Deep Thoughts by Madi

Sundays are long days for us. The kids get restless, so Dad gets frustrated, so Mom makes everyone go for a walk to burn off their energy. So with the standard drama of trying to find shoes, not taking toys, and double checking the potty stop, we are out the door.

It's a pretty warm evening so I am carrying Jack, while Jenny herds the girls. About 1/3 of the way through the walk I notice that my boy, my only man child has chucked on my shoulder. Of course, it's a black shirt and white spit-up. So, I announce to the entire neighborhood, "Ahhh, Jack just barfed on my shirt."

Jenny, Hannah, and Allie couldn't care less. However, Madison is there to support me in my time of need. She looks up at me and provides her own words of wisdom. "Man Dad, that stinks! It sure would have been nice if Jack had spit-up in the bushes."

"Yes Madison, that would have been nice."

Your children are adorable! How fun that you have added little Jack! We have 1 of each and are so blessed to have them...though some days we have to really remember how much of a blessing they are! We totally hear you about what kind of chaos can happen all before 7:00 a.m. (Refer to the POPCORN post maybe in April or May)
