The Reason I Had Kids….
I love babies
that is why I had kids
that is why I had kids
I love my husband
that is why I had kids
I love my Heavenly Father
He commanded it
that is why I had kids
They bring me so much joy
that is why I had kids
I needed slaves in my garden
THAT IS WHY I HAD KIDS!
(just ask them)
We will be getting our first freeze this weekend, time to get the tender veggies in…more havest time pictures to come.
My Son
This little punk is giving me a run for my money.I am by no means new at this mother thing
I have had 4 other toddlers
But wow,
this boy
Is into everything!
My girls got into stuff
but nothing like this little tornado
who has to touch everything
figure everything out
climb everything
and try to jump off everything
This is what happens….
….when your 8 year old breaks her foot and finds out that she can’t jump rope, or run, or ride a bike, or swing, or as she says “I can’t do anything I like!”
Mama, my hair!
To say that my youngest daughter is a rough sleeper would be an understatement.
She always wakes up with the back of her hair in knots, always,and you can tell how well she slept by how big the knot is.
She is, what we like to call, a “brain rocker”. To help herself fall to sleep she rocks her head back and forth, and in the process ties her hair into big, fat knots!
Every morning we do the “Big Comb Out”
I plop her in front of her favorite cartoon and as gently as possible work on the rats nest that was at one time her hair.
After a few tears, we get to this: nice smooth piggy tails.
Occasionally we will get fancy and do some messy buns,
but mostly she gets piggies.
The reason for nice tight piggies?
Because when nap time rolls around…
the rockin’ starts and because I don’t want a repeat of the “Big Comb Out” tight piggy tails it is.
She is a master at working those piggies nice and lose and lop sided during her afternoon naps, but at least she doesn’t get the knots.
and that
Makes for one very
happy 4 year-old.
