I left Matt for two hours with the children last week. I had a pretty rough day and was looking forward to some peace and quiet. Less than an hour into my night out, I got a text message from Matt.

"I fixed the toilet."

And, how did he manage to do that while he watched the kids? I can barely get a drink of water during the day!!!

I stared at the picture mail.

 What in the world? Is that fishing line, a swivel and a bobber?

Yes, it is.

Fishing season cannot come quickly enough.

When I arrived home, there was a tackle box, not a tool box, in my bathroom.

Oh Matt...

Esther is teething. Everything goes in her mouth.
The pediatrician asked Joseph how he got his pink eye. Joseph said, "Esther eats me."
It's true.

(I love that I dressed up for the occasion. Maybe the children really don't notice my usual uniform of black yoga pants.)

Bad cell phone picture, but this is our pediatrician's office. I have never taken five children to be checked out at the same time. Glad I did, though. We all came away with a diagnosis and prescription.

They are all playing with that tiny little circle of railroad track.

Esther has been spending too much time with Nathan.

 Ok. Tommy came to me with the camera and asked if we could take a picture together. Absolutely! Smile, ok?

 NO NO NO! Smile!

 THOMAS! I thought you wanted a nice picture?!

 Fine! I'm just gonna kiss you then!

 

"That's really what I wanted, Mommy."
