Don't we all feel a bit upside-down and stuck in a rut sometimes?
Life is really busy and REALLY stressful right now and I find myself upset/yelling much more than I care to admit. So....in an attempt to find a bit of Joy in my life I decided to take a few pics of my kids last night.

Gabe----ever silly Gabe. Why don't I appreciate his sillyness more. Was I not the queen of sillyness in my younger days?

Cael-----Cheeseball of the century........So aggravating yet so endearing. Most of the time, I don't know whether to laugh or yell. Often times, I do both.

Isaac-----piggy, piggy, piggy. And always smiling (unless being assaulted by one of his brothers...which happens a lot).
I really do love my kids. I just take life a little too seriously and forget to enjoy them.
The other day I read a blog entry of a friend. She had taken a picture of her child doing something obviously naughty but very funny. Then she went on to describe how they laughed together about it.
It never would have dawned on me to do that. I would have just gotten upset instead.
No......I am not a bad mom. I just act like it most of the time.
I am ready to turn over a new leaf and make it a goal to actually sit down and spend time with them at least once a day.

Today we sat down, all together, and made these.....Spider Snacks and Ants on a log.

Don't we look like were having fun? (I know you can't see me, because I am taking the picture, but pretend you can. I have a big smile on my face).
We also made a countdown calendar to Halloween and extended it from there to November 14th when Aunt Christy comes to visit. We are SOOOOO excited!

Don't be so hard on yourself! I for one agree it is hard to appreciate them at times, but you're a good mom!
Cute hair.
Just remember those "good moments" and hopefully you have at least one good moment every day!!
Also no judgment here Ethan eats cereal half the time for dinner, but is that a microwavable pan I see on the dinner table?!!?
Your boys look so old! I love the pictures. I totally feel your post. I have to remind myself constantly to laugh. Hope you're great!
Oh! Your hair is so cute! Whoops I just posted the last comment with Eric's account.
Um, having 3 boys is hard. I am dreading having a third kid and I am kinda freaking out about it. I don't think anyone does it perfect all the time. Your boys are so super cute though. Oh and I love your new hair. Very cute. Love Audra
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I also have been trying to enjoy them more lately. Now that I know I have had my last child it has made me really enjoy every minute. It's going to go by so fast. I let them run around, yell and be noisy a lot more. Kids need that. Only when Jeremy is home they have to do it in the basement. He still gets annoyed to easy. Oh, well.
Gotta love the creative crafts!!!
