Things I don't want to forget-

I'll be honest a few of the following things currently get on my nerves,
but I also know one day I am going to miss them.

  • How loud it really is in our house...
  • Josie telling me yesterday her eyes were raining.
  • Hearing Josh and Nathan talking to each other at 5:30am this morning.
  • Seeing Abbie and Josie crawl back in bed together snuggling under the covers because they were cold.
  • Having Abbie call all her siblings over so she can read a book, then getting annoyed that Josie was the only one paying attention.
  • All the noise of the kids.
  • Josie changing 10 times a day, usually into clothes from the hamper.
  • The fact that Josie can't put a regular shirt on no matter how hard she tries because her hair it to big.
  • Josh teaching Nathan at the dinner table to say "yea baby".
  • Josie and Nathan feeding the dog at every single meal.
  • How loud the kids are.
  • Josie asking if the sun was awake when she gets up in the morning.
  • Nathan screaming "Hi" to me as I walk in each morning.
  • Family Dance Parties.
  • Josie asking me to turn the radio up over and over.
  • Nathan's giggle at everything his brother does.
  • The fact that is sounds like a heard of elephants live up stairs.
  • Abbie being convinced that I do a ton of fun stuff with the little kids, while she is at school.
  • Josie asking me to rock her before bed.
  • Nathan learning to make the dramatic sound of being squeezed when we hug him.
  • Me being really concerned that the dance party up stairs will cause someone to come through the ceiling down stairs.
  • Hearing Josie sing theme songs to her favorite shows through monitor, while she is supposed to be sleeping.
  • Josh asking everyday after school if he has to take a nap.
  • Abbie showing off her math regrouping skills and thinking it's amazing, convinced I never taught her that because I called it carrying and borrowing.
  • Lastly, Did I mention how loud it is in our house?
