Keeping the Peace

Every five weeks Jim has graduation for Chiefs Academy. This means a long day for him and an even longer day for us. My goal for today was to wear everyone out while keeping everyone happy, with minimal fighting from the big kids. We started the morning off walking Kenzie to school, then I took Emersyn and Finn to the playground. After a morning of playing we went back to pick Kenzie up and had a race home. With lunch and naps finished we just needed to survive the afternoon before dinner. We decided to take another race and head to the playground in our complex. The kids had fun playing in the sand and climbing the structure. Emme enjoyed sitting in the sand and chewing on the sand toys. Then it was on to dinner time, usually the hardest part of the day for us. I was relieved to find out that Anne and Levi were coming to my rescue. The kids were so excited to see them and it made the rest of the night fly by!

So what I have learned about staying sane with 3 kids is keep them busy, keep them outside and keep them moving!
