We headed to the harbor before our beach day. Everyone was doing great, but then Dash and Navy started getting into it with each other. After a few warnings, they got their consequence.
Once we got to Three Arch, after bringing all of the excitement down to the sand…
Some of my kids got to explore and play…
While Navy and Dash were”handcuffed” until they started getting along!
I was out and about tonight, but had assigned work to be done before bedtime.
When I came home around midnight, I was surprised that it was not done.
You can imagine how badly I felt when I had to wake them up to do their jobs.
Navy had to clean the Family Room, and Pippi had to clean the Family Night Room.
Both eventually got up to do their work…
…but weren’t very happy.
I laughed SO HARD tonight!
See why:
I laughed at the trick…and the list of bad words!
Where does she come up with this stuff!?!
I called Micah up to see “if we should look”…
He was dying when he was signing his own name!
Micah decided to take the kids camping to Joshua Tree. I love to have a day or two by myself when they camp, but this time I felt mom guilt and drove to Joshua Tree a few hours after they left. I know that sometimes…kids just need their mamas. When I got there…I realized that I should have no guilt whatsoever! I am completely unnecessary to the camping equation.
Camp was set up completely to their liking. Micah gives them full reign, and they do a really good job.
They had their unruly day planned — including all sorts of things that might have been mom-blocked.
Navy replaces me as the mom of camp. She had a fire going, and food going for everyone who wanted it. (Notice the morning s’mores which I would have mom-blocked! Good thing Navy was in charge!)
And the exploring was in full force.
Scout found his very own machete on one of his explorations!
Again — something that might have been mom-blocked.
