Four

Jul 142011

It’s not always easy to play as a foursome. It actually works best when they break up and play two-on-two; JD with LB and Munchkin with BB. Or, all three boys can play. Or my sons can play with Munchkin. But that foursome results in someone being left out; because he’s the youngest, or because he doesn’t have the lemon Popsicle, or because she’s a girl. They really did okay. But it’s trying for them at times.

And our ears.

But it’s good at the same time. And hard for my heart. I’ve been already hearing the “I wish we could live here” or “I wish Munchkin lived next to us” type stuff that started after our last visit. And we don’t even leave until tomorrow morning. It’s just hard.

At least I have cute pictures of the lot of them to look at over the next few months when it all feels like too much to handle. Because it will, here and there. And I’ll just make the best of it, as I always do.

Mmhmm. She’s the most beautiful little girl on the planet. I’m not the only one who thinks so, either! And, for those wondering, her first day went smashingly. She made a sunshine picture and, unlike the rest of the kids in the class, she was overly careful (ahem) to make sure that the rays went the whole way around the sun.

Yep. Cutest and smartest.

Nope. Not biased at all.

(And for those wondering about me, I’m doing “fine.” Obviously, as you can figure from the picture here, D took the time to share some pictures with me tonight, including a shot of her uber-cool shoes. I got to hear the stories. And I was proud. On our household end, BigBrother kept me busy with the transition from crib-to-toddler-bed. Life doesn’t slow down much, does it? I did indulge in a chocolate ice cream bar this evening. And earlier? My Husband brought me a Milky Way. He knows me or something.)
