They're so good

Today was one of those rare days. Everyone woke up in a great mood and the morning seemed to roll smoothly. While I was downstairs with the boys I heard Camilla wake, dress herself, and make her bed. I love that girl! I then heard her walk to the top of the stairs. She stopped and shouted down the stairwell, "Do you want me to grab some clothes for the boys?" I smiled big and let out a laugh. I said sure, but she only managed a pair of socks for Joseph. Since the day started out so well, I thought we'd hit up the pool for the morning.


Hyrum had a minor fit at the entrance, but the changing went relatively well considering there was one of me and three of them. I decided to take a picture of them before we got in the water. It was Joseph's first time and needed to be documented. Everything went well but it was borderline too much to handle with all three and just one little me. Luckily my kiddos were extra well behaved and listening pretty good. Joe has no pics in the water. My hands were too full keeping an eye on the other two, but he loved it.


At the end, the kids all left without a fuss. We got changed and found our boots and headed out to have a snack. The kids found a little kids table and munched some cookies and a granola bar. A few minutes later we were finally ready to head to the car. I left with Joe's carseat over my arm, Hyrum's hand in mine and Camilla in tow clutched onto the swim bag. Although they did really well, we might wait for Daddy before we go again.  As I drove home I peeked at the three kids snoozing away in the back seat and thought "Wow, I really do have good kids."

You really do have good kids, Addie :) I am so impressed that you attempted and succeeded in an unassisted trip to the pool with all three! Go Mama!
