Okay, so I'm supposed to be the mature one, right? Well, sometimes I just want to be grumpy, like when I plan a project and #1 child decides he doesn't want to do it because I said it has to be done with GLUE because TAPE wouldn't work. Yes, that was the quarrel. He likes TAPE. And I wanted to say, "you WILL do the project I have planned", but instead, I did a more disguised version of immaturity, which sounded basically like this: "Okay, you go find your own project that you can use tape with, cause this is the one that I've planned, and I'll do it with Laura." And as if to spite me (and I think it was), he TAPED lots of things to a piece of paper and seemed genuinely happy with his *project*. So in the spirit of my cousin Shelby, I'm putting it out there, cause I'm not afraid to share the down moments, right?! Right. Hmph.

Hahaha! I LOVE it (and feel that way quite often these days, too)!!
Missing you guys!
Ah, those blessed moments! But seriously, the kind of stuff you can roll with now, is SO MUCH MORE than before kids!
you make me laugh. apparently Daniel missed the grumpiness though cause he made himself happy anyway... that is the funniest part to me. "Fine mom - I'll do what I want anyway..."
Rock on Sister!!! You say it how it is! I feel like that ALL the time - boys wanting to correct me and such. UG.
Love to you and your spirited children!
