right now

One child is on the school bus

with her "100" cheerios for the

100th day of school in her backpack.

She is happy and wearing her

school shirt.

The littlest baby is waiting at the

screen door, with her nose pressed to the glass.

Notice that she wearing a little ponytail in her hair.

It has become necessary in order for her to see.

And the middle little "stinker" is sitting on the pot.

Waiting to be wiped--ahhh the joys of mothering.

He refuses to wear ANY clothes while doing "business"

How soon is nap time?

I'm ready....
