Sometimes I have a little trouble keeping it all together. Lucky for me my kids have my back.
Shane is good at reminding me about little things. Like "Mom, do you have your backpack?" (because I forgot it one time at the zoo park and we had to walk all the way back there to get it.)
One day I was driving to a friend's house and couldn't remember exactly where it was. When I started going down a dirt path I realized I had gone the wrong way and had to call her and figure it out. The next time we went back he said, "Mom, remember to NOT go down that dirt road!"
Sadly he's not the only one who needs to keep tabs on me.
On Saturday I took the girls to Kroger and found a coveted "car cart" in the cart corral so I parked next to it and put Marissa in. She was so excited, and then I realized I had left my wallet at home (hey, at least I realized it before I started shopping!) and I had to pull her out and tell her we had to go back home because I forgot my wallet. The poor girl was devastated. Flash forward to today when I dropped Shane off at school and told Marissa we were gonna stop at Kroger. She said, "Mom, do you have your wallet? And I realized at that moment that I actually didn't. Thank goodness I have my kids to keep me in line! And cute Sadie, because it is hard to get too frustrated with yourself when you have chubby cheeks like these to kiss on.

Sorry Marissa and Shane, some things never change. Your mom has always had a little issue with remembering things. I think it's hereditary.

I just got caught up on a months worth of your blog! You make life with 3 kids look so good! haha! Marissa cracks me up and reminds me so much of my Claire. Shane is growing so big, I can't believe it! And that sweet little baby girl! So cute!
