Thinking of my children makes me smile, it also makes me roll my eyes, laugh and sometimes cry. But, I would not trade them for the world. Often I think what would my life be like without these cute little blessings and I don't want to imagine. Even when I am cleaning poop off the floor because the twins played monster truck rally through their diapers and I am crying as I scrub carpet that will never be the same, I love them. Even when Sarah has wet her panties for the third time and says she just forgot to get up and go, I love them. Even when Caleb has asked me for the tenth time if he can play his Nintendo DS(even though he has lost his privileges to play) I love them. I love them because no matter what they are my children and I am blessed that God has allowed me to be their mother. I love that this world has not crushed their dreams and they dream big. I love that they want to marry each other so they never have to "leave" our family. I love that on any given afternoon we could be visited by Peter Pan, a princess, a T- Rex, a ballerina or a dog. I love that they want to hold my hand and kiss me goodnight. I just love them. It isn't really a story today, but I have just been moved by my kids today and wanted to share.

God is so good! Isn't it amazing that he has given us the privilege to be mothers?
