Another lovely day

OK so it really wasn't THAT bad, the house is still standing and every one's alive.
But the boys went to the sitter for the first time in a couple weeks and that meant they were up early! That ALWAYS makes for an even more exciting day. Timmy ended up in time-out at the sitter because she said he sort of just freaked out and was yelling and sort of thrashing around with toys in his hands. He said he didn't remember why he had done that. But she said he calmed down after a couple minutes in their time out spot and was fine the rest of the day. THANK GOD, because time outs at our house typically involve 5+ minutes of screaming and kicking the wall. Which did happen last night. They boys were fighting over a Spiderman mask and both became physically aggressive with pushing/shoving and solid punches and kicks being unleashed. So they BOTH got a 10 minutes time out in hopes of them calming down. It was extra fun since we had company. And at this point I don't have a place to separate them for time outs where they AND our stuff is safe so they both went into their beds, in the same room. Their issue was quickly resolved as they turned against me, a new common enemy. Once they'd done their time they were fine because their grampa took them outside to play.
