Model United Nations Project

The Firstborn signs up for literally EVERY extracurricular activity known to man, a boy after my own heart. Still, we are so busy that I completely forgot a commitment I’d made to a new mother and stood her up accidentally on Friday. 😭 DH told me not to make any more commitments until October. I’m just grateful when I remember to pick up our kids. 😅 

[Me to DH: Wow. I feel like a real a**hole.

DH: Welcome to my life.

So we are all kinds of winning over here. 😂💪🏼😭]

Today’s activity: Model United Nations.

Have we mentioned he’s in the 90th%? In early January, we were the same height and weight. He now has a couple of inches and 15 lbs. on me… 😅 The clock does NOT stop!

“Mom, what happens if I start laughing and I can’t help it?”

He was so serious. Ironically, he had a black eye from making contact with The Fourth’s head on Friday.

Fab Fourth

“Mom,” he leaned over and whispered to me the second Sunday Mass began. “One time I spent a whole hour in the kitchen.”

“What were you doing?”

“Watching the clock.”

It is truly amazing that he doesn’t fall on the Spectrum.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields

We chose a Friday this time, which turned out to be way less crowded. It was DH's turn to take some time to himself -- a long overdue turn! Hopefully, the weight of housework and childcare falls more evenly after Labor Day when I'm *finally* finished with my certification. (Although the professional association exam is in October. So after October... It has been a looooong run.)
