2:15 today

I sat thinking today about how sometimes I just love the life I have been given, have chosen.  Just to document the random everydayness of our home I grabbed the camera and went off in search of the family members to see what they were doing.

Seri was snuggling with T.J.  Apparently he had skinned his leg on something and was in need of comforting.  In the past seven months or so, Seri has become amazingly nurturing of her younger siblings. It warms my heart to watch her and the way she loves them.  How lucky they are to have her.  I sometimes worry that because of the age difference her and the younger ones wont be that close. Times like this tell me there is nothing to worry about.

Sariah was outside, which usually means she is playing with (perturbing the heck out of) the chickens. Today, however, she was playing with Kaden through the glass.  I love his belly laugh and his siblings sure know how to get him going.  He thinks they are the silliest things ever.

Should have known where I would find the boys…..

Michael is caught sneaking into Isaac’s room for the single purpose of bothering the heck out of him for no reason.

Isaac is being pissy and whiny because he still hasn’t finished cleaning his room and it is after noon, so mom is really on his case.  (This was before all their toys were confiscated and sold).

Of course, Michael’s intention was served and Isaac got torked off at him.  I am beginning to wonder if these boys will always have this sort of relationship. Use to bother me to no end, but then they cleared it up by informing me that “Fighting is how we love eachother”. Heaven help us.P5280100

Going back downstairs, sariah has now moved inside to play with K.

Enough snuggling, let’s play!P5280110

And sariah is not about to be left out of that activity.

Having been abandoned by his sister, K begins to explore under the table. One of his favorite hang out spots.  Yes, upon being told that stickers do not belong on furniture T.J. resorted to sticking them on furniture in places where mom wouldn’t notice.

Then literally, while I was cooing over Kaden I heard something in the bathroom and came upon this.  Man, that little boy moves quick.

While I once again clean up a mess, Kaden gets in his snuggle time.  I do love my life,

What a great idea Jen. I should do that too, just grab the camera and go find out what the boys are up to. I love it. What an amazing help Seri is! How awesome that it.

I LOVE the lipstick! I can't tell you how many times my youngest has done that. She's getting a little better at actually getting it on her lips now. But that doesn't seem to have been his goal! ha ha ha!
