A Perfectly Ordinary Day

A day in the life of this mommy. Wake up to little people needing something. Make food. Clean up food. Build a tower with Trios. Dress little people. Maybe dress mommy (maybe!). Start chores. Stop and read a book to little one who oh so sweetly asks "mom, book, pease." Mediate. More chores. Get snacks for little people. Kiss an owie. Say "ooh awesome robot/drawing/flip off the couch." Say it 20 more times. Make lunch. Clean up lunch. Help little people burn energy. Make dinner with 3 little helpers. Eat dinner. Talk about calcium, how vegetables make us super strong, and reverence during prayers. Throw dirty little people in the bath. Clean up bath. Cuddle. Read books. Rock baby (he's my baby for 5 more months!). Pray with big boys. Talk about Easter, death, Utah, Spiderman, how many days 'til the next holiday. Flop on my bed. Eat something sweet along with a heartburn med. Remember I'm pregnant. Say hi to baby #4. Say "Go To Bed!" two more times to big boys. Catch up with hubby. Sleep. Do it again. My Perfectly Ordinary days. How grateful I am to have them.



Because everyday I get to see these faces. Here's today's perfectly ordinary, glad to do it over and over again, day.



Yes, we usually start everyday with Trios. The worlds best toy. I'm not kidding. We have gotten more use out of these babies than any other toy. And yes, my boys have built guns... big guns. I'm not a huge fan of guns. I don't buy toy guns for my boys. But this doesn't mean they don't show up in one form or another. Even Cason has already created a couple. Boys.



Ordinary days are made oh so much more enjoyable when spring arrives. We're no longer cooped up in the house. Today we were out finding:



Four leaf clovers at...


the park! Parks are great... for boys and mommies. Even if the wind is blowing 30 miles per hour.



Three can be a handful, but watching them play together, 3 little buddies, I wouldn't have it any other way.


Of course, a normal day for us always consists of an owie. Some bigger than others.





Ordinarily I don't let Ty touch my nice camera... but I realized I don't have a pic of myself from the last like 4 months. Proof: Mommy exists.



And our day usually ends as it begins... with Trios. More building.



And of course bathtime, which wouldn't be near as fun without all our toys... yes, there's some Trios in there too.



Ordinarily, there will be a scuffle or two. But I've learned not to interfere, cuz they usually end in laughter.







A perfectly ordinary day of mine. Perfect. Someday I'll miss these days. A lot. And these faces.
