Family Friday: Sidewalk Chalk Paint Rollers

My kids like to pulverize their sidewalk chalk and mix it with water. These sidewalk chalk paint rollers will save them this step (and the extra mess).
These rollers come filled with chalk powder — just add water and shake. They also keep their hands chalk-free. This set of three includes pink, blue, and yellow for hours of summer fun!
This set of sidewalk chalk paint rollers is $10 at Target.

Just for moral support, waiting on news which I was told would be today about an internal promotion role I applied for, and of course today is also the day of my cycle where I am the most anxious and on edge so this is really pushing it over the top! Of course there could be reasons such as delay by the recruiter getting an offer together (which I’m very familiar with myself as a hiring manager) but of course every hour that goes by I’m more worried the offer was made to someone else. Just gotta get through the day and/or weekend…
Other than medication, is it just par for the course for an ADHD 5 year old to misbehave in school / camp etc? It’s nothing terrible, but my son always seems to be in the group that can’t listen, acts impulsively, is somewhat disruptive in class etc. We’ve heard this throughout preschool and summer camps. He tells me about when he gets in trouble right after school/camp and I rarely hear it from the teachers but when I have reached out, they confirm that he’s often in the group of boys creating trouble in class. It’s disheartening as i was such a rule follower as is my first born and he’s such a loving, sweet child but he just cant help it. He gets frustrated easily and is quick to anger. He has an official diagnosis and I often find him very easy to manage at home but in group situations / parties / school etc, it can be difficult to “tame” his enthusiasm, energy, behavior. I’m not sure that he’s at an level that he needs to be medicated, but it might be something to consider as he starts kinder in the fall.
TIA for any thoughts or perspectives.
I’m at a work crossroads and would love thoughts. I’ve been with my company several years, senior but just below executive level. I’ve always received good performance reviews, but not the highest score. I have a great relationship with my boss, find it to be a non toxic environment and like what I do overall ( in my experience those things are extremely rare). I also work reasonable hours, am decently paid (could absolutely make more if I left) but my salary keeps us comfortable. I’ve just returned from having a baby- my third.
Within the last month, several of my peers have been promoted. FWIW, my previous manager indicated everyone at my level on his team knocks it out of the park- and promoting one person would mean we should ALL be promoted. I’m furious because now I feel that the company has valued my impact and contributions significantly less than others.
However, at this stage of my career and with 3 kids under 6- I’m not really looking to climb, push ahead etc… I’m just trying to do a good job but don’t mind flying under the radar- at my company, moving ahead and into leadership means a lot of stress and abuse.
I don’t know what to do- I’m just looking to get the recognition I deserve, but can’t decide if it is just my ego talking. Should I take advantage and see this as an opportunity to lean out a bit, as I’ve wanted to do for awhile and haven’t been able to? Or do I fight for the recognition I want?
Any ideas on Spring break with a nearly 5 year old for next year? Traveling from atlanta and would prefer to keep a flight under 4 hours or drive less than 6ish. We all have passports. We tend toward outdoorsy trips but open to city-centric ideas as well.
I know it’s super early but I like to start brainstorming and researching pretty far in advance so we can decide between multiple options as a family.
Has anyone been to Diggerland near Philadelphia? We are thinking about going this summer but being outside on metal construction equipment seems problematic. How do you use the park without getting burned?
