just breath

Blogging used to be pretty easy for me to accomplish. These days bedtime is not always relaxing and quiet, so I end up playing games or cruising facebook til the boys are asleep. I am determined tonight, so here I go! I went through my album of pics from lately and picked some of my faves. I love this sweet sleeping pic of Hailey...sleeping on daddy :)

Hailey is now in cloth diapers (bumGenius 4.0s), and I love the cute patterns they have!

Hailey doesn't often like her car seat, but she promised not to scream for this picture, haha

Last Friday we had our first (and most likely last) snow for the year. It was about 2 or 3 inches, and was completely melted away by the next day. I let the boys play out in it for a little while since Markus had a snow day (I refuse to take him to school when there is snow on roads!). Dorian did NOT want to wear any gloves, but decided it was better than not being in teh snow at all, eventually.

I'm sure that some of you think it must be super hard with 4 kids. Sometimes, it is. Sometimes I feel myself wanting to yell at them (and sometimes I do), and feeling my blood pressure rise. However, that is mostly at bedtime, lol :) I am proud to be a mommy of 3 little intelligent boys and a sweet little girl. I usually feel like I have a handle on things and enjoy doing a few little things for myself throughout the week. Mind you, I have a few patterns strewn over my kitchen table right now and have yet to touch them b/c I've been on bedtime patrole...making sure the boys stay in there beds and to sleep (they are at the 1.5 hr mark).

So, right now I'm looking forward to a little lady who will sleep more than 5 minutes in her bed so I can get a few things done (right now she's in the moby if I'm doing housework). I"m looking forward to a time when my kids will go to bed when they are asked and not wrestle, laugh, scream, etc. I'm also enjoying where I"m at right now, with Hailey who thinks I'm EVERYTHING. I know that won't always be the case :)
