
