Ups and Downs and fun all around šŸ˜‰

Whew!

Some days are just harder than others and I’m thankful we made it thru yesterday! Travis was sick with a stomach virus and was completely out of commission. Since he works from home and I stay home with the kids, I’m used to having his help during the day. Yesterday I realized how much I appreciate that help!!!

Being a stay-at-home mom is so very rewarding but it can be the hardest thing I’ve ever done at times. Chloe and Ryder are in a stage where they argue about almost everything one minute and then play together like best friends the next. The struggle is real! Luckily, little baby Bents is the BEST baby in every way. He sleeps well, eats well, smiles all day, and just loves life! He’s a complete joy! Chloe and Ryder are, too, they just come with a little whining and (a lot) of personality these days šŸ¤Ŗ  I wouldn’t change a single thing about anyone tho- Ryder is one-of-a-kind , a “strong boy” who thinks he’s a muscle man that can do anything! He loves pretending and thinks poots are hilarious— typical boy! Chloe is an amazing big sister and she is as unique and rare as the day is long. Currently, she’s a Descendants super fan and really loves having friends over to play. I hope by keeping this blog, I can remember more about them at each little stage. Time goes too quickly!

So- back to our chaotic day yesterday- it had its challenges but it’s joys as well. ❤️

We got our elephant ears planted as planned...




And the weather was so much cooler so it was the perfect day to be outside! It made me long for fall days but I know it’s gonna be hot around here for a couple more months. We will have to rely on the pool and slip-n-slide a little longer. šŸ‘šŸ»

After some refreshment for us all....



and after some much needed naps, it was time for a McDonalds date. $1.99 Happy Meals for the win.

Ryder boo is always flexin’ these days! 

Apparently, he also has a strong affinity for nuts-lots and lots of nuts, in his hot fudge sundae!

And last, but not least, Chloe modeling her latest Descendants fashion- an over-priced Mal dress from Target that just makes her so happy! https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1tAgcSDGKDLbS5K66FXG736M3kHDidJIG
Worth every penny! 

Well, a ton of cleaning awaits and I need to get started before I come up with an excuse to do something more fun! 

Until tomorrow,
