Fun

Before I had Claire, EVERYONE kept telling me how hard having 3 kids was going to be. After she was born I figured I was super mom because the first few months weren't that bad. Things seemed to flow well and we were all getting along and happy. Well, the month of September wasn't that way at all. Maybe it's because I have been potty training Will, but something happened and I've been way more stressed out, and consequently I've been a horrible mother.

I don't want to be a bad mom, I want to be a fun, happy mom. So the past few days we've done everything that the kids have wanted to do. Yesterday we went to a park we've never been to, looked at toys at Walmart (also got some groceries), bought a toy for each kid at the dollar store, played chalk, read books, went to another park that friends happened to be at as well, and had tacos for dinner!

Today we haven't done quite as many things but we did go to a fun park we rarely go to that has an awesome walking trail surrounded by trees and tons of rocks and boulders. The kids got to do lots of exploring and rock climbing, and Claire was apparently having fun too! And we had a picnic.
