Reality is in the Details

I posted this picture on Instagram today because I thought it was pretty.

It rained hard all day long today so the boys and I needed an extra project to do indoors. Naturally, we made marshmallows. Because, why not? I made a hot chocolate mix courtesy of Martha Stewart and put it all together for an afternoon snack. It sounds dreamy. Even to me.

The reality is, in order to take this picture, I had to shove a tower of dirty lunch dishes into the sink, and do a substantial crop job to avoid showing my kitchen floor which was covered in toys and kinetic sand. I was also ignoring my kids who kept calling my name. Furthermore, that mug in the top corner...it got dumped in the sink because the kid who was supposed to receive it threw an enormous fit over his school work. No work = no treats.

All this to say, don't believe everything you see.

Also, it turns out, it's never too wet to go outside.

Sheltering in Place

In the past three months Corona Virus has more or less turned the world on its head. I feel almost guilty for not being more stressed or put out by the whole thing. We have been extremely fortunate. What we thought was a most impractical move on our part, wound up being a huge blessing. With our two boys and our two newborns, we moved out of our house with no yard in the city limits and into my parents' house in the country while waiting for our new house to be completed. The weekend we moved "quarantine," "social distancing," and "shelter in place" became the new mantra of our state. Moving in with my parents meant ten plus acres of play space and two extra able bodied adults to help even out the score with the four kids. Win for the St. Clair's! Unfortunately, my parents are beginning to realize they may have made an error in judgement. Yesterday, Sawyer gave their cat swimming lessons. Last week th...

Advanced Placement

Not to brag or anything, but I think we are raising some very advanced children. At two-years-of-age, our girls have already worked out the art of manipulation and deflection. It's the antithesis of endearing. They went missing the other day - the girls did. That's never a good situation. They were in the house, and I knew they were in the house, but I couldn't see or hear them. Silence is the loudest alarm system. Fischer took action and found them both in my bathroom. "MOM!" I met them in the hall. Carter was covered in clumps and blobs of hand cream. "Emi did it," was her unsolicited response. "No," I told her. "I think you did it." That night I got ready for bed and pulled out my one "self-care" splurge - my face cream . It was in my drawer where I always keep it. The lid was screwed on. And it was empty, wiped clean. "EmmmeerrrrrSON!" Guilty. They were both ...

Week in the Real World

Exhausted. Mentally and emotionally drained. And that's where I'm at, at the end of this week. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it. I've been defeated by a six-year-old and a three-year-old. Plus a couple of babies. This is Ross' first week back to school full-time after a wonderfully long summer and spring of being mostly at home. We are grateful he has a job, but we are sad to see him go. This is the first time since March that I have been running solo with all four kids all day everyday. I was feeling pretty low by the end of this week, and then I had to give myself a reality check. We have a friend who has been doing this for a whole year. No nights off. No weekends off. Her husband has been deployed since last fall. I have it pretty good. But, lest you think better of me than you should, sit tight, and I'll give you a little glimpse into our week. We don't do transitions...

Not so adventures of the St. Clair clan...
