The "Be Four Places at Once" Day

Ben's work always has a fun party right before summer starts. Because we have three kids, this year Ben had to run into work for a few hours while I was out playing with the kids. It was fun...of course there's not much a mother can do when your 5 year old wants to box with giant gloves and you're holding the baby...except take pictures, of course! Tyler wasn't so sure about the idea, but was a good sport so Trent could play. After eating and boxing, Ty wanted to jump while Trent went down some slides. I can keep an eye on everyone through the chaos until...the jump house Tyler was in deflated and trapped about 5 kids inside. Fortunately, one of those kids was about 12 years old, the only one over 4 years, and he immediately rounded up all the kids and started handing them through the opening to the parents. I lost that kid and didn't get to thank him, but I loved him and his parents that day!
After that moment of fun, I found Trent through the rush of kids and we hurried to leave for Trent's first T-ball game....which was promptly rained out after 4 minutes of us being there. By that time Ben had left work and caught up with us however, so I sat in the car with Paige and Tyler and breathed for what felt like the first time that day. :) Did I mention I was also coming and going from our Girl's Camp fundraiser?...which also got rained out. Felt like a LONG day...with lots of good stories!
