The Day of Pit Stops

Today wasn't our best day together.  I love summer, so I begin every day with high expectations! 

Maybe my kids are burned out. 

They have been bickering and disrespectful.

Nonetheless, we go forward.  Hoping things will mellow as the day continues. 

We make a pit stop at the Farmer's Market.  We buy a couple things.

Dyleva starts freaking out.  "I want this....Mommy can I have that....Why can't I .......!!!@#$#$%^^&

Oh my.

I take them back home.    Seriously?

The market was supposed to be a pit stop on the way to Mommy's park for a nature walk and picnic.  But their little keesters ended up back home. 

We regrouped.  We discussed.  We resolved.  We tried again. 

Dyleva was ready.  

We went to Mommy's park, and had a lovely picnic.  There was some slight friction from Dylan.  We muddled through.  We began our hike.  



We stopped to admire the beautiful wáter lilies.  Maybe a little too close.  Next thing I know, Dylan's in the wáter. 

Man.  

Was not happy that I was cracking up and taking fotos.

We were SO close.  
Tears.  
He's screaming.  We clean him up.  The mood is not right.  We leave. 

It turned into a pit stop.



We all go home.  We nap/rest.  We regroup again. 


I have the bright idea of going to the races!  
Why not?
Fast cars make everyone happy, right?


I've never been and why wouldn't today be the perfect day since Dyleva has been spot on thus forward!

Ironically, the ultimo pit stop, literally ended up being the most successful. 

Wow it was loud!  But we had fun choosing which car would win each time.

Our last "Pit stop" was finally successful!
