Funny funny funny

zander cracks me up. we finally had the conversation about where jade's penis is. i was changing her yesterday and he said, where's her penis? i said, girls don't have penis'. just boys. zander insisted she did have a penis. 'you must have broken it off mom'. yes, sweetheart, that was what i did...seriously, where does he come up with this? poor little thing.
so being a mom is very rewarding. i love my children, really i do. but man, it's EXHAUSTING! three is about to dang near kill me. but i am getting super productive while zander is at preschool. i'm finally getting done all the junk i've needed to do around the house for forever! but by 8 pm i'm about to fall over. i swear three is just ridiculous amounts of work. at night i pray that i won't lose my temper, won't lose my mind, and won't break down and cry. fixing dinner and managing all three kids is just tons of fun. jade is becoming more and more awake though so that is fun, but her not so fun time is often during that dinner prep. and the boys, well, they insist upon getting into trouble when i'm cooking. fighting, tearing up the house, etc.
and then there was last night....yesterday i got a ton done in the morning and was feeling proud of myself, but that evening i was pooped. but jade started crying around 7 and proceeded to cry during the boys bathtime. then ben tells me the water wont' turn off because he turned the handle too much and something broke. so the bath is pouring water, jade is screaming, and the boys are freaking out cause we're making them get out of the bath before they're 'ready'. good times. finally we got to a point where ben could turn the water off outside but then we were without water the rest of the night. this morning ben turned the water on while we took quick baths, and then back to no water again. luckily we had lots of bottled water! then the plumber came....814 dollars. someone pinch me. and he has to come back tomorrow to fix it. ahh...good times again. oh and he had to go through jade's closet wall. no naps in there tomorrow!
ok, novel over!

That is hilarious that the boys thought you broke Jade! I am keeping you in my prayers as your days just sounds crazy. :)
