Being a Mom.

My friend Kelly had this on her blog, and I liked it so much that I stole it. Being a mom is the most challenging thing I've ever done, but I know that it's the most important thing for me to be doing. I definitely struggle keeping the kids under control sometimes, but I love them each individually and unconditionally.

Here are a few funny things I have learned lately:

#1 It is NOT worth it to get lettuce on a Taco...Connelly will NOT eat it and I will end up picking every tiny shred out of the middle. I will never forget to tell them "no lettuce" again.

#2 Paper plates cannot run out around here again. I ran out for about a week, and it took me two hours to catch up with the dishes.

#3 Triaminic stains...bad.

#4 Laughing gas is AWESOME for a 5 year old at the dentist. (She only had one cavity, but she is HORRIFIED OF SHOTS!).

#6 The flu mist is SWEEEEET...no pain, but all the benefits (Again...due to Oaklyn's shot terror).

#7 Connelly thinks that long-haired polygamists are actually Rapunzel visiting Wal-Mart.

#8 Oaklyn is reading the "first book" of twilight???? (She actually just carries it around). Then she asked me, "Have you read the second book, the third book, and the fourth book? When I said yes, she said "Way to go, Mom."
