Dinner Conversations and Children

It's amazing what children can and will say at the dinner table.
Although we discourage any inappropriate language and talk, it still gets a bit crazy!

Last night was no exception. My 4th child decided that his response to every statement or question was "There's a potato for that".  (*taken from the popular saying, "There's an app for that".)

Needless to say I was laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my chair.

My oldest boy, Brenden, decided he wanted to hear Ride of the Valkaries, so that is what we listened to during dinner. (Thanks to my wonderful hubby who found it on his phone and played it for us).

Brenden then proceeded to claim boredom and announced "I am going into 'screensaver' mode", put a headband over his eyes and leaned back to portray 'screensaver' mode.

Now Cassie, my 3rd child, is laughing as hard as I am and Eli, my toddler, is dancing in his highchair whilst covered in ranch dressing.

I love my children and their crazy antics. Who wouldn't love such a crazy bunch of kiddos.....but come confession day, I will confess to being overwhelmed and overtired MOST of the time and unable to appreciate such fine moments. My mommy skills haven't been perfected and I expect they wont be until I am a grandmother. That being said, I know there are other moms out there who struggle to balance being a good mom and having well-behaved children and a manageable house....We aren't alone fellow struggling moms!

I love sharing the gems of my day and hope that another struggling mom can find the fun in a crazy, chaotic day.


Much Love,

Its snowing.
Alot.
This cold snowy day is beautiful! I wish I could enjoy it the way I would like to, however, I broke my fibula (leg bone) on New Year's Eve when I took my children rollerblading (one of my favorite things to do!).
I am hoping I can get the kiddos out to sled, but its not that easy. Oh, and now I have a toddler in tow. Our beautiful 18 mth old who is growing like a weed!

I am hoping to have some beautiful pics to share of sledding, but now, I can just show you the amount of snow dumped since yesterday:

Crazy, huh? Well, there you have it. Snow. Everywhere. 

So even though I am slightly unable to function normally, I am going to try to get all the kids out of the house with sleds, in one piece. But first, we must wake the toddler.....
