why oh why?

why oh why is the toilet a magnet for toddlers? Why can't my older boys aim into the toilet instead of on the floor, walls, garbage can and anywhere else but into the water? I mean how hard is it, to hit a big bowl of water when they are standing over it?! I also want to know how many times a person can clean a bathroom in one day, because I tell ya', I think I've broken every single record there is. Ah, yes...I love my kids so much though.



I love when Micah has to get his "mommy fix" and he comes and snuggles, and then he's off and running again. I love when Kenan says in a whisper, "I have to ask you something.", and then proceeds to tell he loves me so much! I love seing Timmy's smile. Last night, he helped me clean the couch downstairs, and he thought it was so much fun! He has such a great additude and such a giving heart, that he was willing to help with a job that I didn't really want to do. He reminded me that my attitude and outlook on situations and circumstances can make a huge difference in the outcome as well as the attitudes of those around me. I love the way Hannah laughs and smiles. It brings me great joy to get a laugh out of her, she's so fun to be around. I have the best job in the world! I wouldn't change it for the world, even in the hard, and crazy moments of toilet splashing, couch cleaning, and the constant go, go, go of the little toddler. My husband is such wonderful support. He quietly listens as I vent my frustrations, and paitently encourages me in all that I do. I love him and I don't know what I'd do without him. He sent me an ecard today and the bible verse said "He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25. It was such an encouragement to me, to try and remember to refresh those around me.

I added the followers tab on my blog :)

I loved reading about how your kids make you feel so good! I can't wait for Ariana and Belle to be old enough to bring me that kind of joy! Ariana is truly a blessing and melts our hearts every day, but we still can't wait for her to be able to tell us that she loves us :)

Hope you had a good day!
