Looking at these pictures completely changes the angle of my post today. We've had an interesting past few days full of sickness and sleeplessness. But it's not worth focusing on that when I have these little faces to remind me of why I'm doing this.
I truly have wondered lately how my mother did this. How did any of our moms do this? They must have looked at a lot of photos or just had a gift for recognizing what's really important.
For example: Is it really a life and death situation if I let Cole completely dismantle his cookie in search of M & Ms and devour the pieces off the kitchen floor?
And is it really so bad that Keith and Cole love their sister so much that they practically squeeze the life out of her?
And isn't it okay that every stick or similar item is turned into a weapon? Isn't that what boys do? (I did draw the line when the boys wanted to take the sticks to bed with them)
Yep. I'm learning to let go of a few things and only focus on what is important and necessary.
These 4 are it--the 4 reasons why I got out of bed this morning and remembered to smile.

Your kids are adorable! Hang in there!
They are so cute! Yes you are in the thick of it now but they grow up WAY too fast! Take it one day at a time, or one hour at a time if you have too.
Miss you!

Darc,
You really are an amazing mom and your kids are so lucky. I also admire your positive attitude. Keep up the good work. So glad we can see pictures of the kids-they are so cute. Also, if it makes you feel better, I let Ethan sleep with is pop gun all the time--some things just don't matter!! Glad you are surviving!!
Ok, you totally made me cry **sniffle** Its why Heavenly Father made kids cute and funny right? So that we wouldn't kill them?
Thanks for the post! Obviously you are busy. I only wish I could be there every day to help. LOVE your positive attitude.
So cute! I love Ally's dress, way too cute! You never cease to amaze me, Darcee!
What a beautiful family!!! They are the reasons why we do all that we do. Thanks for the reminder today, I needed it. Especially since the baby just dumped a bag a cereal on the floor. :)
I have way too many days that I have to remember why I do this, and wonder how my mom did. But truth is, your kids are adorable, so the world is glad you guys procreated. I remember that I love my kids every day. I also forget, every day.
Motherhood is sooooo hard. There's no accolades for it either.
First, I can see A's resemblance to the twins.
Second, in every picture your children are exploring, happy and thriving. That's more than enough.
Hang in there. If I were close by I would bring you a treat and we would swap war stories.
Love you,
S
You are amazing! What a beautiful family!
I hate missing even a moment of their lives.
Ahhh! So cute! You are a great mom! Your kids are darling...Thanks to your parent for helping me out with singing time in nursery. I had 22 kids! Yeah..22! They were a BIG help!
I know what you're saying. It completely resonated in my heart today as I didn't want to get out of bed either. Thank you for uplifting and inspiring me. Miss you!
