We've had a rough week of sleepless nights and tantrum filled days. Yesterday I went so far as to grab my keys and bag and get in the car (without the kids). Of course, I didn't make it out of the garage, but I sat there in the car for a long time wanting to drive far, far away. Today however, was a bright spot in the week, and we had a really fun time at the park with friends. At one point Benjamin and his buddy Lilly were playing by the river and I managed to get the kids to look at the camera for a few pictures. This one is by far my favorite. It's just so Benjamin - crazy hair, muddy, wet rolled up pants, too-small shoes he took from Bella so he'd stop hurting his feet on the rocks (so she went barefoot), and the cutest smile I've on him in days. I can't decide if he's more like Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) or Tom Sawyer, but either way, he's my adorable little hooligan.
He and Lilly played happily in the icy-cold water for over an hour.
Little Miss Bella played in the water a bit too, but had much more fun snacking and warming her feet in the sun. Smart girl.

They are adorable! I understand the feeling of wanting to get away from the tantrums, though. Good luck!
sorry for all the kid drama. I swear camry goes through weeks at a time of just being ornery but then she snaps out of it. good luck. at least you got outside. that always helps me out.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thought about leaving the kids for some sanity. :)
Definitely a cute, cute picture of Benjamin!
