Okay

I have added a new song to my playlist.. You should listen to it!! Lately I find myself coming in here and getting on the computer taking deep breaths and listening to the words myself and it works wonders!!
You see lately my patience is being tested ALOT!! Between Maxton getting into everything and when I say everything let me tell you a little story about 2 days ago so you get the picture of "EVERYTHING" .. On Wednesday morning I left Maxton in the living room playing with his toys and brothers came into my bedroom to clean up a bit after about enough time to make the bed I heard the sound of glass breaking so I ran into the kitchen to find my 17 month monkey standing on the counter and a HUGE mess on the kitchen floor. He had crawled up into his highchair walked across the counter across the stove"thank goodness it wasn't hot" over to the fridge pulled the halloween candy buckets off the top of it candy went all over the floor, knocked a glass off which broke into a million pieces that I will probably still be finding 2 weeks from now, on his way to the fridge he decided to play in the coffee and get it everywhere all in the matter of 2 mins, no lie.. As I stand there looking at this mess he looks at me with the sweetest baby face and LAUGHS!!! Yes he laughed!! I really think he is half monkey and half MONSTER Baby!!
So between him and then Carter and Cavin constantly fighting, beating on each other, crying and screaming! I am about ready to scream!! These are my top two problems!
So when I start to run out of patience for LIFE with 5 little kids I come into my room go to my blog and listen to this song and then I think about how sad I will be when they are all gone and I am thankful again to be loosing my patience all day!! But sometimes I do need to be reminded how lucky I am!!

TV STINKS

I hate kids TV this time of year... Why you ask? COMMERCIALS!!! Every five seconds a new Toy Commercial comes on and my 3 and 4 year olds start screaming "I want that for Christmas". So about 45 times a day I hear that ear deafening phrase and my patience gets less and less.. I honestly have thought about canceling the cable already and it only Nov. 7th!! I guess we will have to turn the TV off until after Xmas!!! Wish me luck!

Picture

It has been a rough day here.. I was in the middle of this post when I had to make a mad dash to the ER.. I know what you are all thinking "AGAIN".. Believe me that is what I said too!! Maxton apparently has an inguinal hernia.. It has been a long day I am shot and I still have to take Mallory to get a haircut, Carter to gymnastics, make supper and clean it up, baths, bedtime, homework. etc.. so I gotta go!! More later

Halloween 2008

So here are the Halloween Pictures from this year!! I had a Clown (Mas) an Old Lady (Mal) a boxer (carter) a spider (cavin) and a frog (Max).. They had a great time and got loads of candy!! And wow was that weather great or what? I mean I don't remember a Halloween so beautiful? Maxton was absolutely adorable. After about 2 houses he had it figured out he would run up the sidewalk, climb the stairs and do his "more" sign to the person giving out the candy, I am not joking when I say that the kid did 35 houses easy never even got in the stroller unlike carter and cavin who made it half way around the neighborhood and started to complain about being tired!! They all had a great time!

BOO

Happy HALLOWEEN!!

Award

Mallory was given the Award for Responsibility today at school! Can you imagine my daughter getting that award?? Well I can't think of a better award for her to receive.. She is the most responsible 8 year child I know. How could she not be? Being that she is the oldest child of 5! She is always keeping track of the little boys for me even when I don't ask her to, she does her chores most days without being told, and almost everyday does her homework without being asked.. She is more responsible than I am okay well lets not go that far, but this was the perfect award for her!

I didn't go to the ceremony cause the little boys were still sleeping so I sent Clint with the camera and well his photography skills aren't the greatest so here is the best picture out of the 5 he took..

Mallory we are so proud of you!!

Birthday Update!!

It is official I have a 8 year old daughter.. How did that happen? Anyway here are a few pictures from the day.. I think she had a great day. Clint and I surprised her at school with Sonic for lunch! Then when she got home she had a package and some cards waiting for her to open! She got a radio from Grandma and Grandpa Gibbs, and money from Grandpa and Grandma Meade, Great Grandma and Grandpa Gibbs, Uncle Jay, Aunt Emily and Drew, and also Great Grandma Meade!! She was very thankful and excited for all of it!! I think she may use some of the money to buy herself a scooter and the rest she will put in her savings account!! From us she got that adorable white hat and 2 webkinz!! We had birthday cake (chocolate with chocolate frosting) and ice cream after school and then we took her out to eat at the restaurant of her choice! I know we treated her like a Queen!

On Saturday she is taking her two closest friends Lucy and Grace to the movies! That should be a fun time!

The pictures above are her wearing her new hat and looking at her webkinz, her blowing out her candles on her cake and her opening the radio from her grandparents!!

It was a great day! And she really is 8! And I really couldn't ask for a better Daughter!! Love ya Mally Moo!!
