We're spending a lot of time outside. Perfect weather. Extra sunshine. Fresh air. Our main source of entertainment lately? Chalk.

SIX

Oh hey, blog. I sort of forgot about you. It's these six littles. They are crazy. And hard. And crazy hard. It's funny to me - up until now, adding another little to our family was not much of an adjustment. I could tackle the world minutes after returning home from the hospital. This time, though. Eesh. Not so much. These last [almost] four weeks have been rough. Not being able to recover in my "normal" time-frame did not help matters, either. So I can tell you - WITHOUT A DOUBT - that six is our limit. I mean six kids in 6 years is just pure insanity. Waaaaay more crazy than five kids in 5 years. Trust me. But you know what? Even though there have been some flat-out miserable days, I wouldn't change anything. This difficult phase is just that. A phase. It won't be long before I am back to conquering this "mom of many" thing (I hope). For now, the house might not be as orderly as I would like. The kids might not be taught preschool every day. And I might not cross off all the tasks on my to-do list. It's okay. We'll make it.
