I got tired just reading it!
But then again, this is why you have happy kids and a clean house.
I've settled for kids with dirty faces and let's not talk about my house!
Ha! I don't think my house has ever been clean...especially not lately! And a peek into my house around 6:00 would likely yield at least one child screaming at another.
I don't know how you do it. I feel like I'm going out of my mind with just 3 little boys. You are deffinately a super mom. You've got lucky kids and a lucky husband!
Uh oh - so now what will you do at 9:30 after tonight??
I am exhausted just reading about your day! Hope you're already in bed!
That is a busy schedule!! Does that come with having older children? Ethan is just starting to get busier!!
lara, i don't know how you do it. that's all.
Ditto what K said... Absolutely tired just reading it all.
But, just think-in three short years Spence will get his driver's license and take some of the driving load off poor mom. And when Cami gets her license-your driving load will be cut by 2/3's.
That's what happened in our family as soon as you and Nate got your licenses.
So, plan on choosing a few novels to read starting around 2009-2011.
We love you guys! You are beyond amazing!!
Love, Grandpa-Grandma
