Hooray for motherhood!


Today I had one of those experiences that I want to look back and read about in 20 years when I "miss how little they used to be" and remind myself that...it is better that they are grown!

In preparation for our upcoming cruise, I took all kids to the mall today to attempt to buy a dress. Then (as it ALWAYS happens)Brook and Ty had to go potty. I was frustrated and Brooklyn reminded me "You should have told us to go at home!" My bad. I made them hold it while I picked out 5 dresses. Then I took everyone in the bathroom with me and I tried on 5 dresses while Lincoln screamed the whole time like I was killing him!(yes he is recovering from fever, ear infection and roseola...but by golly I needed to shop.) Then my Naya got ahold of my lipgloss and was painting her face with it..so when I took it away she was crying too! Then Tyson was running around like a bug on speed as I walked through the store to buy a dress and Lincoln continued to sernade everyone. There were some smirks from passerbyers and a few dirty looks in my direction. Next I picked Lincoln up, put him on one hip and pushed the double stroller with one hand while Brooklyn held the side and Tyson continued to find "short cuts" and run away. We stood in line for some lunch but then Lincoln started crying again in my arms and Tyson was bothering the nice lady next to us who happens to be in our ward. In conclusion, instead of lunch and playing....I ended up leaving the mall! I got a really cute dress though. Yea for motherhood!
