By the end of the day the bebes have me completely exhausted.

As anyone with small children will tell you, cleaning is futile, sitting down is a pipe-dream.  Good nutrition, healthy activities to nurture their growing minds and non-destructive movement are all goals to which we strive – but after 11 hours of 2 kids not yet in all-day school, you start rationalizing and bargaining for whatever will provide the least amount of screaming (from the parent or the kid – whichever.)

By 4:30pm today I  was all too happy to allow my kids and 60 pound dog to tear the (expensive, white) covers from my bed and jump and wrestle till they were (hopefully) tuckered out.  Yes, I’ll have to make the bed again, and yes, there is even more puppy fur and dog snoots on the covers than there was yesterday, but it made them happy and nobody got (seriously) injured.

Bebe H had her fancy, adorable Flamingo dress on and kept trying to see herself in the narrow mirror hanging juuuuuuust above her eyesight.  She didn’t get to see how cute she looked, but I did.
