A Few of the Little Things

 

By: Erin T Gunti

Four AM feedings

Sippy cups leaking

 Diapers exploding

Carpool slow with unloading

Stretch marks and sagging and eyes black with bags

These are a few of the things I now have

When the lamp breaks

When my back aches

When I’m feeling mad

I simply remember they will soon go to bed

And then I don’t feel so bad

Stains on my carpet

That might have been vomit

 Projects not started

Because I’ve forgotten

Sayings repeating that sound like my mom

These are a few of the things that make me drink to stay calm

When the laundry piles

When sleep has been a while

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember that this time will pass

And then I don’t feel so bad

Toys in the stairwell

Will probably just stay there

Catching a spill

While the bowl is still midair

Stepping on Legos with out shouting God’s name in vain

These are a few of the things that drive me insane

When my kid cries

When they have pink eye

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember those little blessings I have

And then I don’t feel so bad

Sky Zone!

The Autry boys had spring break this week so I let Ben and James skip a day of preschool (I figured they could go one day w/o reciting the alphabet).  We went to sky zone and jumped, jumped, jumped until we couldn't jump any more!

Happy Easter!

We hosted an PrEaster brunch the Saturday before Easter.  Aunt Amy shared the Resurrection story and made Resurrection Rolls with the kiddies.  We also had an egg hunt in the back yard.  Fun times!

The boys enjoyed opening their Easter baskets.  Their favorite thing they got were the Lego Star Wars movies.  We've probably watched them each 100 times by now!

After (a very crowded) Easter mass we headed over the mountain to visit with The Reece family.  We had a great time!
