Moments

4 Jun

We recently decided that the T.V had to go. There are exceptions because we do watch family movies, but regular television and cartoons are almost non-existent. The kids have become creative geniuses during this television deprivation! It’s amazing to see their minds at work coming up with ways to entertain themselves. Anything goes as long as sharp objects are not involved. I have to admit, there is a trade-off. MY. HOUSE. IS. A. MESS. Sometimes I do wish they would sit down, be quiet and watch T.V. so I can at least have it clean for 3 seconds. When their minds were mushy from all the time in front of the tube, I must say my house was a beauty!
However, nothing can replace these moments:

This brings so much more meaning to “taking the baby for a ride in the car to put her to sleep”. Won’t be 16 for 2.5 more years and already driving the wee ones…little tear…


Human burrito?


This is an interesting one. I often find pictures in my phone that I never took. This being one of them…its okay Zorro…it puts me to sleep too…

I know she is meaty, but I’m pretty sure this is illegal, kids. Have you not learned about cannibalism? Are you homeschooled? I need to discuss this with your teacher…plus, I really wish you would have put a bow on her head (or even a nametag so I would remember which kid this is)


There are just no words. I love this girl…

So. We are a pretty crazy family. Some days, I wonder what planet has kidnapped me and why these aliens refer to me as “mommy”. Sometimes in the irrational moments of the day, I lose sight that these little people whom have been placed in my care will be gone soon and I will wish that my house had just a little bit of noise and a little bit of clutter…but most of the time I am humbled by God’s grace and mercy…AND sense of humor…
