Some days are better than others

By the end of the day, before Andy arrived home, I was completely frazzled and on the edge of tears.  The kids did not listen to me at all today.  I feel like I yelled a lot which I know I shouldn't because they are only 20 months old.  How many times do I have to tell them to stay away from the dog food and water.  I have been instructing them every way possible since they could crawl.  When will they finally get it?  Oh, and here's something I never imagined that I would say to my daughter - "Please stay OUT of the toilet."  
There was much whining and crying going on today.  John threw many tantrums and then would come over to me for a hug.  Aggravating at first and then very sweet.
They are bored with the toys.  They lost interest in coloring, in stickers, painting, measuring out dried beans, playing with pots and pans, etc.  We are ready for the cold and the rain to go away so that we may frolic outside.
The picture below was taken at the end of the evening, under Daddy's watch.  Surprisingly, it did not bother me.
