free time to swim, go to the zoo, lay around the house, and do whatever the heck we want to do!\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On a random note, to all of you who didn&#8217;t hear my rant on fb yesterday&#8230;3 kids with me all the time does have it&#8217;s moments.\u00a0 One moment in particular was at the grocery store yesterday.\u00a0 I told the kids we were only getting a few things, and somehow I managed to fill my buggy, top and bottom, with things we &#8220;needed.&#8221;\u00a0 For the most part, the maniacs were really pretty good, but we had hit our limit by the time I made it to the checkout counter.\u00a0 The lady was scanning my groceries as my maniacs were swinging on the metal poles and begging for gum and candy.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not sure why they continue to ask for candy at the checkout.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve NEVER bought it and I NEVER will.\u00a0 Anyway, as she was scanning my items I realized I didn&#8217;t have a wallet.\u00a0 Lovely!\u00a0 I happened to have some money in my purse for another purpose, and I was thankful I was able to use that on the items I <em>had <\/em>to have.\u00a0 I very apologetically paid for some of my groceries, and left the rest for the poor woman to put back.\u00a0 I felt horrible!\u00a0 Good times in the land of mom!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The real thing I sat down to post&#8230;Sorry, I tend to get sidetracked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yesterday the girls asked for a snack.\u00a0 We made ladybugs.\u00a0 They&#8217;re easy, fun, and good for them!\u00a0 The sweet little table was Brad&#8217;s when he was little, so it&#8217;s a little rough looking, but perfect for ladybug snacks.<\/p>\n<h2
