There are 6 of us. Sweetness works his butt off. Literally dawn to dusk and beyond. He also travels. Just to give you an example - this week he literally left our house Monday early early - got home Tuesday night expecting to stay the night and had a customer ask him to be at a location 3 hours away at 6am. He ate dinner with us and was out the door.
Our oldest is currently working a summer job full time in anticipation of his Freshman year at college. #2 is busy with soccer, work and social life. It's a struggle to get the 6 of us together.
It's honestly the hardest phase so far in my life - and that is saying a lot! I'm probably just saying that because I'm in that phase - but whatever.
In hopes of making the most of what could be the last year with our six pack - I bought a book called Adventure Challenge (family version) I'll link it when I get a sec. I had each of my kids randomly pick a challenge (scratch off) and be in charge of that challenge - I went along with them and paid - left all the planning up to the child. I was hoping to accomplish at least 4 challenges on our 3 day trip together - but we only got around to 2 of them. 2 more to go - posts to follow.
Then I was SO INSPIRED by a segment I saw on Studio 5 that I wanted to do an Olympic party as well. Considering our schedules - I decided to combine several things into one 90 minute 6 pack moment.
