no theme
There's no particular theme to these pictures today. They were all taken this afternoon while the girls had Anna on the top bunk. Breathe, breathe.... she lived through it and so did I. Looks like they had a blast. I think Madeline looks alot like her big brother Aaron in the picture below. The way she's holding her mouth and something about her eyes reminds me of him. It's not the first time I've looked at her and thought of him. (I know that totally excites you, Aaron, but I must tell the truth.) Here's a funny Madeline story. Last Sunday we were driving to church and a police car was about to enter traffic from a shopping center. Madeline said "there's a policeman...everybody act normal"! I asked her father where she heard that from since I cower when I see men in uniform (they all scare me - authority figures and all - you know) and he says sheepishly " I might have said it once or twice".
I am a mom of 5 beautiful, smart, wonderful children. But who doesn't believe that of their children? OK, I have a 27 year old who is married to a lovely young lady who I am proud to call my daughter-in-law. I have a 23 year old who tours with the band "Super Water Sympathy" and you should check them out. I have a 14 year old softball playing girl. I have a 12 year old independent, free spirit and a 7 year old cute as a button. Our life is never dull. Our house is rarely clean (all of it - all at once)and my meals are rarely well rounded. But, we have fun and make fun memories. Opening day of baseball season is a national holiday in our house. Oscar night a night that mommy should not be disturbed and Sundays are a day of rest or should be.

Favorite thing to hear "No, I'll get up with the kids, you stay in bed and sleep in". Oh wait, I made those words up, I've never actually heard them.
