Some days my heart is over flowing with love for these little human beings. Don't get me wrong, I love them every single day, but today, I am bursting at the seams.
We were flying solo today, on a Sunday. I don't know why that is such a big deal, but for some reason, getting four kids ready and out the door for church is a big job. Which I'm always super confused by because we get four kids ready and out the door for school five days a week.... well, kind of. Elena is normally naked when they leave. Not because she wasn't dressed, but because she's already ditched her clothes for the tenth time. Maybe that's what makes Sunday so different, I have to keep her clothed for four straight hours. She did go in her room twice and close the door and then go in her closet and close the door in an attempt to undress herself before we left. Anyway--I'm getting way off topic. I'm just trying to figure out why Sunday's seem more difficult than others. I'm guessing it's all Satan's work. Anyhow, we went to church, without Cody today. I had to speak and my little babies sat all by themselves like perfect little angels. I had asked Lacey to babysit Kevin and Elena to babysit Julia and I asked them to keep Kevin and Julia completely separated at the opposite ends of the row, and it worked like a charm. I don't recall even looking at them once while I was speaking. It made my Mommy heart swell ten times.
We attended all of our classes like normal and then had to stay after for a meeting. I brought their lunches and they all played quietly in the nursery while I was in my meeting. I'm telling you, they were amazing. I've thanked them 100 times over today, but it just doesn't seem enough. I couldn't have done today without them.
I sure do love these kids!!
