We had a great day until about 2:30pm. The kids were probably tired, I know I certainly was(that was probably the REAL issue if I want to be honest!) and they started fighting. We were getting ready to go swim at Lifetime and then rock climb for an hour (pictures!). I was on the phone and had to get off...HELLO...that is not a good way to make the mama happy. Belinda reared her ugly head, and we were off to run an errand and go to Lifetime. I needed to make a pit stop at the post office to mail Natalie some of my favorite things. I'm just a' yelling away the whole time in the car blah blah blah blah. I work myself up into quite a tizzy. We get there in line and there is a sweet lady there. The second I step into line she starts chatting with me and telling me how sweet the kids are. She is a mother of older (35-40 year old) children. She keeps talking about the summer and how I need to enjoy them they get big so fast...how hers would sometimes fight and argue but not anymore... now they are planning trips together...the whole bit. She's talking to me the whole time (15 minutes) we are in line. She was laying it on think...everything I needed to hear she said!!! I just started to laugh inside thinking about how funny and gentle Heavenly Father can be with his little reminders. I was like...did you have a camera in my car? I don't know why the "bickering" (as my parents used to call it) bugs me so much, but it does. This is the first summer I have thought about putting everybody into summer school!

cute pics! that looks like a blast. maya has the same shirt as your daughter (i'm blanking out on her name, grrr.) but in green. poor hope and her teeth! i think teething is mason's problem, too. he's working on molars. my kids were both out of control whiny today. bed time could not come soon enough!
I was lucky with Connor, he never bit me once! Good luck with the teeth. The rock climbing sure looks fun!
heather - that post made me laugh so hard. i love that lady in the line... and i can just imagine hunter soaking that in, giving her thumbs up behind your back... poor hopey. oh goodness. she needs her best auntie to snuggle her. one month!
How fun that your kids like to rock climb. My hubby takes my four year old to the rock climbing gym all the time she loves it. I on the other hand am terrifyed of heights I went once forced myself to the top and about peed my pants! You have to love how the lord works!
Look at those little climbers! They are brave, I would be way too scared(and uncoordinated)to do that. Good luck with Hope,teething is the worst!
Rock climbing look so fun for the kids! I am excited there is a Lifetime Fitness being built close to us--do your kids love it? Sorry Hope has a tooth and you're still nursing! My kids were late teethers so I never had to deal with teeth & nursing, but it was also kind of annoying not to have teeth. They're so limited on what they can eat...if that makes you feel better :) probably not.
