mommy...

I was determined not to stay in the house all day today, so we got up and ready and headed to the park. Nice mommy. I even brought snacks and water. Good mommy. The kids played and I got to read my book. Happy mommy. We went out to lunch. Tired mommy. We got a milkshake with our meal AND ice cream cones after. Bad mommy.

While I was busy talking to a nice lady at the park, Eden helped herself and her brothers to the contents of my purse, which included the camera. I had no clue what they were up to until I downloaded the pictures. I guess I should be paying closer attention (OR maybe I will just invent a mild shock system for anyone who touches my purse besides moi! My mom used to get so mad when I got in her purse and I thought she was nuts. Oh mommy, I am so sorry. You were a good mommy and I was a naughty girl!)

We dined at Braum’s and we did have a reason to celebrate…we got to see Alex and Eliza and meet baby Lisa! The other day we were riding in the car and Landon said, "Mom, where's Alex?" He was so sad when I told him that he and Eliza moved away. We love the Wu's!

Looking at Eden and Carter with Lisa in these pictures made me think they would be great helpers with another one…if only their mom and dad had enough stamina to keep up.
