Today, after the Pond cafeteria finished serving lunch, I let the girls build their own fruit n’ yogurt parfaits.  That’s all the tricks I had up my sleeve for today.  Staying home in the summer is actually more work than going out to play (cleaning, picking up, changing more diapers it seems, laundry, just housework type stuff and entertaining kiddos), but it saves more money, and Momma’s gotta have a pj day every other is what we’ve found works for us.  But, sometimes, we’ve just got to get in the car and go, even if it is to just ride around the neighborhood.  This is the phase of the year where having toddlers is exhausting!  Ask Noelle, she’s my right hand gal!  Don’t know what I’d do without her help, and Anna Kate helps when she’s not in a 4 year old struggle with herself.  Baby Rose is just sweet sweet sweet, but God love her, needs action 24/7.  I know I will miss this time, but right now, I’m too exhausted to really press into the fun of it all.  I’ll work on that as of right now!  Getting ready to go hang out with our favorite Santa!  More on that next week… Hope you guys have an awesome weekend.  I sure am looking forward to it!
