What did I do today, you ask?

I am exhausted. How do three little ones wear me out so much? Well, not only did I keep three kids happy all day long (well, mostly), but I also managed to:
Vacuum all the floors
Bake 2 loaves of banana bread with Austin (chocolate chip by request)
Took 3 kids to Target to grocery shop (this is always a good time and I have had to become very creative as to where to put the groceries since I have so many kids)
Emptied the dishwasher
Filled the dishwasher
Emailed (of course)
Babysat James and Kiernan this evening and fed them dinner so Em and Jim could go on a date (Emily and I have a good thing going - we each trade kids once a month so that we can go on a dinner date with our hubbies. Are we smart or what?)
Cleaned up the toys in the backyard since it's suppose to rain.
Played toys with all the kids
Picked up and put aways toys about 17 times
Swept the kitchen floor 3 times
Took out 2 bags of recycling to the garage
Washed 4 sets of bed sheets and blankets.
Made 3 out of the 4 beds (Thanks, shawn, for making Austins - I forgot!)
Went for a long walk and bike ride with the kids (funny story - Austin was riding his bike while I pushed the double stroller. All of a sudden he jumped off his bike, ran over to a tree and started to pull his pants down - just in time I said Austin what are you doing? Of course, he says - I have to pee! That's not our tree I said and we immediately very quickly headed for home to use the bathroom. What's his deal with peeing lately?!?!)
Went for a walk all by myself while Shawn did bath and bedtime with the kiddos
And now I am sitting on the couch blogging.
That's the stuff I can remember doing today - I'm sure there's much much more, but who knows. But you know what? I'm happy. I love being a mom to my 3 wonderful children and wife to my amazing husband. I can't imagine not being at home with them everyday. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It may not be glamorous, but I am with my kids and that is what matters most in life. Unfortunately it won't last forever (although I might be looking forward to preschool in the fall just a little bit)
Hope you are having the time of your life!
