Splish Splash

The other day my friend Caroline came to hang out and brought her 3 kids. It had been raining all day long and there was finally a break in the rain so we let Kaylie and Aimi Lark get dressed up in their snazzy gear and go splash away! Mali Su finally joined them and it was so fun to watch them play!

My kind of MOM!

I give my kids candy.
We don't eat organic, unless it just tastes good.
I let my kids stay up late on the weekend, sometimes past midnight.

My kids love TV.
I sometimes let my kids watch TV all day on Saturday if it's a lazy day.
Fast food is a weekly deal in our house.
Kaylie's idea of going out to eat is simply McDonalds.
I sometimes swear.
I yell at my kids when they don't listen to me the first 100 times.
Sometimes I have to spank my kids.
I hate dishes and laundry.
I let my laundry pile up sometimes so I have over 4 loads to fold.
Dishes pile up in my sink on a bad day.
I love sleep.
I try to fit a nap into every day.

Am I a good mom?
I think I'm a great mom.
I make mistakes, but try to admit them when I notice them.
I don't worry about keeping up with the "Jone's".
I do what I want to do, not what you want me to do.
I don't think that your way is always the right way.
I don't think that my way is always the right way.
I don't think because I let my kids eat candy and ice cream for dinner I am a bad mom.
I don't think organic is better.
I don't think it's the end of the world if we miss a nap or go to bed late.

Everything I do is for them.
