Isn't family the greatest? On Fridays we meet Josh for lunch at his work, and today it was the pizza buffet, Ammon's choice. Lunch was nice, with lots of pop ("soda" for you picky people) and different kinds of pizza. Dessert pizza is my favorite! So Josh went back to work, and I decided to take the kids to the mall and get a little birthday shopping done for August birthdays. What was I thinking? Taking my poor kids to the mall right smack dab in the middle of naptime? Am I crazy? We all do fine for the first little while, and I decided that one trip around the mall would be plenty for us all. But after two lengthy trips to the bathroom, a spilled pop, a couple meltdowns (one by me), and a lost old lady trying to explain the busing system and it's flaws to me, we were all ready to go home. On the way home, I realized if the kids sleep now, then they won't want to take a nap when they get home...so I tried to keep them awake with my enthralling storytelling skills. We started with the Three Pigs, and at the end I had Ammon saying "huff and puff" in his sleep I believe. I was pointing out everything I thought was exciting, trains, big bulldozers, anything...tall trees...but nothing was working. Luckily when we got home, the two big kids grabbed their blankets and happily went to bed, and when they wake up the world will be well again. Each day is such an adventure! Meanwhile during all this, little Liam is in his carseat, either sleeping or watching the kids or squealing (he's taken to doing short loud bursts of squealing mixed with yelling, which is rather loud when he does it in Relief Society) or playing with his burp rag. Ah...to be 6 months old.It's great being a mom!!! :)

I always get a good laugh from your pictures and blogging, I can just imagine it all going on as I read. I'm gonna miss you, have an awesome trip and I'll try to survive without you, maybe I will no longer be prego sick when you get back!
I love days like that. It makes me super grateful for the days when all my little ones are perfect, ok almost perfect. Of course when you're giving your children SODA instead of soy milk, sweety what do you expect. And pizza, what happened to tofu. I'm going to have to send you a book on children's health foods. Laura make healthy choices, especially when it comes to your children. Wow, I almost got all that out without laughing. Are you really going to your sisters or are you really coming to Cali? See you soon!
I'm embarassed (kind of) to admit you're a much nicer mommy than me. i don't tell my children sweet stories of soft little piggies and evil wolves to keep them awake...I throw water at them and roll down the window! My kids aren't scared of wolves, they're terrified of water guns.
So, now I am tagging you. What are your quirks!! I think I give out way to much info! Oh well.
