A Day in the Life of... a mother

My day as a mother (which started @ 4 since I went back to work today... I'm sad). Sitting at the dinner table. Orin: "There is something in my nose." Me: "Well stop picking it all the time!" We blow his nose... nothing. He's watery eyed and picking his nose and snorting. Nothing.

Ten minutes later, I am loading the dishwasher and Brody comes by, swipes two knives and runs off, jumps on the couch laughing as I chase him (and yell danger, danger!), then chucks the knives (luckily missing anything/anyone. (Put Brody in his crib and tell him that's dangerous).

Go to check on Orin (who was sent to use the bathroom). He's sitting on the bathroom counter, holding a noodle. "Oh mom. It was a just a noodle up my nose!" Nice! We did have noodles for dinner...

Head to pick up Brody from his crib, he's crying: "Hug, hug, hug!" (He does not like getting in trouble!
This scene took place within a 20 minute window... it's only 5:30. When is bedtime?

(a pic taken last month... first of all to show you how much bigger my kids are & I can't blog without pictures, and to show you their little personalities!)

By the way, did I mention we are having ANOTHER BOY in May!
We had or I should say have had a girl name picked out... I find boy names so hard! However, we do have lots of boy clothes, toys, room, etc... so in that we are ready to go!
Orin has thought of some nice names: Golf, Craft
Mason's suggestion: Rufus
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

P.S. I really do LOVE being a mother! Does anyone else have days, I mean, hours like this? :) Oh, and I am excited to be pregnant...
Also, I fully intend on back blogging... have lots of tidbits and pictures to share... but we'll see, I seem to have my hands full!
