Two Little Monkeys May Be Enough...

This little monkey POOPED on my bed.
"But it's a good place for boogers!" the big monkey said.
(look closely on the wall)
The little wee monkey spit out all of his peas,
While the three year old monkey had fun hiding mom's keys.


And after the crying and chaos dispersed
Mom jumped on the phone to dial up the nurse.

Ah, the peace that was felt when the Dr. replied,
"I'll see you on Thursday to get your tubes tied."

And when the crazy monkeys were finally asleep
Mom opened the door to take one final peep.

But there in the dark, 'midst the quiet and still
Mom opted no to the "tie", and a YES to the pill.

Here's hoping your monkeys are being sweeter than mine at the moment :)

Iliana, you are hilarious! You had me going for a minute there. I was having the same thought (tubes tied now) today when Holden walked up to a total stranger and hit her because she was crying (a fellow two-year old). No, my kids are NOT behaving better. I have two of the Terrible Twos.

Wow! Sorry about all the chaos. I loved your cute poem though! haha Oh and about the bed. I'd love to have a metal barred bed. I just need one. The one on my blog is an "assemble yourself" bed so don't worry...it's not too luxurious. If Matt wasn't the handyman he is it would definitely be a recipe for disaster! haha...

Lacy said...

You need to have lots more kids because they are so cute!! Poop and boogers....... mmmmm

Lisa Marie said...

Ashley said...

Sarah said...

i loved reading that. You have the cutest boys ever, i am glad you opted to the pill, you need to have more cute little guys.

Melissa said...

I'm glad I'm not the only one with chaos around every corner. There are definitely days when I think I've had it... and then they hug you and say the sweetest thing and suddenly you want a whole bunch more of them... then you wake up the next morning and know that was a crazy thought!

I agree with Lisa Marie... ditch the fam and become a poet! You're so talented. :)

Oh my gosh, that is sooo cute! I can't believe how big your boys are getting. I really need to get back to church! :) By the way, I don't mind at all that you checked out my blog. I can't believe I didn't get into all this sooner. It's a lot of fun to see what everyone's up to.

Yay!! I'm comment number 20!!
Did you write that or find it online somewhere? VERY clever! I think we all can relate in some ways. Thank goodness that at some point all children fall asleep, so we can fall back in love with them!

Sarah Beau Bera said...

Iliana - hello! Yes I did marry April's brother 5 years ago. I like your blog. How are you?

Janelle said...

Uh. I don't know if you should or shouldn't be worried. I am a paranoid person so I call the doctor all the time :) and I read web MD all the time. Here is a link for whooping cough symptoms. http://children.webmd.com/tc/whooping-cough-pertussis-symptoms

You are pretty funny! Isn't it amazing how one minute you think your kids are going to drive you crazy and then next minute they are the cutest things in the world! I'm glad to have another MHSer in Utah (everyone else ditched us and went south where it is warm!)

Emilie said...

You are such the writer/poet! What hidden talents.... no but I am still laughing! So cute. Is it bad that sometimes I feel that way with just one? It is amazing how kiddies keep you hopping :)
