Christmas Time Is Here...

Wow, how did I spend all that money? Where did it all go? I ask myself this every year, and still haven't figured it out!! It's easy for money to disapear when you have 3 kids. Maybe I should just give up and stop looking for it...haha
Well it's almost Christmas, and Tori has her last day of school today...at least till next year ;)
I am SO excited that I don't have to get up and get her around for school for 2 WHOLE WEEKS!! Awesome. Well, Liam the youngest, is 13 months old right now and is getting bigger everyday, walking and babbling, I love this stage. Poor Camy is so the middle child right now, she get's blamed for all that goes wrong, which makes me feel awful, how do you make sure all of your children are treated fairly? I am finding it hard. Luckly I am having one more Harless baby, and then she won't be the middle one! Hopefully that will make it easier for her, and not worse. I am pregnant again, so I can't really call it "Life with three kids" for much longer..:) BUT this is going to be the last. Some people would think I am crazy if they knew that I really am excited about this baby...but how can't you be? It's a miracle...all of them are. Not to excited about giving birth again, but you have to take some bad with the good, right?? LOL. Well this baby is due in June and we aren't going to find out what it is, weird huh? I thought I would never do that, I used to get annoyed with ppl who didn't find out, and now I am one of them. Chad's sure it is a boy, I am saying girl. But I guess we won't know till summer! I need a book on how to pay equal attention to all of your children, I find it hard. I love them all the same, but it seems like at least one, usually Cam, is left out. :( That would be my new years resolution...
Liam walks around, and it is the cutest thing ever...I can't wait till he starts really talking, he's so sweet, I just want to know what's going on in that little bean of his! :) Can't believe how big he's gotten, in less than a year from when I last wrote on this...which is crazy!!
Camryn is our little mischevious, and reckless Monkey. She can be the sweetest and the meanest all in the same sentence! She is the best cuddler!
Tori is the brightest little kindergarten I know! I can't believe how she couldn't even read whole words b4 she started school, and now she is attempting reading books!! Amazing. She is truelly a smart little girl, and I can't wait till the day she reads through a book non-stop, I could cry just thinking about that.
I love my kids they are just amazing, and all have their own strong personalities! They are so different in how they act that I wouldn't even peg them as brother, and sisters!
Well, my house is trashed, and I have a hard time caring right now. Napping sounds WAY more fun than cleaning, I am thinking it is time to put them down for a nap, and MAYBE I can catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's :) (higly doubt it though)
Writing this reminds me how much I like typing...I just find it...FUN :)
Maybe it won't be so long till my next post!

Lazy....baby addict

Lazy days, that's every day for me. I find it so hard to get up and clean my house every day. It is amazing how fast a day can go buy when you have three children! By the time we wake up and get around, it seems like it is already time to get ready for work. Wish I could slow down time, that way I would be able to take my time and clean the whole house....if only.
Love holding my little man. He's so adorable, especially when he's sleeping. Yeah I probably shouldn't hold him and get him used to being held all the time, but this time goes by so fast. I want to cherish it all I can. I decided that to some people babies are like an addiction. You have some of your own, and when you see a new one at the store, or while you are working, you automatically want another one. That is me. I saw a tiny little new born at work last night, and was like, awww...I already want another one! I am totally insane!! Why can't I play videos in my head of moments when the kids are being terrible, or when I've checked out at the store and spent over 30 dollars just on diapers and wipes, and then realize what the heck am I thinking, I want another one ?!! But it is so easy to want more of something that gives you hugs, and tells you they love you. And smiles at you even when they are not old enough to talk, and in that smile you can already tell that this baby loves you unconditionally. It's amazing!
But I just have to know that not having more will give the ones I have a better future. I will just have to look forward to the day when my kids have kids, eons from now, and then I will get to cuddle with them, and then send them home! Yay!
enough babbling on, gotta go try to motivate, and clean this tornado ravaged house...looks that way anyways....

Just a sidekick, not a super hero

Okay, well dinner is done, Liam fell asleep and the girls are bathed, no cupcakes though. Can't do everything I guess. The house still looks like a toy store threw up all over it. And I haven't even brushed my hair all day, or my teeth for that matter, gross...gotta go do that and get ready for work. Chad should be on his way home by now...

Typing with three kids...

I have three wonderful, beautiful children. Tori the queen bee, is four. Camryn the middle child, poor thing, is 20 months and Liam the angel, and our first boy is only two months old.

Did they ever teach in high school computer class how to type with an infant sleeping in one arm and a toddler fighting for attention in the other? Just wondering, because I think I missed school that day! Guess I'm not doing to bad, I only have to fix every 3rd word.....
Now the toddler is off playing and my four year old is asking me to put some sort of toy back together...great! Baby woke up. Please baby keep screaming...adds to the affect.
Okay, now I am feeding Liam and typing...wow women are remarkable...
Amazing what we can do...ha ha
Now Tori and Cam have crawled into a plastic tote, pretending it is a boat. Gotta love em.
Need to get them all down for a nap. They want to make cupcakes. And they want to get a bath, and I have to leave for work in a couple of hours. Let's see, cupcakes take about an hour to prepare/bake. A bath takes about a half an hour. So If I start now I could get cupcakes made, two baths done, and just have enough time to get myself ready to go to work. Sounds like fun to me...
Can't remember how much longer it will be till this baby will hold his own bottle, now would be nice. He is only 2 months old...guess I will have to wait a little longer.
Don't think that the cupcakes or the bath are going to happen at this rate. Makes me feel like a bad mom when I can't get it all done. Better go now and try to get some of it done. Always wondering how my mother did it with four girls....now SHE is a Wonder Woman. Must not run in the family....
