Embrace the Craziness

This needs to be my motto this summer.

At one point during the day today, I believe there were a total of 9 boys ages 8 months to 10 years old in and out of the house. There may have been more, there may have been less. I'm never quite sure who's staying and who's going.

All of my spare blankets have been pulled out of the closests to make a fort for a sleepover tonight.

Plastic cups, wet bathing suits, dirty socks and baseball uniforms are a dime a dozen around here.

My white kitchen floor...not so white anymore. I'm thinking about mopping it in September.

Two different neighbor boys told me how much stuff we have in our garage. They come from families of only 2 children.

Luke is learning to nap while the slam dunk contest takes place on the nerf hoop which hangs off the closet on the main floor.

Adam's been so tired he's fallen asleep on the couch the past two nights.

I escape to my bedroom amidst mountains of clean laundry...to pump.

I love it. It all means your house is really a "home." You and Brian are doing a wonderful job of raising a terrific family.

love it...now i don't feel so unorganized. Pretty much describes my house, but you left out the part about cooling the backyard with the AC in the house, thanks to the door always being left open.

I hate to break it to you, but it's going to get worse before it gets better...you do know you have FOUR boys + one big one, right?!?!?
