“The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant, and let the air out of the tires.”
Dorothy Parker
“Mom, can we borrow something from your closet?”
“That was fun. Hey you guys, what do you want to do next?”
“I’m bored, can we go to the park?”
“Higher!”
“Now what?”
“Mom, we made you something.”
“Look…”
“Can you pass some more food coloring?”
“Perfect.”
“OK, I think we’re done.”
“Don’t worry Mom, I’ll clean it up.”
“Guys, you can’t leave me with all of this.”
“We’re having frozen pizza and frozen macaroni for dinner.”
“Can we have this all of the time?”
“My feet turned red!”
“My hands!”
“Bedtime in 10 minutes.”
“Hey mom? I love you more than a 13,000 branch tree.”
“And mom? I remember when you gave birth to me.” “That’s why I love you.”
“You guys are funny and exhausting and tell me the strangest things, but you know what? I couldn’t imagine life without you.”
Love this post! Leaves me with such a happy smile/chuckle!
Glad to hear it!
What beautiful children. So sweet I bet they had a wonderful day and it will be memories they will share years later.

Sorry if this is a double comment, internet keeps timing out.
Thanks Suzie- I’m working on getting that fixed, might be a hosting issue, appreciate that you let me know!
What a lovely set of fun photos, cute too heheh!
Have a playtastic week 😉
Kids having fun! Nothing like it.
What a fun collection. I love the dress up photos and the mess. I am so impressed that they cleaned up.
Your household is fun cuz you are allowed to play dress up and make a mess! Can we live there =P #WW

Oh dressups – the bestest and longest-tested play time ever; next to helping in the kitchen of course…
Glad to see Jackson got his share of attention by the end of it all!!! YAM xx
Always, Jackson is this family’s Chief operating officer, he keeps the rest of the kids in line 😉
Yes, yes, yes! Kids are exhausting, and messy and so cute!! Love this post. 🙂
Thanks Tabitha!
Looks like great fun!
I’m visiting from Picture Perfect Party…
Such sweet cuties you have! ^.^
what a great photo story 🙂
What great photos, all in a day of mom & kids. I remember the flour messes when my son could not go outside because of rain or snow. Thanks for stopping by this week to share!!
I love when kids dress up. It’s creativity fun! What a mess, but so great that you let him make it.
Your children are adorable! My kids love to play dress up too. Have a terrific day!
Aww love them in their dress-ups!
This is a very sweet post. Tugged at my heartstrings!
Thanks Janice, glad you liked it 🙂
You’re such a cool mom!!! Enjoy the days when they’re little!! 🙂
Thank you so much Mary!
This is awesome. I love the conversation at the end.
Oh, what fun pictures. I love the ones with them wearing clothes from your closet.
The photos are so beautiful!
How adorable! What a perfectly perfect reason to love you! 🙂 Happy #WW!
WOW! You have some seriously sweet pics here!! LOVE!

I LOVE these photos. What a fun time with a very cool Mum. xo
It looks like they have had just so much fun! Playing dress up had to be a blast. And wow, what great pics of them playing on the swing!! Very cool. Have a great Week!
You’ve got some photogenic kids there. Looks like a lot of fun.
Those are great pictures. I’m in love with your table. Did you guys make that?
Thanks Miranda- it’s from CB2 actually- we got it a few years ago. The one thing I’d caution about having a glass table is that it’s impossible to keep clean– you have to clean the top AND bottom so that it shines. Don’t think I’d get another one again, although it’s perfect for the space!
Inspiring! I love real people! I love that you share the good and the less than perfect! Your kids are blessed! I will have to remember that quote when the kiddos are teens! I’d love for you to link up over at my blog too!
There was quite the dress up going on here today. At one point Captain America was being chased down by a cowgirl and Spider-Man was in close pursuit. I’m not sure which one the little Spidey was trying to catch. I suppose whoever she could. LOL
Fun day – fashion show – park – making something – not sure what it was exactly, lol – dinner & bed
looks like a great day 🙂
Oh, man! Did they make ‘oobleck’? My Thomas did that the other night. There is STILL cornstarch all over the place! LOL
Glad you had a “fun day”!
Yes, me too! Pink cornstarch in the kitchen’s grouting….I’m stuck with it forever. Damn oobleck has cursed many a home, I’m sure…
I always love your posts. I love how its a story. And your children are adorable. Don’t all kids say the strangest things. They make me laugh so much. 😀
Thanks so much Bethany, and you always leave the most awesome comments, thank YOU!
So much fun there, I don’t know where to start! Looks like summer is treating you all well!
🙂

Cute. Love the dress-up pics at the start of the set 🙂
I love this post. It made me remember dressing up in my Mom’s clothes when I wal small. Your kids are so cute! Also, I love that you love Jack even with three kids!! A great picture of the two of you.
Thanks so much Trish 🙂
