Smile til my cheeks hurt

You know the days that are so fun you laugh and smile until your cheeks hurt? Today was one of those days. David, Max and I hung out with some friends from late morning until nap time. We had a super fun time hanging out at EJ's house and playing in the morning then we ate lunch (which is always a blast with three 2 year old at the table). There's something magical about the way a two year old's body can turn fish sticks and mac-and-cheese into pure energy in 5 minutes flat. By the time we had their grubby fingers washed and their feet hit the floor they just couldn't contain themselves. Hoping to keep our sanity intact, packed the kidlings up and took them (haha. When I first typed that I wrote toot.) to the park. It is simply gorgeous out today so it's almost a must to spend it outdoors.

We went to a park that I'd never been to before and, let me tell you, it ROCKED! They have got some of the best slides my booty has ever slid on. Fan-tas-tic. The three big kids played for almost an hour and a half while the 2 babies (Max and one of his girlfriends) watched. The big kids were so fabulous about sharing turns on the slide and walking nicely to the stairs. They clapped for each other when they had a particularly good trip down the slide and they even did doubles -sometimes triples- and waited at the top so thier friends could climb the stairs and slide with them.

Days like this make me so grateful to the Lord for allowing me to be a stay-at-home-mom.
