Owner's Manuel??

Ok...do children come with an owner's manuel?  Is there a book that tells you what to do when your child throws herself on the floor, or when they are sick and won't let you put them down but you have to cook dinner for the other two, or a book that tells you the proper punishment for things, or something that tells you what to do when all they do is whine?  I must say being a mother is the hardest but most rewarding job ever.  This past Sunday getting out the door to go to church was insane...anyone ever been there??  I finally looked at my husband and said well honey I guess I will have to go to hell because this is just not worth it.  Of course I was only kidding.  However, when we finally made it to church the kids just love it.  We are so happy with our new church and so glad we made the move.  Well I took some pictures of the kids Sunday because I just thought they looked so darn cute.  Of course these are not the best pictures because its hard to get them all looking at the same time.  But to me its perfect....

Twins!

So I was sitting at work, like every other day and daycare sent me this beautiful picture of the twins.  You know it was right when I was having a really hard day and it just brightened up my day.  Through all the madness, I love my children more than anything in the world!!!

Andy's Big Win!!!

Well Friday I packed the twins up and we headed to Moultrie, GA to see Andy play in his big golf tournament.  Let's see I left work at noon, went home and packed, used every bit of my energy to load the car, headed to daycare to get the kids, loaded them up, got their movie going, and finally hit the road.  Wow!  Lucky, they did very good on the trip and we didn't have to stop.  Well the tournament was Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  We had a great time and got to visit all our cousins.  Andy ended up winning the low pro of the tournament, HOORAH!!  Well let me share this! Sunday was the big award ceremony and being absent minded like I sometimes can be, I decided it would be a good idea to take the twins to the golf course to see their daddy finish up.  Big mistake, big, huge!  Well during the award ceremony, Ryan managed to climb on top of the #9 green and pull the flag out and was swinging it around.  Abby decided to roll down the hill, then decided to just take off.  As I am trying to grab Ryan, I notice that Abby was halfway up the fairway.  How in the world can you grab two children who are going in two different directions?  You have to scream for help.  Well by now everyone was looking at us like are you crazy.  So that was enough, we loaded up and headed back to Gram's house.  At that moment I thought I am crazy. We did have a wonderful time and we are so proud of our Andy!!!

Mom's Night Out!

Ok so my husband agreed to let me go play Bunco with some teachers from work last night.  He was to take care of all three kids, a task that is hard for anyone.  During the night, I sent him a text to check on things, and he said everything was going great, awesome I thought!  But then......my phone goes off and this is what I read.  "Abby has crapped all in the tub, corn and all.  Honey there is pooh everywhere, all over the toys and all over her.  Why does she do this Jennifer, Ryan doesn't pooh in the tub.  It just ticks me off!"  Those were my husbands words...what did I do?  Well of course I died laughing, I showed every teacher that I was with.  I know I should not of laughed but how could I not.  When I got home my husband looked like he had just been drugged with something.  He wasn't talking or moving.  I just kissed him and went to bed.  Got to love these days...  :)

Evenings in our house!

Evenings in our house have become, well rather interesting. After my long day at work and dealing with 30 children, I head off to pick up my children.  Well as soon as we get home, everything begins.  To begin Ryan and Abby do not want to come in the house.  Therefore, before I can even get my things gathered up, Ryan and Abby are halfway up the road.  Heck maybe they have decided to run away.  Then I have to drag them in the house, just so I can put my stuff down.  Needless to say they are screaming. So next we try to get some time outside before dinner.  However, I have found that challenging.  How can I let them play outside and manage to cook dinner?  Then they scream and cry when I do finally bring them in to get dinner ready.  Now they hang on my legs and cry while I cook dinner, meanwhile Dylan (the 5 year old) is saying, mommie can I do this, mommie can I do that, mommie can you cut this on, mommie can you turn the computer on, and so forth.  Finally, dinner time and I will say this time has actually become enjoyable.  We got a new kitchen table that we can all sit at and we seem to have a nice sit down dinner.  At least for now....Please tell me there are other mothers out there who go through the same things??????
