Timing is Everything

You know that feeling when you have your kids wolf down their dinners, put on a swim diaper, put on plastic swim pants, put on bathing suits, and load up in the car for a rare school night trip to the pool only to have a random flash of lightning in the distance close the pool right in front of your eyes as you are literally steps away??? Well, thanks to tonight, we now do.

It was soooo fun explaining to two pool hungry kids that we can't swim and have to go back home even though it is fairly sunny and not raining at all.  Sorry kids, use those towels you are dragging to dry your tearful little eyes.

Time Well Spent

This weekend included a birthday party, swimming lessons, a play date with friends, another trip to the pool today, ice cream, cupcakes, and birthday cake. In other words, it was a good weekend.


Here is Amelia finally playing in the toddler bounce house she had previously been afraid of....

 Ev and his buddy....

 That poor bounce house never stood a chance...

Cell

When Everett has business to tend to, he has to take the call no matter where he is. Little does he know, his cell phone might actually be smaller than my first real cell phone was....

Socks

This morning, there was nothing I could do to entice Everett into putting on his socks and shoes...and when we've exhausted options like putting them on Sophie to make it seem fun and cool, we're about at the end of the line...

Must Be NIce

There is nothing sweeter in the entire world than when your little two year-old wraps his little arms tightly around your neck and quietly says "I love you so much" as you lay him down for bedtime ... at least that what Meggan told me after he did it to her last night. I wouldn't know...this morning when I told him I loved him, he just looked at me and said "okay".  I guess you can say it is pretty obvious who he loves more...for now.

Chalk Artist

I found this graffiti in my garage floor....as soon as I can do some more investigating and figure out who the artist is, I'm going to find out what they have against spaces between their words...

Great Literary Works

This is the kind of work of art Meggan buys for the kids to read....

...Yes, that dog is farting a giant cloud that has literally knocked the socks off that little boy. Awesome.
