The End of My Rope

After a long morning with cranky and dehydrated kids...

after a short nap time with overly-tired and crying kids...

after an endless afternoon of failed potty training and entertaining kids...

after an exasperating evening of misbehaving and constant demands...

after a prolonged bedtime of inattention and incessant chatter...

after finally taking a moment for myself...

after E getting out bed to tell me C has to go potty...

C tells me, "I love you when you're Mommy,"

and I think the end of rope just may stretch a little further after all.

Hand-Me-Downs

When Big Big Sister gets a new bike,













a big bike,













with pink sparkles,



















Little Big Sister gets a "new" bike.



















When Little Big Sister gets a new bike,













Bubba gets a "new" bike, too.



















Well, a trike, but he doesn't know the difference.



















Yet.

The End of the Beginning

E's last day of kindergarten is today.


C is (finally) close to being out of diapers.


M really isn't a baby anymore.

(Sorry, West-siders, for the Cougar outfit. It was a gift; I swear! Besides, I wasn't the one who dressed him; blame Mr. Einstein.)


It's the end of many beginnings here in the Einstein household, but I couldn't be more excited to see what the future holds for all of us.

Wordless Wednesday--Memorial Day Clouds


Seen on Memorial Day.
Preceded, and followed, by rain.
