there are MANY days, where I question "why in the world do I Have so many children?!"

we are pretty busy, and sometimes the kids are naughty, moody, or the parents are. That is absolutely no fun.

today we are busy...baking and cooking, that I do love and the kids helped and they got a good night's sleep so they weren't even naughty at Walmart.

(as an aside I was placing my items on the conveyor and accidentally knocked over the lady in front me, her eggs...barely. I gingerly picked them up and put them back on top of the other carton as she had stacked them. I apologized and she came right over "DID YOU BREAK MY EGGS!!??? LET ME CHECK...NO I DON"T WANT these NOW because one is cracked!!!!" whatever lady you are rude and there was no cracked egg)

Today is my sweet baby Girl's birthday. ONE already. She is my very last little one and so her birthdays may be harder on me. She is so sweet and cute and from the moment she arrived I knew she was that baby girl that was missing from our family. (EVEN though she came so close to the other two monsters that are running circles around me now and wrestling in crazy boy fashion!) All the kids fit, just like the pieces of a puzzle and if one was missing the picture would not be complete. I love my children, they grow up terribly FAST!! trying to enjoy them before the oldest goes off to college in only SIX years.
