This has so far been the summer of "Please don't kill you brother today!" No kidding. It will be a success if I just keep them all alive and not seriously injured this summer. We went off for some family fun a couple Saturdays ago. Mostly I just hoped their behavior would be better in public. Wrong. But it made for some cute pictures for the blog.
The evolution of a group photo. Parker was the photographer because he was not having any fun. I guess I shouldn't be too bummed about a 5 out of 6 success rate.
We went on to lunch at
Crockett's, one of Guy Fieri's Diner's Drive-ins, and Dives. Stopped in a See's Candies for a treat and wrapped things up watching The Croods. (where Parker FINALLY started to have fun)
Sidenote: I had such ridiculously low expectations for that movie (it has Nic Cage in it) but I could not recommend it enough. It is funny and has a wonderful message about family.
I totally hear ya on all accounts. The kids have been fighting non stop and it's a miracle that they're both still alive. And again, you'd think they'd be better in public... nope. Not. At. All. Much love to you! I pray it gets better :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Friend! Makes me thankful for my mom :)
DeleteYum! What did you do with all those delicious strawberries??? did you get pick happy like I did when we went cherry picking in Emmett last year and I ended up with SIXTY pounds? ;)
ReplyDeleteI am going to simply choose to ignore the fighting future that I am sure will make it's way into our lives. Ignorance is bliss- but I am sure by the time I get there, you will let me know it gets better. ;)
I learned that lesson too! This go 'round we only picked enough to eat fresh for a few days. Hard to hold back though, they were so good.
DeleteIgnorance is bliss and it is also choosing your battles. Smart girl, you are!
Hi Aubrey, I miss the smaller strawberries like those. Nowadays they are all huge things that don't seem to have the flavor of the smaller ones. And your kids fight?!! Mine NEVER did. Ahahaaaha! I'm sure glad my kids are grown. :-)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree on the berries, fresh picked is just a different (better) taste.
DeleteIt is such a relief to know that through the fighting you maintained sanity. I worry about that, for real!
