3:45 pm on Thursdays roll around and offer up a favorable circumstance in which I am converted into a mother of 3. The Silver Boys arrive with smiles that fill a room and equal levels of energy reserve to launch a tiny rocket-ship to the moon. Among the ten gazillion questions Mr. Finnagain asks me about Kashi, thrives a curiosity to which I have not enough energy or know how to answer. So instead, we create adventures.
Today the rain outside resulted in the conceptual notion of a fort. I devised a master plan for a pulley system using blankets and the drapery cords. It worked beautifully and resulted in an abode in which all participants wanted to reside whilst watching a movie and devouring buttery popcorn.

Rain turned to sun, which turned our Thursday festivities into an outdoor amusement park of sorts. Swinging on the hammock, soccer with Kashi, towing the sled around on the grass, and razor scooter races down the walkway. These are the undertakings of a woman's attempt to entertain 3 busy bodied beings. And thus the wake of the aftermath....
Honestly, could she BE any more W.T?

Don't hate us because we consider diapers and shoes a complete outfit.
Accessorized with a rotten apple. |
I don't quite have the skills necessary for a long term debut as a mother of 3... but someday those skills will be honed. One additional baby at a time. For now, I will indulge in my invigorating Thursdays with The Silver Boys. Because "practice makes perfect" and we are all aware of my unsavory fetish with perfection.

You are awesome...diaper, shoes, half-eaten apple, cousins and a fort--stellar day!
Oh my gosh- dejavu of you, April, and Aaron! The end of the day would come and I would look at myself, the house, and you kids and wonder "What in the Hell did I do all day?" Seemed like I had been so busy keeping everyone happy and seemed like I had accomplished something, but it SURE didn't look like it. All part of the process, whether you get one baby at a time or 3 at once. I love the w.t. look on Layla. Just embrace the boys on Thursdays and keep up the great work- kind of like days when grandmas tend- they enjoy the kids and have to let go of the idea of getting anything accomplished at home that day.
LOVE this post! You are the perfect Auntie and a refreshingly witty Mama!
Lucky kiddos!
Looks like an awesome day! That is some seriously good playing, and Buca has the "outfit" to show for it.
Your mom sent me here and it was a delightful look at your life. I am glad those days are over. You will survive and look back with joy.
Thanks to you the boys are so excited to come to your house on Thursdays after school. I have to laugh at the 1 million questions Finn asks - it is my life all day everyday.
