How do I do it?

This is the question that I am asked more often than not. And to be honest I never really thought about it that much......until now. Here are some things that I know definitely play a roll in the matter:
Prayer
A husband that is willing to help out when he is home
Great support group friends & family
baby wise and other books alike
Reese & Dallas~ they help a ton with Ava
All my kids are cute (if they weren't I think we would have a BIG problem)
Appliances....could you imagine doing this in the good ole days!
SUN-the rainy days are really hard
A monkey backpack for Ava.....Seriously if you have a two year old that wants to walk in stores it does wonders
Oh and I limit store trips to 30 minutes max!!

I am sure there are a ton of other things, but I want to assure you that I am no super mom. I wish that I had all things together, but I don't. I make many mistakes and hope and pray that my kids aren't forever wounded from them. I often observe what other moms are doing to see if it would work for me. I laugh when people tell me I am so laid back because that is not how I see myself.

    I get that question a lot too and the other question I get all the time is "Are all 4 of these kids YOURS?"

    Yes, yes they are.

    Great tips here - so you like the monkey backpack? I was watching a kid with one of those on the other day and wondering how well it worked. Where did you get it?

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
