..."mommy don't you know...?"

As I write this I am am looking out my window at about 3 feet of snow. I love it! So pretty. We are under a winter storm warning and are expecting 12-18 more inches tonight. We have plans to travel to North Carolina Thursday so we can introduce Raegan Joy to all of our family. We were sitting at lunch yesterday when I explained to the boys that if the next snow storm (tonights)is bad we may have to cancel our trip to NC. Brasen Thomas looked at me and said, "Mommy don't you know I can talk to God, and I will just tell him to make it not a bad storm!" How true that is. We will wait and see how the storm plays out and how our plans will unfold.

Yesterday we got out of the house in order to get a few things we needed to prepare for round two of the snow and get rid of a touch of cabin fever. We walked around Khol's for awhile and I look forward to getting back to my pre preggo body so I can purchase new clothes for myself. Then we did a very daring and crazy thing. We went to Olive Garden for dinner. Yeap all six of us. We got a lot of strange and critical looks, but it wasn't because our kids were misbehaving. It was because of the number of kids sitting at our table. I know we were a sight to behold eating out with 4 kids ages six and under. I was so proud of the kids. Cohen and Brasen entertained each other with games of tic tac toe and I took care of Raegan while Nolan and Bert watched many mini family movies on Bert's phone. It was a success! And I didn't have to cook or clean up the mess so an even bigger success!

This morning I have managed to clean the kitchen, fold 4 loads of laundry and start another. I have taken the sheets off my bed that Raegan so sweetly peed all over at 3 am. And I have eaten breakfast! However all 5 of us are still in our jammies, a battle I have decided if I want to fight today or not. I am waiting for Raegan to eat again and as soon as she does I will start school with the boys. As of right now I can safley say that going from one kid to two was the hardest transition. Going from three to four has been easy. That is how I feel today, we will see how I feel tomorrow...or this afternoon!
