The typical Sunday morning. Trying to get my kids to eat lunch at 10 am so they can nap at 10:30 so we can make it to 12 o'clock church. Crazy? Yes. Does it ever really work out? Not really. But crazy-scheduler-amber tries anyway.
We make it to church a little late. But everyone has shoes on and their hair done and the girlies even have matching skirts and toe nail polish on so we aren't doing half bad.
Our new ward is large so we must sit in the gym on the metal chairs. No biggie. A half an hour into the meeting I look around at my darling family:
Hendrix is banging his matchbox cars on the metal chairs. Metal on metal... A nice reverent sound. After hushing Hendrix for the 30th time I look over to see Dave trying his hardest to avoid being bitten by Veda- who is practicing her latest hobby: biting. Meanwhile I look at Quinn who is happily eating her goldfish. Putting one in her mouth, chewing it up, spitting it out into the palm of her hand, making little shapes (balls, whales, snakes, etc), showing me her treasure, and then eating it again.
These are the moments.

Oh boy, the joys of Sundays with 3 little kids! It does get better- wait til you have teenage daughters that need to do their hair, make-up and want to wear a mini-skirt to church and have a bare midrif. (And can't find shoes that look right). It's all so fun:)
I love you so much. This just made my night. We'll be rewarded in heaven, right?!?!?
I like your hair, am! and i like the matching skirts! sundays are awfully hard with kids, huh!? i'm sure heavenly father will give A's for effort :)
Amber ... thank you for sharing that moment. It makes me think that just maybe our family is "normal" instead of out of control. Today I was trying to load the van. NO ONE was listening to me. All the boys were running their own direction. Corbyn in Chase's seat. Chase in the driver's seat and I think Carter was trying to attempt to do what I thought he should. Anyhow, I thought WOW I'm sure doing a horrible job. No one is listening. However, it's probably normal. Kind of like your Sunday! Very normal. Kids are BUSY! Love you!! Gabrielle
