Let me tell you about a renewable source of energy that seems to outperform every other sources on earth: yes, you guessed it: boys (I could probably extrapolate to kids in general).

As a mother of two, I have gained huge respect for parents of more than two children. My friend Leslie has four boys. She’s a superhero to me.

 

Seeing this overload of energy-filled precious children makes me hopeful for the future. I really don’t think there is anything more rewarding and important I could do, than raising these children.

Getting into the Halloween spirit

September 2015

 Sometimes being a parent feels like a thankless job. You think you’re never doing enough. That’s how I feel today. But then I look at these pictures and I realize it doesn’t take much to make kids happy: some paint, a couple online tutorials and a choice. The choice to focus on the moment.

That day, they came home from school and asked me to paint their faces. I had fun doing it, they loved it, and I’m glad I made the choice to focus on that moment rather than worry about the work I wasn’t getting done and all the mess I’d have to clean up. I have to remember to make that simple choice more often...

Here are the boys meeting our new neighbors : Romy the cat and Socrate and Izac (the dogs).

 

I bet you didn’t know Dracula was a karateka

Also, Grandma sent some fun stickers to play with for Halloween. William looked amazing with a mexican mustache:
