High maintenance

I was suddenly gripped by curiosity this afternoon as to whether or not our car has a spare wheel in the boot. Went outside and slowly cleared out my daughter's clobber to reveal what lay underneath:

* Two complete changes of clothes
* Sunhat
* Peaked cap
* Swimsuit
* Towel
* Leotard
* Sunscreen
* Water bottle
* Hair bands
* Anti-histamine
* Witch hazel
* Plasters
* Wet wipes
* Yoga mat
* Soft blanket
* Sand shoes
* Torch
* Hoodie
* Waterproofs
* Emergency bag of marshmallows

My sole personal.possession in the same car is the CD album Spiceworld, but no working CD player to listen to it on 🙄

How on earth did my parents cope with four girls? 🤔

Found the spare tyre 👍

THIS POST IS AWESOME! 😍😍😍 And I'm super happy you got your Spiceworld CD and I hope you'll get to listen to it soon! 😌😌😌 I understand lots of things in the car because when we go on a family day trip car ride, Josh and Emily take some of their toys with them to play with in the car and Isabella packs similar things to your girl! 😝😝😝 Kids are worth it though! 😁😁😁 I LOVE kids with all my heart so I could definitely cope with four girls just like your precious mom! 😘😘😘

@MommyLucy Worth every minute 😌 But I sometimes think life would be easier if we never visited any place with a large body of water that she feels obliged to jump into 😅

@SunshineGirl The easier option isn't always the most fun! 🤪🤪🤪 My daughter Isabella quotes this line from Harry Potter which may be fitting next time you see your wonderful girl next to a puddle of water "sometimes we must choose between what is right or what is easy" 🪄🪄🪄 A fitting line because in my opinion the right thing is to let kids be kids! 🥳🥳🥳
