All in a day... my friends... all in a day!

When you have six active little kids running around you really have to learn how to pack it in!

I got the kids ready and we headed to the
mall... yes to the Mall.... I needed serious retail therapy for a couple of hours! The kids were great - they really were because I told them that if they would shop at Banana Republic and Macey's (plus a couple of other shops I sprung at them) we would then go to the park and have a picnic and ride the train! Mission accomplished!

Then, of course, we ended the day like every other day - at the
pool!




Parker and Carson laughing over a "knock-knock-who's there" joke that I am pretty sure had a potty word like poo-poo head in it somewhere!

Trains, planes and automobiles!




Watch my kid swim - I can't believe it!

Heather...that is soo cool that he can finally start swimming by himself!! I swear everytime I read your blog it's like I'm reading about my Cami, cuz she potty trained herself and also as of a few weeks ago started swimming with out floaties too under the water just like Parker!! Yeah for us...We see "the light"...

My mom always says that after 4 kids it's just chaos all the time, so it doesn't matter if there are 5 or 8, or even a few extra friends, it's just chaos. They look like they had a great time all together. Parker is amazing, I can't believe he can swim that well!
