Happy Spring!

Heard Around Here Lately

(Names have been changed to protect the innocent...)

The Boy, pressing his face into the "window" of the front loading washing machine: "Mommy, when I put my head in here and it bangs around, my eyes go up and down!"

The Boy, running around in circles in the family room: "Mommy, when I run around like this I am getting my energy! Does it look like my feet will fall off?"

The biggest sister: "Hold on a minute. I need to catch my breath from talking!"

My littlest girl, getting ready for soccer practice: "Mommy, when we're getting ready to go somewhere, I just get happy and sad at the same time, and it makes a blob in my heart."

The Boy, in the bathtub: "Mommy, did you hear that noise?!? My bottom burped!"

To Be Continued...

A New Kind of Chaos

We are halfway through a season that is new to us.

(No, it's not the dirty floors.)

(Piles of laundry are not a new sight, either.)

All four kids are playing soccer.

On four different teams.

With four different sets of practices and games three to four times a week.

My washing machine works very well.

So does my dryer.
