Yesterday was one of those days.
The kind where I literally got nothing done apart from feeding the kids lunch and getting the baby to take one of her two
naps and listing a couple of things in the shop while the older four watched part of a movie.
Monday is the day I watch my nieces and since there was no school yesterday I had all five kids.
Five kids is fine, I can handle it- they are good, they get along well and love playing together.
But some days you feel like you cannot even start one task before someone is asking you for something, someone is hurt
or someone is telling on someone else.
Not a bad day, just one of those days.
It was a beautiful, sunny day so before we went to the playground we took a walk around the neighborhood to burn
off some energy, get some fresh air and do a little treasure hunt.
I made the kids each up a list of what to look for and they took pencils to mark off what they
collected and spotted. They were really into it and took it pretty seriously, it was fun. And cute.
The leaves are starting to be so pretty right now.
We live in an area of old houses and mature trees so there are beautiful colors and leaves everywhere.
If I didn't accomplish much I am glad we got to do this, right?
Never mind the laundry, cleaning, errands, shop stuff and birthday party planning for this weekend.
Yikes.
Hope you have a great day and I hope it is starting to feel like Fall where you are!
