A Timely Nap

Just when I'm tired from cleaning up the toilet paper strewn throughout the house,

vacuuming the crackers that have been dumped and jumped on,

telling him to talk with kind words,

asking him to not spit, hit or scratch,

when I'm ready to punch my time card and take a break...

He falls asleep..

..And when he wakes up, we start again!

Sleep long my sweet boy.

Team Spurgeon

Despite the matching outfits,

the decorated car,

the anticipation for the past 2 years since the last reunion,

the fantastic teamwork my children demonstrated,

we still didn't win this years

Mathews Family Reunion Amazing Race.

It was an absolute blast!!

It's hilarious looking at all our scavenger hunt pictures we had to take.

We were using Kenley's new camera with the timer setting.

In every picture we started running away before the picture actually snapped.

Makes for a great action shot!
