I am desperately trying to get back into routine, but trying to be kind to myself at the same time. I tackled the grocery store this morning with all of the boys and it went quite well. This adjustment to five has been one of the easiest because, after four, what's one more? There are still some things that are hard though, so we are taking our weeks one day at a time.
After our busy morning, my heart melted when I came downstairs to find Finners snoozing on the couch in his overalls. I stopped for a few minutes to admire his chubby toddler toes, his arm tucked behind his head, his long dark lashes and his wispy blonde hair. Moments like these fill my mother heart to the brim and remind me why I dreamed of being a mother my whole childhood.
With two of the four boys napping, I decided to whip up a quick craft for the big boys. With all of the time I spend sitting and feeding Oliver during the day, I sometimes feel guilty for not being able to spend more time with these cute boys.
Pinterest came to the rescue with these cute little handprint, Fall trees. The boys had fun cutting and gluing, and even though the kitchen was still a mess when we had finished, I felt a lot better about things.
Soon, I heard Ollie squeaking and stretching over the monitor and I had to put everything else on hold.
Eat, sleep, repeat.
That's pretty much how life is going these days....
