Live a little

I am a high strung mother.  I've been told by numerous strangers (this is totally embarrassing!!!) to 'ease up' on my kids....I think it was a 'nice' way of saying 'chill out'.

Each day I try to do something fun and unexpected with my children.  Sometimes they have to remind me that I promised, and I have to focus REALLY hard on not taking that 'fun' away as a means of punishment....I know.  I have a long ways to go, and lots to learn, but I'm trying.

Tonight, I decided I really needed to live a little...and so did my kids.  I grabbed the three kites I was 'saving', for who knows what, and asked if Ryan would mind postponing his reports to help me.  He happily obliged, and who knew we could 'live a little' after bedtime?
Getting some instructions...

Run for it!

This is one very determined little boy. 






SO happy that mommy decided to "Live a little".

Finally got it up and flying!


We had so much fun, till daddy had a little unfortunate crash landing....I think he tried to fix it with duct tape while I untangled the other two kite's strings.  

Lesson Learned:  it's always fun to live a little.
