Great Kids!

You know, sometimes as a parent, you just have to brag.  I know we all feel the same way, just bursting with parental pride, but really, this time it's true.  I have the best kids ever!  Maybe it's because we homeschool and they are used to being carted around everywhere, I don't know, but they are just such good little sports that sometimes I can hardly believe it.  Take this simple photo I shot.  


This is a picture of the kids hanging out in Pottery Barn Kids.  We made a quick weekend trip down to Minneapolis to get all of the finishing touches for the kids' new rooms and bathrooms, and as always, we ended up hauling the kids around to store after store.  Some kids would throw a tantrum about having to hang out in adult stores all day.  Some would simply become rowdy and unmanageable.  But on this particular day, mine were complete angels.  Maddi brought a pile of children's books, and in each store they found a place to make themselves comfy and she read away.  It was almost too good to be true.  Even the store workers were amazed.  It certainly isn't all of the time that you feel like you're doing alright as a parent, but the one in ten days that you do, you have to seize the moment.  Then the other nine days become somehow worth it!
