The things that keep me busy:
Going outside and playing in the dirt right after a bath and clean pjs
Taking all the shoes out of our closet and stacking them on a clean bed
Finding a permanent marker (we won't even go into everything we have cleaned marker off of, I should have bought stock in the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!).JPG)
Finding the stash of candy bars
Helping mom with the dishes
Trying to quickly sweep up a brand new box of cereal on the kitchen floor before mom walks inThe things that make it worth it:
My kids asking me what they can do to help me and always being big helpers
Checking on you sleeping peaceful at night wondering where in the world time has gone.
Watching you walk up the stairs in your underwear, your brother's soccer socks, and your spiderman hat asking if this can be your outfit for the day.
Watching you grow up and start playing sports and figuring out what you love about life.
Watching you play together and love each other.
Finding my camera with pictures on it that you took yourself (Kayden took this pic of the two of them eating cake....too funny!)
Being a stay-at-home mom is the hardest job I have ever had, but it is also the most REWARDING job I have ever had. I am so lucky to have these three amazing kids that test me every single day, but not a day goes by that they don't tell me that they love me and they ALWAYS know how to make me smile!

I love your blog. It is good to know that I am not the only one that has kids like that. It is so hard at times, but IT IS SO WORTH IT. You are good because you grab your camera, I just try to worry about how to fix the problem without trying to get to mad. I guess that is one of my weeknesses. Your great!!!
