Controlled Chaos






I had the Mothersheads over today while Claire went to Remmi's parent/teacher conference. In moments like this it's ever more enforced that I will never have more then 3 kids. Not that it takes having 6 at my house to remind me.

Actually in all fairness, it was pretty mellow (for a Petersen/Mothershead cousin get together). Alex was going his ABC's on the computer so I made Rueger and Remmi join in. I only had to break up one Remmi/Rueger fight. I put a headband on Kimber, who took it off multiple times before I finally got a picture of her. Leila didn't help Kimber keep it on since she wasn't thrilled that Kimber also had a headband on in the first place and kept trying to take it...Leila is very protective of her girly stuff. Kohi only tackled Kimber once over a truck but Kimber took it like the tough girl she is. Kimber would have bitten him but that little chunk Kohi can actually run pretty fast. Ah the joys of cousins.

Wait, so Arielle's kids aren't cute? :) haha. Just kidding. Do we need to have a family home evening on how to put pictures on the blog? I can teach Cade or Cullen too...they've got fancy new school computers!

If this a guilt trip for me.... It's working. But in all fairness to ME, my camera's batteries dies about three months ago, so all my cutest kids ever pictures are old and out dated. (batteries are charging) AND... it's not that the rest of us are bad, but Mahana is just REALLY. Really good at this stuff. (thanks Mahana)

F.H.E. blogging 101... I'll make the treats!
