With the lack of a computer here lately I have missed writing about those little moments. You know when you have thoughts about your day something that the kids say and you want to write it down.. Then later you forget..:(

So I had a moment and wanted to write a couple or catch up on things at my house.

The other day I was laying in my bed watching tv and Sebastian climbs up into the bed. "Mommy, why do you have freckles and I don't?" Everyone is different God decided I needed to have the freckles."But Cole and Alex have freckles too." I tried to reassure him that just because they have freckles and he doesn't it doesn't mean that I don't love him less or God made a mistake by not giving him freckles." Mommy, I want freckles!" Maybe one day you will have them.Cole's came late. "oh"

After going to camp I had more freckles than normal for me. At least as an adult. I would look in the mirror and remember a summer that I spent so much time in the sun that I was totally covered with freckles and that is what I felt like when I looked in the mirror. Crazy, what brings back memories.

Last night I got to go home early from work. So instead of working all night I was home by a little after midnight. I walk in to find all the boys still awake. All spread out over the couches. Some with blankets barely holding their eyes open. Sebastian looks up and hi mommy. Then lays his head down again. Then as he hears Alex and I talking in the kitchen he wakes up and really understands mommy is home and it's not morning. So as soon as I sit on the couch he climbs up in my lap and puts his arm around my neck and cuddles like as when he was a toddler. He is quickly asleep. Now of course wild sleeper he is by the time I go to bed his long body is sprawled out across my lap and half the couch. I treasure those moments when I can still hold my babies. Keeping in mind my babies are really no longer babies and some way to big to hold. I don't know if it is because I know this is my last one to be small enough to still hold and not fall over or I am just more in tune with those things. I miss holding my babies. So I savor every moment I can with my last little guy. Thankfully they are all very willing to give out hugs and sit with me.

Usually at night Eve goes off to her bed a long time before I am able to go to bed. Sunday I didn't sleep very much after getting off knowing I didn't work Sunday night. So eventually being totally exhausted I head off to my room to watch a movie. I can hear the kids playing monopoly and having so much fun. It is wonderful to hear the sounds of laughter not you had control of the tv last etc... You know the words of summer. Anyways, I was laying in bed watching the movie and Eve comes in and climbs in next to me lays her head on my arms and quietly watches the movie too. I very seldom get that time with Eve without one of the little boys around. It was so nice to just have time as mom and daughter even if words were not spoken.

I was on my way to take Alex, Sebastian and Asa to cub camp this afternoon and Eve calls. "Mom, can you ask the boys something for me?" She is being all serious.Sure.. Then she proceeds to tell me that one of the little girls she babysits and her cousin wanted her to ask them if they liked them. But it needed to be away from anyone else being able to hear. The story behind these girls. Ashlee was our neighbor before we moved. Her mom and I are really good friends. She is in the same grade as Sebastian. Alya(sp) is in the same grade as Sebastian too. She just moved here mid year. And immediately got the attention of every boy in 3rd grade and some in 4th. Cute girl. Well, for a while Sebastian like Alya and made it well known until he realized his best friend did too. So he said he stopped.
So as I asked both boys if they liked them. Sebastian would only say with a smile on his face. ASK EVE! Alex just grinned from EAR to EAR... How funny... Sebastian answered for him..He has always liked her. Isn't too early for puppy love?
