Let’s get married & have kids so instead of trying a pumpkin beer you can stop the crying while I go back into the corn maze to find the shoe.

My favorite part of getting a child ready for school is when she says, "Oh yeah, it's Spirit Week and I need to dress like a tree today."

Fell asleep on the couch, woke up to my 2yo trying to feed me a sandwich. How’s your day going? 🙃

Yesterday I asked 3 how pre school was and she told me she didn’t like Karina because Karina cries really loudly so I said maybe Karina’s sad and 3 should be kind to her but at pick up today I heard Karina crying really loudly and now I don’t like her either
