My life...or something like it: Humor amid the crazy

This is my life...

All three kids watching Blues Clues...Ella eventually started eating Jacksons foot...Layla never stopped picking her nose...and Jackson is entranced. I wish I could get him that interested in learning his letters.

My days are spent cleaning...cooking...changing diapers...potty training...and breaking up fights. My head hurts all the time. But humor gets me through.

The other day Layla was putting a giant pink ball in the baby swing and pretending it was a baby, rocking it ever so gently. Then Jack comes up and yells...YOUR BABY IS BAD! IM GOING TO SPANK IT!! Then he proceeded to slap the ball so hard it flew out of the swing and into the wall. This was quickly followed by high pitched screaming from Layla until she gently picked up her "baby" and softly laid it back in the swing and began to rock it again. Then almost immediately Jackson would spank the "baby" starting the whole thing all over. This repeated itself over and over and over. Irritating....but funny. And that's my life these days. Irritating moments intermingled with humor. Ahh the life of three kids ages 4, 2 and almost 6 months.

We rarely get out but we make the most of these days because soon my kids will roll their eyes at me instead of thinking I am awesome for making them stuff like this...

You learn to find the humor and joy amid the screaming...destruction...and poopy messes that are my life. And by poopy messes I mean Layla literally coming up to me almost daily with a handful of poop. How do I get her to stop doing that?!?! Seriously...how??

But Jason and I love this messy life of ours. We are grateful....and maybe just a bit insane. Case in point check out these photos of Jason on one of our bored nights together at home after the kids are were in bed. One of the funnest moments we have had in a long time.
Maybe we should get out more huh? Enjoy.

The many stages of Jason's beard...
