These guys are the best of friends. Well, sometimes they can be the worst combination EVER and drive me absolutely insane crazy and mad and the very worst side of me appears. But when they get along, time stands still. My heart bursts with love and joy. These are the moments worth it all. The thing is, you can have the extremes within 10 minutes. It can be exhausting.
Earlier this spring, when we just moved into the new house, I was doing dishes to find the kids having one of those heavenly moments.
I quickly decided to make the most of this moment and laid on the couch so I could watch them and read my scriptures. I looked up a minute later and found this:
They had the greatest time. It was pretty funny. There was sand in their hair for weeks, no matter how much I scrubbed.
Man I love these kids. I am so thankful that I can be home with them and not miss out on moments like these. It is so hard at times, I think what on earth am I doing bringing a 4th one in, I can’t even handle these 3 without losing it. But the happy moments are the sweetest things I have ever experienced. And that makes it worth it.
