Keeping everyone posted...

Ok...so I have been really slack about updates on this thing and after talking to my sister-in-law Christyn (who by the way is the queen of keeping everyone updated!) has convinced me to TRY and update more...so, two updates in two days is pretty good I think!!! After staring at our family picture, it brought tears to my eyes to think how OLD all of our kids are...time goes by so fast. Although in the middle of everything, I do not often step back and reflect on the blessings that they really are!!!! I never in a million years thought I would have FOUR kids and on top of that ALL boys...but they are the best thing that could have happened to me and Jas!!!! From the smiles they give us to the tantrums they throw...we would not have it any other way! So, for all the mother's reading this I thought I could give some insight to how funny and crazy days are here...from eating the whole container of grape jelly behind daddy's leather chair to peeing naked outside in front of the neighbor's...there is never a dull moment. Although today one specific thing comes to mind...the other day Jack and Jon were REALLY upset at me and Jason...we punished them by bringing them inside and not letting them back out the rest of the evening. Inside it only got worse. I think this was the first time I heard them tell us "They hated us!". I was at a loss of what to do (as I usually am!) and let Jason take the lead. He sent them upstairs without dinner and that just made them more upset. So they proceeded to sit at the top of the stairs and scream at us. Finally at the end of their rant, we heard them yell, (mind you this is word for word), "Daddy, you hate us, you don't love us, you even hate JESUS!"...at that, all that Jason and I could do was just look at each other and giggle. I know that might sound bad, but that is really all we did...things did calm down that night and apologies were given, but that will be one of my memories that will forever go down in the Humphries household. So, just remember when your day is bad or not going the way you thought it would, it could always be worse...an eight year old could tell you that you hate Jesus!!!!
