So what if there are a few mornings here and there that find my children eating Goldfish crackers for breakfast. And ice cream isn’t the worst snack in the world – it is full of calcium for growing bones. And a little vacuum dirt never hurt anyone (like your kids don’t put their mouths on everything in the house at some point or another!). And if my oldest wants to wear Cars underwear with his brother and sister because it’s fun and he doesn’t care if he looks like an exploding sausage in them? So be it.
I allow myself those lapses in judgement because I do make up for it in others ways. Visit me at DC Metro Moms to read more[DC Metro Moms closed up shop as of July 2010 – this post can now be found HERE] (and seriously – PLEASE read this since it’s the only “real” post that I’ve written in weeks).
Did you catch that? This is not a real post – it’s a sign post for the one over at DC Metro Moms. Where I tend to publish material that doesn’t involve pictures of bald My Little ponies or yet another pretty picture from a decor blog. So yeah – I kind of want you to read it…
What great photos of your kids! And that was a very touching, beautiful post. I commented over there but forgot to say so sorry for your loss, Kate.
Those pictures are great. And you're right, if Oliver doesn't care about a little skin showing then so be it! Very sweet.
I can totally relate to this – even though it's a "fake" post.
And I love those pictures!
:-D Anna
LOL – going to read now!
So cute! I love your sense of humor, Kate and I am headed over to read it now. Have a great weekend.
going over there now.
I'm heading over there, but first I had to say how incredibly adorable the kids look in their matchy outfits.
My exceptionally picky-eater-4-year-old settled on chocolate pudding and a saltine for breakfast. That has vaulable nutrients in them…right..??
Beautiful post!Your art of mothering is fantabulous. Your children are so lucky to have a mom like you. And they are soooo cute.
Great pictures and great post. I read it and commented. :)
This is beautiful. Really, really beautiful.
i love these photos!
and thanks for being so honest about your judgement. i think we all have our lapses but are not always so honest about them.
these are the things that your kids will remember. sittin with their siblings in their "under-roos" and letting their mom get away with it!
pick your battles, huh???
xoxo
OH MY GOODNESS! How cute!!!
