Now that the weather is warm in Michigan, the kids have been spending a lot of time outdoors. I was looking for them the other night when it was time for dinner. “Will! Sydney!” I hollered.

Bad Mother book
Ooo.

Girls who Rock the World, Part II
I realize I haven’t shared any Sydney stories lately. That’s because I spend all my time being a bad mom to Will, but not Sydney. I’m kidding! A couple weeks ago we had some really windy Spring days.
