They do look kind of adorable don't they? Let me tell you how cute they are all snuggled in their beds fast asleep. It didn't look this way a little earlier though. The sun came up. Then there was screaming and gnashing of teeth over what church dress to wear. Then hatched the boy who didn't want to do_____. Just fill in the blank with any direction that a mom would give. Add some explanation points at the end of every stubborn response that came out of his mouth. Then came a couple of potty accidents. at a friend's house. a friend's new, rather large house. {I do live in the OC, remember} and whining, whining, whining. Not from the potty accident cleaner as might be expected. But the potty trainer herself. Go figure. The sun went down.
Yep. There were many moments throughout this long Sunday that I could have given 1 away. or 2. or 3. But then the sun goes down and all is peaceful again. And there's a good chance that the sun will rise over happier, more agreeable Erickson kids tomorrow.
If not, a winner will be announced. Good luck!

I'll take them no matter what!
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give to just scoop them up ... grab the red wagon, mini picnic table, cooler, chairs, umbrella, beach toys, tons of snacks and head over to the beach for a long summer day. Hey ... doesn't that sound like the "beach contractor and her grandchildren"? We should make that a book!!!
xoxoxox those kids :)
