Circus Crew Today

It was one of those days.... These pictures tell it all. They day had...

Sweet moments.

I'm in charge moments.

Back to sweet.

Pure wildness.

I have lost control.

I took many deep breathes, I reminded myself nap time would be soon and then had a few not sure what to do moments ...alone in a bounce place with 4 kids and your 2 1/2 year has an accident in a bounce house. At the first birthday party of the school year with a new friends.... Yes I wanted to die but yes I solved the problem the best I could and all was ok. Real life with these little ladies!!!!

Weekend Fun!

Night out with my favorite guy, my family and Truman to celebrate at my cousins wedding!

Ott Cousins!! Missing a few. Lucky to have 22 cousins!!!

❤️ these siblings!

The ladies!

While the little ladies had Mimi time! Started off with manis and pedis, pool and lots of play!

Happy Weekend for all!!! Best part was everyone slept through the night in their own bed Sunday night!!! Who knew my 4 year old would be motivated by CASH! Yes told girls if they slept through the night they could get a gold star on the chalk board and a treat. EK immediately says "Can the treat be cash?" Sure that works, I was thinking princess something or icecream treat but that works! Sure enough they all slept and first thing out of EKs mouth in the am was "Did I earn the cash?". Money motivated 4 year old, totally fine by us. Not sure where the cash idea came from and Poppa and I have laughed so hard every time she asks. Of course no laughs to her because she everyone is sleeping all night 2 days in a row. EK stores the cash in a special spot and says she is saving to buy something.

From the Teacher

EKs teacher greets me Thursday morning and says she has an EK story.

EK comes out of the classroom restroom with red face and stern look. Looks at Aiden and says. "Aiden I am sick and tired of cleaning up after your potty".

Teacher said perfect time to call a class potty meeting and get these boys under control.

Oh momma hen!

Back to School

First day of school at TLLC!

EK not in class but helped get MF in picture!

EK was a little overwhelmed with the bigger school, new teacher and all new friends. She (and I) fought back tears at goodbye. Not going to lie after a week 24x7 with my girls today was a sad day for this momma. But as I told a coworker today, back to realtity stinks but makes you appreciate things as well.

So here we go into a new school year at a new school (same as summer but programs are completely different). I can't wait to watch all the girls spread their wings even more and grow and change in so many ways.

Side Note: Yes Poppa did it again with my crazy request for apples yesterday!! I know I'm crazy but I love stuff like this and had to have the door coordinating!!

First Day of school in the books!!
