I love kids and often babysit for my nieces and nephews, but when I get home

I collapse on the couch, unable to speak, and just stare at the TV for several hours because…I’m beat. 

I’ve spent the day coaxing children out of potentially dangerous situations (“Hey, don’t hang over that banister!”)

Playing waitress by filling endless drink and snack requests (and cleaning up when they get dumped on the floor!) and keeping the kids on task as far as flushing the toilet, washing their hands and eating their meals. 

It’s non-stop work! So these photos of Angelina Jolie out with her children in New Orleans over the weekend AMAZE me.

Brad Pitt’s partner looks like a million bucks taking half of their brood–Pax, Vivienne and Zahara Jolie-Pitt–on a snack run near their home in the French Quarter on Sunday. These photos actually look like advertisements they’re so perfect. Angelina with her big smile and flowing hair in a daisy chain with her beautiful and stylish kids.

Apparently smiling runs in the family because the girls were grinning just as wide as their famous mom. (Loving Z’s new blue braids!)

This woman has* six children *and looks like this?! If I’m watching one, I feel overwhelmed!

Pax did sass it up a little at the end–making faces at photographers–but it didn’t appear to upset Super Angelina. With a guiding hand, she simply just led him into their front door.

Then it was off to eat their Funyuns and chocolate bars. I hope the kids were good and shared with Maddox, Shiloh and Knox.

How do you look after you spend the day with kids? Do you look like you’ve been steamrolled by a truck like I do? Or are you feeling like it’s easy breezy like Angelina appears to.
