Happy National Coffee Day!

I am not too sure why we have a holiday around coffee although I am a huge fan of it!  I am all about my coffee...maybe I need some more of it today because my energy level is way down.  I can't get in my groove ugh!  I usually have a day like this about once a week where I...just. can't. get. motivated.  The next day I usually pay for it because I have to play catch up for my laziness.

But I have gotten lots of kid cuddles today and I love it.  Axton and Lucy both say to me, "I want a hold you!" :)

OH and speaking of cuddles, this is a conversation me and Lucy had the other day:

Lucy crying...

Me: "Lucy, what is the matter?"

Lucy: "I MAD!"

Me: "Why are you mad?"

Lucy: "I mad at YOU!!!"

Me: "Why Lucy?" (trying not to laugh out loud)

Lucy:  "Because I want to HOLD you!"  

Me: "Well Lucy stop crying and I will hold you silly!"

Here are some pics I have taken over the last few days of the kiddos and will round them all up in one post. Some pics have been taken when other kids had already left so some are missing.   :(

The weather has been so pretty Karis loves to take her "stuff" (and she has a LOT of it believe me...she is my pack rat!) out onto the fort and play.

Everett is into chewing on one or two fingers...beginning of teething maybe?!

Ev and Lucy were both wearing polka dots so I had to take a picture!

Sweet Ax after nap...that is when he gives the BEST cuddles!

Sweet hugs...

We found a caterpillar outside the other day and the kids wanted to keep it.  Lucy called it a snake haha! Look closely on the stick...it is small and green.

My (almost) 7 year old...can't believe she will be 7 on Tuesday!

Hugs before school

Karis put Lucy's hair into pigtails the other night after bath and Lucy has wanted them ever since.  Her hair is not really long enough but she wants them anyway.  She keeps saying, "I want pigtails like Sissy!"  She was quite proud of these!

Playtime!  How many toddlers can you get in a play tent?!  LOTS!  Believe me, we've tried!

Brayden went fishing with dad last night and picked a persimmon off the tree and brought it home to eat it...

Karis always has playtime with Everett before she leaves for school...

Axton was "helping" Lucy pick out some of her panties this morning and I turned around to see this....bahaha!  Silly boy!

These kiddos keep me on my toes! :)

Now off to maybe brew some more coffee for this special coffee day.  I have a long night ahead of me...cook dinner, run, bathe kids, get everyone in bed and do my grocery shopping.  My energy better come back in a jiffy!
