Day 149: The BEST MOM EVERRR!

This is what I heard from my soon-to-be 5 year old today. We had a very busy and productive day and just when I was feeling totally exhausted, her saying this was just a mental boost for me. We first went to bootcamp which was long overdue and I knew no one. Amazing how missing a few classes here and there over the past couple of months puts you as the "new girl." Despite the awkwardness, I was happy to get back to working out and the kids did so great1 Well, Bryce did have to pee-pee accidents but there was no running away or fighting me when I put him back in the stroller; it was great. Afterwards, we stayed a while and played at the park for a bit. Bryce and Skylar were having a blast but poor Eva was a hot and sweaty mess. When Bryce came over and laid down on my lap, complaining that he was hot, I took that as my cue to get out of there. But I wasn't quite ready to go home since I was sure our cleaning lady was still there. So I put in a phone call and found out that Papa's pool was "open." I decided not to tell the kids ahead of time and when we pulled in Skylar asked "why are we at Papa's house?" That's when I said "well, who wants to go swimming?!" The kids went bananas in the backseat with collective giggles and shouts of "me! me!" And that's when Skylar said "mama, you're the best mom ever!" It meant the world. Love these kids!
