A playground for three

I have not gardened much this year. But the kids are growing. So I am thankful for that. What's changed in having three kids vs. two kids is at all hours of the day some of the three kids need me. Often they all need me at once. So while the dust collects in the corners of our home and I continue to rotate the handful of meal options I can create without much effort, we play on. Laughing, learning, and loving the good times shared.

Finally she's old enough to play on the play ground. Aidan and Ethan asked if they can all go down the slide together. Injuries flashed in my mind of all kinds. I told the boys their dad was coming home soon and we fo not have time between dinner and bath to go to the hospital. Sorry boys. But they asked to hold her at the top of the slide with a promise to not slide down.

Ethan was especially excited about little sister being on the swing. He asked if she was scared and said " don't worry Elise, big brother is here. I give you baby pushes because that's what you are... a tiny baby".
