Sometimes...

Sometimes we have great days. 

We do awesome projects. 

I have endless patience. 

We go to fun places. 

You learn - I learn. 

We laugh and are silly. 

You guys make me do things I don't really want to but are important. 

( Like put on a swimsuit and go swimming at 7 months pregnant.) 

We hug and snuggle and love. 

Sometimes we have not so great days. 

Days that I loose my patience way too fast.
Times when I forget you are only 6, 4, and 3. 

Days you all fight non stop. 

Times when the crying and whining make me want to cry and whine too. 

Days when I want to set you in front of the TV just for peace and quiet.
All day.

I hope you mostly remember the awesome days but also remember the bad ones too. 

Because life isn't always amazing and exciting - full of adventure.
Somedays are hard.
 Its important to remember to bounce back and reset.

In the Fields.

After a rough week of everyone getting on each other's nerves with

 short tempers I decided this cool, cloudy Friday would be a good berry picking day. 

Bristol and I did most of the picking while Boden and Maye decided they were more useful sampling from each and every bush. 

Also, 6 year ago if you told me a child of mine would be wearing those god awful Paw Patrol sneakers I would have kicked you. 

Yup. We own them. 

AND they light up. 

Anyway, we have a great little chemical -free farm near us that produces the best berries. They weren't picked over so it made the picking and sampling much easier. 

Boden aided in the farms efforts to keep birds away by "talking" non stop at a level 10. 

My apologies to anyone near us who got a steady stream of blueberry picking play by play. 

We finished up then decided to make a small cut- you- own -flower bouquet for the kitchen. 

We'll be back in a few weeks for black berries and raspberries!
