We're home

I don't remember

having a painted map

to play on 

at the school 

playground

when I was little

when did they start

doing this

maybe I would know

my geography better

if it had been around

because I 

simply think

it's sooo

cool!

Of course

I immediately 

wanted to bring

the kids on it 

to play

to learn

and possibly 

maybe

get some cool 

pictures

is that too much 

to ask for

well... yes

especially when

the night before

there was a rain storm

and left behind

were some 

very fun

very wet

puddles 

on a 

very hot

day.

Can you really
blame them
I think not
when this might
actually be
their first
real romp
in a perfect
puddle
big enough
for two!

So I settled on
a shout out
Hi!!!
I think most
imoms
might be in this
vacinity
remember
my geography
is iffy.
;)

My only shot
of our hometown
team
the boys
as us girls
would say
the twins
especially Azalea
are starting
to pick up
on the difference.

Her only appearance
on the map
was brief
she was engaged
with the puddle
the entire
time
at one point
she just plopped
her little
hot butt
right in the middle
of the water
shorts
diaper
and all.

I had to laugh
at all of it
hey
don't they say
if you can't
beat em
join em
so here is
a shot of
us
girls
splish splashin
away!

At least
the puddle
was right next to
the map
close
yet so far
away
from what
I expected
and isn't that
the lesson
here

family

I never expected
I never imagined
it all to be
quite like
this

but now I see
the real
reality
is actually

better
more than
I could
dream

We're family
We're home

and I've never
been happier

with everything
just the way
it is.
