Note to Self

(Apparently it was "that time of the month" for Blogger last Thursday when I first posted this because this post and all its comments were lost.  This is a re-post.) 


It's probably best to not gather up the kids



and the puppy

and two new kites found in Easter baskets

and head out back all together

to assemble both kites with the help of the dog



and fly both kites at once....with first time pilates.



Because even though there was shockingly little breeze,



it can change at a moments notice out here on the plains.



And when the tug on the string was too much for the novice kite fliers



and the little girl panics and let's go...

Mom just can't run fast enough across the back acre with a camera bouncing around her neck

to prevent this from happening:


Next time, we'll just fly one kite at a time.

I laughed out loud reading this! How insanely hilarious and frustrating all at the same time.

Well...lesson learned:)

You are sooo soooo sooo ambitious!!! Wow, to take 3 year old twins and a puppy to fly a kite takes ALOT of patience! What a fun thing for the both of them! I hope Bell enjoyed her time as well! Did you get the kite out of the tree? That just completes the story!! Oh yeah, how did you manage to do this all AND take great pics? Awesome!

Ha ha! Jack Hammer's face in the first photo really sets the mood for the whole story! :)
