mmm.. gmo free corn grown on the windward side! it's the sweetest little farm... we do our "pumpkin patch" there every year. you know... where they ship in the pumpkins and lay them out every morning because it's 90* and they rot otherwise. oh, and there is the most gorgeous view of the ocean!
apparently i don't give this kid enough to drink...
he liked his cinnamon roll.
nemo! nemo got lost in the ocean the other day. james was emptying the bucket and it got away from him in all the waves. we searched and searched. about 20 minutes later, a girl pulls it up out of the water about 15 feet down the beach! yay for "finding nemo"!!!
we got to see our friend miss c at the airport on her 2 hour layover. it was so much fun!!!
nora was yelling, "hurry mom, quick, take a picture!" she loved that chris was just snuggled up next to her.
today, i felt like "that mom". i got so much done! weeded some. renewed my nursing license. then decided to tackle our playroom. which was not even walkable. got that cleaned. and decided to go in on the kids rooms (which were not bad, but i could get rid of more junk when they WEREN'T home!).
and then, we had to find soccer cleats. between a 2:45 pick up and 5 o'clock practice. because i hadn't looked before. we weren't totally sure about this season- they were having trouble finding coaches. i didn't think they were desperate enough to have me coach!
but i felt like "that mom". wrangling her three littles in and out of a few stores, watching them stick out their tongues at each other, push each other. (actually that was about all they did... it was really the "customer service" that was driving me batty!) but i was short on patience. and they were really being (mostly) good. and i don't want to be "that mom".
i felt rushed. we were rushed. i had an agenda. and we mostly got it done. but i was impatient when i tired and rushed little girl started crying over silly things. instead of just loving. and i want to love. it ended well. the kids and i had a nice talk. and the house was really and truly mostly picked up! i love that feeling. the freshness of the super organized play room. if we are being totally honest, i WISH my play room (or house) was always that picked up. but, i am lazy. L.A.Z.Y.
anyway. i finished season 2 of downton abbey tonight. argh... waiting on the 3rd season to get here by mail! (borrowing it...) but, it's been fun to watch... and probably good to actually spend a few evenings home with my husband!
