the best one

by far the worst afternoon/evening of the school year so far.
i don't know WHAT to do...
rebekah and i were both in tears by the time pat walked in the door.
it was ugly.
i am not fit to do this.
can i just take them out of school?? forever??

we did go for a walk halfway through the torture of homework/studying for tests
{it was a desperate attempt to keep everyone alive and not killing each other}
i got some good pictures.
but this one was the best...BY FAR!

i'll share more of the "good" ones tomorrow.
but this one was the most true.
{yes, i made their shirts. i love them.}

sorry to be totally laughing over here - but that is the BEST picture!!! this is why i love blogging - because at least while i'm in my own little h--- over here with my 3 year old, i know that i'm not the ONLY mom on the planet that feels like they are about to lose it!!! deep breaths. i LOVE their shirts - totally adorable. the weekend is coming friend!

Sorry it was such a rough day...but some day long into the future you are going to treasure that photo and the fact that you blogged about a "real" day in the life. Do you mean that parenting doesn't get easier as the kids get older?!? ;-)

Oh! I also love the pumpkin shirts! Too cute! Do you buy all their clothes in solid colors now just so you can have the fun of embellishing?
