one of my top ten favorite motherly moments.

okay..maybe it's not in the top ten.. .but for sure the top 20.
i don't know how i forgot this story! and holly didn't even tell it on her blog in her Christmas post~
(which i never did it turns out...hmm...)

ANYWAYS: BEST STORY EVER:

so..on, i can't remember what day, all of us decided that we were going to get up one morning and hit the church gym for some good ol' volleyball..
now..in years past during previous volleyball games, we just threw (not literally) all the kids in a playpin, and let them scream in order to get our volleyball fix.
now, these same children are much older and wiser, so we decided to put them in the nursery room!
genius!
so, lynley, crew and bruin got free reign of the nursery room. the catch..the door was closed, and they couldn't really open it easily. which was actually kind of great. haha
anyway, as our volleyball game progressed, and as tears were finally and inevitably shed, we called it a day.
as holly and I returned to our children..we heard quite a tale. which was 100% true.
it is as follows:
bruin: "we had to go pee mom. so we peed in the trash can."
holly and me: "what?!"
bruin: "we had to go pee, so we did it in the trash can!"
the two of them ( lyn and bruin) were hilariously proud of themselves.
sure enough, we head over the the miniature plastic trash can, sans bag, and there was the evidence.

now, bruin, i mean that's understandable. he's a boy. and is therefore experienced in "aiming" if you catch my drift.
lynley on the other hand..who had also relived herself, says bruin. (and i fully believe him, due to she was just in her underwear, no pants, socks or shoes)...i mean, what?!
what i wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall.
i have no nono idea how she managed to get over that trash can, but she did.

hahahaha i WISH SO BAD i could've listened in on this conversation between the two of them!
lynley: "i have to go peeps."
bruin: "crap! i can't get the door open!"
lynley: "da** those parents!"
bruin: "it's fine, i have an amazing idea! we can just go in the trash can!"
lynley: "brilliant! bruin, you are the smartest kid ever."
bruin: " i know, okay, me first"
does his business.
Lynley: "okay..my turn..hmmm...mine doesn't work like that.."
bruin: "yeah, you're right..."
lynley: " oh it's no big deal, i got this!"
somehow does hers as well. still remains a mystery.
bruin: "awesome, we're the  smartest kids ever."
lynley: "yeah, i was thinking of just peeing my pants, this was way better."

anyways, that is just like my guess, i am POSITIVE that the actual converstaion was way funnier.
i don't know why this conversation popped into my brain, but i got a good laugh at it, even the just remembering.

top twenty mom moments, for sure.
