the ranch

i have learned 3 important lessons about vacationing with small children.

1. you cannot care what they eat and what they do not eat. this includes dirt.
2. you cannot care if they sleep or do not sleep. naps, bedtime, throw it all out the window.
3. you cannot care what they smell like, unless the smell includes poop.

i'm sure some of you are wondering why it took me so long to clue in. but i applied all of the above to our one and only vacation this summer and it was divine. the ranch was divine. order was restored to my universe.

the boys were in heaven. so many things to do, so many people to play with, so many ways to get utterly filthy.

i loved every second of it and can't wait to get back.
