Where do I find the energy???

I always wonder where Payton and Abriee get the energy to run all day long.. I have no idea where they get it. Now I am wondering where I find the energy to keep up with them and all of our projects that we do around here.. Last weekend we laid carpet in Payton's room. We thought it would take us 3 or 4 hours, but it took us all day. Go figure for some inexperienced carpet layers!!! Okay really Ray did all the hard work as I chased the kids around and done the cleaning.. As of now we are trying to get the living room and dinning room ready for some painting so we can tear carpet up and lay hardwood floor in the dinning room and lay carpet in the living room.. That was going to be this weekends project, but turns out Ray has to work tomorrow. Not that that has helped in giving us a break...

My family has decided that they want to have a Fathers Day cookout and they have decided to have it at our house.. Go figure we are the only one that has a house!!! So instead of doing our home improvement projects I get to clean my house and and cook for a BBQ.. Today I have been trying to get ahead of the game a little and so when Payton and Abriee went down for a nap I did some lawn mowing.. 1/4 acre lot is a LOT to mow.. Then I came in and cleaned the house since I had been neglecting that for the last 2 days.. Amazing how much I can get dome with the kids asleep only for them to wake up and mess it all up!!

The joys of motherhood and children. I can't believe that we are adding one more the mad house here!! What were we ever thinking?!!!
