Sometimes kids don't quite make it to the toilet. Then sometimes you step in it.
Thank you very much for that rather squishy surprise sweetie.

20 reasons
For my other half,
You complete me. I love you, and here are 20 reasons why:
1. Your desire to lead our family in a Christ-like manor.
2. Scales Family Skillet.
3. How you allow the two year old to be your shadow.
4. Countless games of Uno, despite my tendency to kick your tush.
5. Your instant joy every time I told you I was pregnant.
6. The fact I have four blankets, and you have one.
7. Beautiful purple tulips, even when you thought I needed orange.
8. How hard you looked for Charlie when he ran away.
9. My garden.
10. Forcing positive change for our family, even against my protest.
11. How about now? How about now? How about now?
12. Nachos at midnight.
13. Humoring my recent hair cut.
14. How I find a show to watch by myself, and you become obsessed so I have to wait to watch it with you.
15."That".
16. Late trips to the store to appease my picky appetite.
17. The way you always start talking to me online the same time I talk to you.
18. The lengths you go to make me happy.
19. Your sacrifice to make sure I sleep.
20. That two week period after our youngest was born that I did not change a single diaper.

Life with kids Entry #1
I
need to take a five minute shower. Diego is on in the playroom, where
three kids are watching, while one is reading books and the last is
sleeping. A five minute shower shouldn't be too much to ask with all
these distractions, right?
Wrong.
30 seconds into my shower, Tobiah comes in.
Tobiah: Mommy, can I go play outside?
Me: No.
45 seconds later, he comes in again.
Tobiah: Mommy, I need to go potty.
Me: Tobiah, there are two other bathrooms in this house. Out.
15 seconds later, Naomi comes in.
Naomi: I need go potty, Mommy.
Me: Naomi, there are two other bathrooms in this house. Out, and close the door.
She doesn't close it, so I have to lean out of the shower and do it myself.
Two minutes later, I'm getting out and drying off, and I think the interruptions have ended. Wrong. This time it is Ruth.
Ruth: More Diego, Mommy?
Me: Ruth, Diego is not over yet.
Yes. That is a life with kids.
Wrong.
