How about Orange?

So these last few weeks I have been feeling very overwhelmed with my children. It was spring break and we stayed at home. Evan is on this new kick where he has to talk non stop 24/7 and it was cute at the beginning. like two weeks ago. Also he has become very violent with his older brothers; especially while we are in the car. And Garett takes the brunt of his attacks.

So while we are in the car a few days ago hes in rare form and I have reached my stimulation quota for the week. I blurted out without thinking " Evan if you don't knock it off right now, I am gonna beat your butt black and blue." He stopped and for like 30 seconds I thought I had gotten my point across. When Evan comes back at me with "Hmmm....... how about Orange?" I said "what" and could not contain my laughter. So instead of a black and blue butt, he wanted an orange one. I could not have defused that situation better if I had tried. He is going to be the death of me with his Evan-ness but at least I will be laughing the whole time.


love you all hope all is well for you.
