Let's Reflect

So, as I just recently blogged, life has been a little crazy at the McAllister house. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on why I love my babies, and why I love being a mom. I was going through my pictures and decided to post a few of the cute ones of Knightin and TJ. I think you have probably seen most of them, but they are cute and I wanted to be able to look back at this blog at a future date, and be reminded how cute and sweet they were. Plus on bad day, which of course I never have, this will be good to look at.

AHHHHHH! I feel great now, I love my kids!

Now, I'm ready to face the world and my craft closet/computer room that these two sweet angles just destroyed!

Yes, those are many, many, many, many feathers, and pipe cleaners, and what you don't see are lots of tubs of play dough, luckily not mashed into the floor(Becky I was thinking about you, when I saw all the play dough out). The sad thing about the whole thing, is that it is all my fault, because I forgot to put the lock on the door. How dumb can I be? I think I need a little less confusion in my life right now. Having many little kids around makes you lose your mind and common sense.

I am so glad for my 5 beautiful, cute and amazing kids and the memories that we have together, and because of that I can deal with yogurt all over, destroyed offices, flooded bathrooms, broken jars, make-up lessons on the younger brothers, hair-cuts not done by me or the professionals, screaming, yelling, punching, biting, tantrums(yes, by the kids too), dirty diapers, snotty noses, never having a clean shirt on, loads and loads of laundry, finger prints on everything, many a late night holding sick or scared kids, Dumpig a whole tray of sacrament bread on the floor (we were the first pew and yes this did happen, just last Sunday), and all those other crazy things that we deal with as parents.

Here is to kids and our good and some bad memories. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
