Here is just a quick fun post for a Sunday evening. I hope you all have had a great weekend. Tomorrow look for some posts on toddler adoption and attachment.

Ten Random Things I have Learned From Being a Parent.

When you hear a riot of laughter coming from your children and then several of them directing one of their siblings to “go show mom”, it definitely will NOT be good.

Plastic army men, marbles, legos, Barbie shoes, rocks and coins will go through the washer and dryer and come out just fine. Gum, chapstick, Pull-ups and crayons do not.

If you have kids, there is no use cleaning out your car. Two days later, you will not even be able to tell you did it anyway.

Any meal will taste better if you eat it outside. All drinks taste better with a twisty straw.

Having the ability to play a movie in our car (or van) on road-trips is the single greatest technological advantage that parents these days have over our parents.

Farts and burps are funny…especially during meals or prayers.

Giggling is just as contagious as yawns.

Even when the dinner stomach is full, there is always room in your dessert stomach.

You can have fun just about anywhere.

Being a mom is the most fun, most demanding, more rewarding, most exciting, most emotional, most difficult, most joyful, most challenging, most heart breaking, most heart swelling, most amazingly wonderful job on Earth.
