I love my kids

I love my kids. I am oftentimes reminded at the oddest times just exactly why I love them. Today we were out running errands, and Trevor was the sweetest boy. He is probably my most emotional, sensitive child. Today he was so helpful, and wanted to help me get everything done. Then later in the evening he came up to me and gave me a hug and kiss and said, "Mom, you're the best mom in the world. I love you so much." He went to Kent next and said, "Dad, you're a great dad. I love you so much." So sweet.
Justin is always so willing to help out. He gets his jobs done usually before I even wake up, he helps me get the kids ready when we need to go somewhere, he helps me feed them breakfast, and he's just an all-around great kid. He plays with his younger siblings' friends to make sure that they feel welcome. He's also currently begging me to have "at least 1 or 2 more kids." That's not going to happen, but it's so nice to know that he loves his brothers and sister enough that he would want even more of them!
Natalie... what can I say about my little drama queen? She is my constant shadow. She wants me to hold her all the time. She wants to run all of my errands with me. Recently she has become very aware of her appearance. She wants to make sure her hair is done, and wants me to let her wear makeup every day. She loves makeup so much, in fact, that she has begun to "borrow" my MAC lipstick, my body spray, lip glosses and makeup brushes. They always somehow end up in her room, but "(she) didn't put them there." I think we're going to have to get her some of her own makeup on her birthday.
Drew... so cute. He's upstairs right now tyring to get me to come upstairs to lie down with him. I had to stop doing that 2 years ago because otherwise he wouldn't go to bed. He's very upset that he's done with swimming lessons, and wants me to make phone calls right now, at almost 2 in the morning to sign him up again. Since I won't do that he's upset with me. But he's my little snuggle bug, and I am enjoying it for as long as I can.
