i say to myself, i’m so done having kids.
how can i handle more mess when i can barely handle these two?
i feel like lately more than ever, all i do is clean up after them.
all day long, every single day.
i clean up after them all day and the house is still messy
since i didn’t have time to get to the dishes, dirty plates on the table,
laundry, vacumning, cleaning the toilets, oh the list never ends.
if i finish all those lists, an hr. later, or surely by the next day,
i need to do it all over again.
but then they do something ridiculously cute
like when we were over at the grandparent’s house and adi wanted
to take home all the grapefruits and clementines and we told her no.
and a few mins. later as we were about to leave,
they followed us out as if nothing happened but they were walking funny,
and we see this.
yeah that does not look right.
hmmm… no comment.
oh yes, i want more of these little rascal, messy-making, hyper and demanding
children! i can’t get enough of them and they grow up so fast so why not
have more to start all over with? π
and despite all the sighs and grunting i do cleaning up after them,
they bring me way more laughs and smiles to my face.
Ali says

Jo (@ boogaloo) says
Very cute. Thanks for the smiles – brightened my day (just as I was feeling the same way) π
Sarah says
I feel the same exact way! Mine are 3 1/2 and 2 and that looks like our house most days π
Kimie says
Ok, the fruit in the pants is about the cutest thing ever.
Shasta says
Oh my goodness, that gave me a belly laugh!
Tania says

ECoop says
No way did they come up with this idea on their own! It's too much! Make the cuteness stop! π

Just remember, your kids will never remember if your house was clean or not, just the fact that you were home to play with them and love them. I struggle to clean daily but then I remember Pres. Monson's words a few years back, there will come a day when you pass the empty rooms and remember the pitter patter of little feet so relish these days even if they are hard, they are teaching us something eternal. So, I paraphrased a lot but it's my mantra right now since I am too sick to clean and my oldest is now "sick" with me. He keeps saying the baby in his belly makes him sick too. Anyway, I can understand where you are coming from, just keep positive! BTW your girls are super cute, glad to see they are friends.
Alicia says
I really enjoy your posts. The way you life your life, I cant wait to be surrounded by little cuties like yours π

The Paxton Family says
HAHAHA!That made me laugh SO hard! How hillariously CUTE!
And I totally know what you mean about thinking you can't handle 2 so why have more? I am going back and forth right now a LOT π
Cara says
Oh my gosh, I feel exactly the same way. I'm so glad to see and read that I'm not the only one that feels like I'm staying above water by juuuuuust a little bit.

Pearl says

simplyvonne says

Dear Baby says
Ah ha ha! I posted today on FB that my kids are the most entertaining, but maybe yours are too.
And while I understand your TV appearance wasn't what you anticipated, viewed by someone with no expectations you came across polished, creative, and you rocked the casual chic. I love your sleak hair and white on white. You looked very J Crew and I thought you sounded down to earth and if I wasn't already a follower of yours, after watching that segment I deffinatley would have looked you up. Chin up, you're great.
Lynn says
haha! that is so funny! love it and so glad you got a picture of it to share!
Sarah says
thanks everyone! and yes this was all adi(the older sister)'s idea and the younger one just followed. can't wait to see what other sneaky things they'll do, esp. when they're teenagers, yikes! π
Liz E. says
