On April Fool's Day I woke the girls up at 5:00 a.m. and we went around the neighborhood playing pranks on our friends. We have a long standing competition going on in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we lost this year because one of our friends out did us by inviting everyone to a party at our house that we weren't having. The girl's ran around the neighborhood trying to retrieve the door hangers inviting everyone to our party.
I won't tell you about the prank I played on the girls because it had to do with feminine hygiene products. They laughed and laughed. They told me they think April Fool's is the best holiday in America.

upset feelings with each other. It is the best part
of being a mother to these 4 kids so close in age.
When the boys have to tell the girls why their feelings
are hurt, it always makes me chuckle. They are so cute.
Despite the ups and downs we are slowly becoming a family.
The kids are friends and maybe someday they will feel like
siblings.

to me with her karaoke machine. I went from being completely upset
to laughing. Motherhood I have discovered is an emotional roller coaster.

sporting event. Jeff tries to persuade him to be on his team
but Chandler always chooses me. It is hilarious. I tell
Jeff it is because we usually win. I am so grateful for Jeff's boy's in our family.
Sara, sweet Sara. She is quick to give me a hug
when she thinks I am sad and takes such good
care of me. She makes me want to be a better
mother.
Love it!! Especially the googles. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI think your Last Supper idea was fabulous!! I might have to copy that next year.
You're such a good mom Amy and I'm so glad you're my friend. You're almost with me in Ukraine last year. I read last years post each day and right now I'm anxiously awaiting your arrival!
