Hardy Family: June 22nd

Dear Hardy Children- I just want to tell you how truly Blessed I am to have you all in my life, the trials you give, (some really big and really unexpected, and some very hurtful), the happiness you bring, The beautiful smiles I get when I do something so exciting for you, the anger you have when I say "not today" or just say "no" The BIG FAT KISSES you HAVE to give me, or when you just need a BIG FAT squeeze, and all the I LOVE yous that I receive throughout the days, weeks, and months!! I really am truly blessed. However I want you all to know that I am blessed in another way. I get to stay home with you, but I still have a job to do. My job is to take care of you. YES! Take care of you, clean the house, wash your dirty clothes, make sure that Daddy is ALWAYS smiling. I have other things to do, then bring you to McDonald's, or Subway, or fun places EVERYDAY. I am so very sorry that I can not take you to fun places everyday. But when we get to do fun things I expect good behaved children. Not potty mouth kids, or upset kids, I expect good kids. The other not so fun days, I still expect good, happy well behaved children. Because time out is getting old. Today was one of those "good" days where I get last minute notice that a "magician" was going to be at the Library, we tried SO hard to make it, but Cam didn't want to listen because he was "building" something, Austin you however listened a little I had to tell you like 3 times to get dressed, Candice Sue....your 3 you really honestly don't need to take your OWN showers in your OWN bathroom yet, you have a few years to grow up, Ethan and Sammie you had to go with my flow. We quickly got into the car and as we were getting ready to drive off, Rowdy was hanging out, outside because the fence was OPEN! So finally after all that fun we were on the road to excitement, as we were all singing in the car, we got to the library to find that they are all out of tickets.. So I'm not going to say a name but decided to beat up my car and throw a full out temper tantrum, punch his brother, and say a potty word. How fair is this? It was NOT my fault, so after lunch and going back to the Library for the next show, YOU got to miss out on the first 15mins! I really hope that you learn for next time. However the show was AWESOME, Craig Davis put on a great show. We all had a BLAST! Cameren really wanted a picture with Craig Davis....so here you all are, hanging out with this Magician. When I realized you are all wearing pretty much the same shorts! (must have been my flavor of clothing today)
