Such a long time...
If anyone reads this I am sorry for not keeping up on my blog. Life sure can get in the way of writing and posting pics. Tonight I am writing a letter to God regarding one of the reasons why I cannot blog as much as I would like to...
Dear God,
As you know, I have a lot of kids. A lot of kids equal a whole lot of laundry. I have named my laundry pile Mt. Neverrest. Lord, I am thankful you have given us clothes to wear, thankful you have given us kids to wear these clothes but I must ask you one more thing. Could you please send me a nice big front loader to help this overworked and tired of doing at least 5 loads minimum a day, mom?
Thank you, Lord.

I am now finding pooting jokes funny
I got this new deodorant today. The instructions said remove cap
and push up bottom. I can barely walk, but whenever I
poot the room smells awesome.

Thursday fun
I took 3 children to the doctor and ended up with one with an ear infection, and two with bronchiolitis. 2 and 3 year old's plus steriods=not so much fun.
Their illnesses didn't hinder their appetite so we waited for our medicine at Pizza Hut.
Some of us don't like to use utensils.
