All Day

Soccer game. Birthday party. Play date. Sleepover. Parenting Saturdays are the only thing less relaxing than the work week.

Safe Travels

Amelia is going on an out of town field trip tomorrow.  It's things like this that make it hard for me to parent.  I really want my kids to have fun and see the joy and excitement in everything.  However, I know I'll be worried about her until she gets back off the bus safe and sound.  Of course, I guess I could offer to chaperone a bus full of 4th graders .... naaaahhhhh, I'm sure she'll be fine.

Inside??

When I try to explain to Olive that I'm on my lunch break and we have to go back into the house instead of play outside all day, her look goes from this....

 ...to this...

Selfie Stylist

I opened my phone today to find this picture of Amelia.  Looks like someone has been experimenting with her hair....and liking it....

Lost Tapes

The great thing about digital cameras is sometimes you find an old card and you get a free walk down memory lane....I barely remember them being these ages...

Almost Home

It's after midnight, but Olive and I are still up, anxiously awaiting Meggan's return to the States.

Paid

When you go to Grandma and Grandpa's, you get put to work.  Luckily, that work is creating your own bakery stand to sell cookies and cakes....
