It sounds like a wonderfully beautiful weekend. Isn't it awesome when the stars align just right and everyone gets along, behaves, and has fun?? It makes the moments even more magical. You last part sounds like me. I want to be more patient and be the mom I want to be, the mom I know I can be, but some days it's soooo hard. We've had so much crummy weather too and that definitely dampens the spirits. Thanks for sharing yoru wonderful weekend with us.

The cabin, lake, marshmallow, 4-wheeler kind of lifestyle. So fun, and so unique to where I live.<BR/><BR/>And Kathryn, your thoughts on being a patient mother nail it for me too.
