5 minutes PEACE!

So I have 2 children now and I am out of my mind. I don't get anything done all day long. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get a shower in. I try to every now and again so I don't smell too bad. It seems like just as one kid stops bawling the other starts and that is how my days go now and probably for the rest of my life. I probably should read my previous post on Why we become mothers a few times a day to get through the day. My sister took new pictures of Jaxon of I have yet to have time to look at them let alone to post them on my blog. Someday soon when I have a semblance of normalcy I will. Don't wait though, I am not sure when that will come.

Reagan has been a stinker since the baby came. She has to be in the middle of everything. She rides him like a horse, tips the carseat over with him in it, pokes his head, squeezes his feet you name it, she does it. The poor boy doesn't seem to mind too much. Every now and again he will let out a wail. She sure does like him though. The other day as I was helping her say prayers at night, I said say "please help us to be patient" she said "please mom be patient". It makes me feel like such a great mom when your 2 yr old prays for you to be patient. She has been waking up for like 2 hours at night and won't go back to sleep, so last night Brian told her that if she stayed in her bed all night long and didn't get out he would get her a snow cone. Today she woke up and ran into the living room and said "snowcone"! She was excited. We are also learning she has an excellent memory.

Since I haven't posted pictures and you would like to see some go to the side of my blog and click on Petunia that will take you to my sisters blog and you can view some there. I will try to get it done in the next week or two when I have 5 minutes peace. That is also a book 5 minutes peace. Read it if you have children, it will all make sense.

Those pictures from Ashley are so cute! I am amazed at all that you still get done even when sick and taking care of two! I can just see Reagan saying "snowcone?" right when she gets up. Funny!

Brooke--I don't envy you right now! :) But you are tough and I am proud. I think that Kayla and I are going to try to come meet Jaxon soon if that is okay with you? We'll call before hand! Can I help with anything?!
