This totally cracked me up.  It’s a quote from the weekly pregnancy e-mail update I get.

Pregnancy survival skill: How to get out of a soft chair

Put your feet flat on the floor and bend from the hips. Push on the armrests with your hands! Use your stomach muscles. If upward motion is still elusive, pick up your magazine and yell for more mint-chip ice cream. (Standing up is totally overrated anyway.)

Does anyone else have these surreal moments where they look at their kids and wonder how on earth it all happened so fast?  Sometimes just watching them, it hits me how strange and incredible and amazing it is that I’m a mother of 3(4?) and these little ones running around actually belong here.  Hmmm…maybe I’m just strange and introspective. 

Tonight at least I was happy to claim them.  They were all freshly bathed and in their pajamas goofing around in the living room before bed.  I just had to take some pictures.  Before we know it, I’m sure, times like this will be a distant memory.

Yesterday while eating candy(special pumpkin shaped ones that she’s been waiting for all summer!) Chloe said to me,

“Mommy, I wish you would have one so baby Shiloh could taste it.  I bet he would like to have some!”

:)  So Sweet!
