Happy Memorial Day and a huge Thank You to everyone who has served and sacrificed for our freedoms!
The thing about three day weekends is that you have three days with your children.... THREE days with your children. No break of work... just you and the kids... THREE days!
The kids were really good this weekend, even today! We took them out in the back yard in some of their junk clothes and just let them play in the dirt. OH MY GOD! I did not know that much dirt existed on the entire planet. My children apparently love to not only scoop up the dirt and just pour it back out again, but throwing it at each other as well. Of course, being the Ultra Cool Mama that I am (LOL....NOT) I just let them play and keep throwing the dirt around for about 30 minutes. We brought them in the house and went straight to the bathroom and stripped them. Now, before they came in I had already dusted them off outside. So, into the tub they went. And once we rinsed then off- I had to drain the tub and fill it up again to actually wash them. And even with that, it looked as if mud was running down Harpers face when I rinsed her hair out.
The second thing about this weekend, is apparently our children are going through a growth spurt. Which means that they are essentially eating all of the time. Now, if you have been following my blog for a while you have seen what we typically go through in a week. Let me just tell you what we have gone through today:
2 eggs
1 banana
1 package oatmeal
1 bunch of grapes
1/2 pint of blueberries
2 cups of goldfish
2 PB&J's
2 cups of chips
2 hamburgers
2 cups of baked beans
1 tomato
1 cup of doritos
1 cheese sandwich
3 pieces of cinnamon raisin toast
3 whole ears of corn
pint of strawberries
JUST THE KIDS....... No exaggeration.
Those kids are putting down!!!!!!
Oh, and Jack now says, "I love you so much mama!"
Like I said, the kids were really good this weekend, but Thank GOD tomorrow is a work day.
Come join us on the next little dirt road of life~
