supervising from the couch: Fancy Nancy

Ellie went to a fun Fancy Nancy birthday party today—they took all the girls to the salon and had their hair and nails done. I think that's what I'm going to do for my birthday party next year. :)

here's the story:

I was interviewed for a newpaper article about kids and sleep, and quoted as saying something like "when I'm tired, I feel like supervising from the couch." Ever since, it's been our catch phrase for slacker parenting. Ironically, I only had one child at the time and we were practically attached at the hip. Now that I have four older kids, they spend chunks of time playing without even the benefit of me watching from the couch. However, I do try to come running if it sounds like there might be blood. Somehow they have all thrived in spite of me.
