Some days we just get it right.

About a week ago Owen had two friends over to hang. I read about an outside game where you fill a garbage bag with water and then hit it repeatedly until it explodes. Perfect! Right up just about every kid's alley. So we swam in our underwear no less and filled up about fifty garbage bags. Lily even got in on the action. Owen managed to hold onto the title of three hits to have a bag explode, you had to know it would turn into a competition right. It's not fun, unless there is a winner. At least, if you're a little boy that is.

It doesn't happen all the time but on days like this I feel better about my mothering. That I'm not totally screwing it all up. That they are happy and have a good life.
