The Kids are Allright

Taking Brutus on his morning walks are always an event (when it involves the kids).  Sometimes there is waiting while roller blades or roller skates are put on, or a bike or skateboard is found.  I am sure the neighbors can't get enough of us all especially because if you know my children you know how crazy LOUD they are, even at (especially at) 8 a.m.  Emry of course had one of her great ideas for a new way to go the 2 blocks to the park.  Notice her arm looped through the wagon handle, nice Emry, one less thing for me to carry/push/pull/hold.

Then it was homework, chores and reading time.  (With messes, whining and very annoying kid stuff thrown in all throughout).  All in all, the kids are better than all right......
