A day in the life....

Lately I have been waking up at 5:00 a.m. Crazy, I know. What is even crazier is if I don't get to the gym by 5:30, you can not find a treadmill. Hate these "new years resolutioner's", why don't they just give up already. On a brighter note, my orthotics are awesome, and just what I needed! Who knew plastic was so comfy?

The first thing the kids do when they wake up, is give Max good morning hugs.
Why does everyone except me love this dog so much?
And why does this dog, act like I am the alpha? Frustrating!

Next up, after walking 10 plus kids to school was play group for a bunch of 3 year olds!

"Look mom, we are sharing!"

"I will give you a bite of mine, if....

...you give me a bite of yours."

No wonder kids get sick all the time.

I guess a good mom, would have stopped this insanity,

and not grabbed her camera.

Then, I see clues that the kids have found the Valentine candy stash.

Hello, I am a Dunham, and love chocolate!

After dinner reading time. Maggie loves reading to the younger siblings. Not to mention they love it too!
Maggie has really come into her own. I am so proud of how she plays with Peter and Rachel, and gives them attention. Today she remembered to call when she got to a friends. She wanted to make sure I told Rachel that she loved her. Awww.

Then, the best part of all. After bath hugs. Love this sweet little thing.

My day started off crazy busy. By 8:30, Rachel was already in a time out. Never a good sign. As she cried, I picked up for the morning. I was thinking that if I knew motherhood was going to be this hard, I don't know I would have chosen it.

Then by the end of the day, I know I am glad I choose it.

And so goes the cycle.
