Are We Tired?

School's out and by the end of the day, the kids are already exhausted. We go outside after breakfast...swim, play, weather permitting...we don't return until time to cook dinner. It's taking it's toll already on my sweet baby Brook. Yesterday, she was being ignored for using and unpleasant tone of voice w/me. After saying something several times and still being ignored for being so rude she yells "YOU NEED YOUR MAPPIN' DONE!!!" and slams the door! First of all since she couldn't see me, I laughed my head off, but I don't acknowledge someone when they are using nasty tones with me. I think we need a midday break from the sun and fun...don't you?
