My "Easiest" Child

~I've been helping out with the store a bunch this Spring and Summer doing expos and craft fairs here and in Vegas. And I've been working Saturdays for the Summer. I do like to go in and work. When I work, Mike comes home and watches the kids so it's been working out pretty good. And I think the kids like having Daddy home more than Mommy anyway. He still makes them work and do chores, but they always seem to be happy while they work. As soon as I ask them to do something, they're just too tired, they need a snack, they have to go potty, or they just don't feel good. Um hm...

~These cute little muffins are my great helpers in the kitchen. They always want to come help Mommy make something. And help "clean out" the bowl, of course:)

~Even though we don't have a huge yard, we at least have this patch of grass. The kids (especially the girls, Lincoln takes some convincing to come outside) love to get the little pool out and come play in the water. The girls are water queens. The little neighbors will come out and play usually if we go outside. There is a 2 year old on each side of us and across the street. It's great for Aurora (who of course is always the ring leader). 

~The kids asked me one day who is my easiest child. Hm.. aka, who is your favorite?! I told them I wasn't for sure and couldn't really say who. They said it isn't Aurora because she is so hard. Given. Then Lincoln said, "Well then who was your easiest baby?" I said Lincoln! I told him that lately he's been kind of whiny and hard to get to clean up and complains when he has to, so I said I'm thinking Sequoia is my easiest right now. (She seriously is an awesome easy kid!) They were both happy with that.
