We have a big family and LOVE it. I guess that is pretty important since we will not only be raising an 8, 5, 2, and 1 year old but a newborn as well shortly. One of the best things about having a big family is there is always something to do. One of the worst things about having a big family is there is always something to do. :)
Being as busy as we are, it is difficult to remember the important things in life. We decided to start a blog to help us focus on what is important since most days come and go in the blink of an eye. Just to illustrate this, check out our Saturday:
7:00-rolled out of bed and get all of us fed and dressed for Jessie’s basketball practice
8:00-9:00-attempted to watch Jessie’s practice while wrangling the other three kids
9:00-9:45-grabbed a quick bagel with Mimi and Papa while noticing all the stares we get because of all the kids
10:00-10:30-went to watch our nephew earn his white belt in karate (go Dylan!)
10:30-11:30-attempted to watch Jaylyn’s basketball practice, see 8:00-9:00
12:00-2:00-rushed home to watch the Tarheels crush State (yeah!)
2:00-3:00-supervised all the kids trying to drive a Barbie Jeep around the neighborhood
3:00-5:00-went bowling with all the kids plus Jennifer, Ryan, Michele, Dylan, Mimi and Papa…a birthday request of Jessie’s
5:00-5:30-rushed home to pack Jaylyn up and get her to a sleep over birthday party
6:00-8:30-made dinner and gave showers to all the kids, gave Jovie her first haircut, got all the kids to bed
8:45-Howard and I finally sat down to eat our dinner and settle down to watch a movie which I will inevitably fall asleep watching (I wonder why!)
Yeah, our lives are crazy…but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Come along for the ride.
