Chaos of love, life, and many kids...

Some people often ask what a typical day is like with a family of six little ones. Well, its busy. I cant remember the last time it was quiet for more than 30 seconds, something wasn't broken, or a time I could use the restroom without a minimum of ten little fingers trying to reach me from under the door. Nap time..well, lets say that the children will be able to sleep anywhere when they grow up, noise wont bother their slumber! Laundry? Well, thank God for modern amenities like a washer and dryer. Most of the time we have at least four loads a day. Frankly, I didn't realize there were that many socks, undies, jeans, shorts, or jammies on the face of the earth. Lets not forget the occasional rouge Lego or crayon that slips into a pocket...aah, the technicolor dryer cycle.... And then there's diapers. Yes, I mean the cloth kind... the savings is worth it. I love the convenience of disposables, and love a great deal, but cloth for us equals savings to do other things like buy food.   Speaking of food, lets talk breakfast. This morning we had french toast, scrambled eggs and corned beef hash. Translation... two dozen eggs, one loaf of bread, a half gallon of milk,  four cans of corned beef, and two 46oz containers of orange juice. Good thing I like to cook, lol. We don't go out a lot, but we sure do have fun! Last night was game night... Risk with the kiddos. That was a blast! Jake made up his own rules as we went along, but that's ok!

Everyday is filled with chaos. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. I cant imagine a day without our basketball team and a substitute...and being an assistant coach to the best husband I could have asked for is just a bonus.
