Things to Do - Random Links & Cherish This Day

One of the consequences of having the girls so close in age is that I never spent much one-on-one time with either of them. Thus, when the girls both started grade school, I was pretty excited to finally have time alone with my third child. But I must admit that I'm a little overwhelmed by one - turns out that playing (as in actual one-on-one down on the floor, I'm a dragon and you're a monster playing) is not my specialty.

Even when T and I go on adventures, at first I'm thrilled by how easy everything becomes - no fights over where to go, only one child who NEEDS to go to the bathroom, the ability to buy snacks without spending a zillion dollars (or to pack snacks without carrying a zillion pounds) - easy, right? Well, sort of, but I end up missing the chaos and confusion that comes with three.

So when T and I have after preschool plans, I often end up taking his friends with us. Usually three kids total, preferably two girls. Because this configuration is my comfort zone.

And I just stand back and photograph everything, watching their minds fill with wonder with every new discovery made.
