I survived....

Last Monday Andy and Tara didn't have a sitter and needed help with Samara.  Mom and I helped out (I had the kids in the a.m. and Mom took over when I went to work.)  I was nervous, but we all survived!  My mantra for the day was "do not let them see your fear."  Ha ha!  Actually it was much easier than I had expected.  Claire had preschool and once I got Fielder down for a nap I was able to spend some time alone playing with my niece!
Playing with play doh....fun for about 5 minutes
Playing in the pretend kitchen.  It was great fun mashing up the leftover muffins, crumbling them to bits and then eating it!  Time to clean up?  No problem, just bring out the vacuum cleaner Charlie!

I think Mom got the harder shift again.  All 3 kids, finishing up lunch, putting Fielder down for a nap, and then trying to get Samara to take a nap!  Andy brought over her brand new cot which she loves, but I had a feeling she wouldn't be too keen on taking a nap in the middle of my living room!

Do I look like I'm going to nap on this cot?!
Not sure how she did it, but Mom got her to fall asleep on the floor!
I'd say it was a pretty good day!  After going to work and putting my kids to bed I was BEAT! 
P.S. - Tara, do you want the shoes that Samara is wearing in the above picture?  They don't fit Claire anymore  :-)
