well God bless you! great idea for a TT. thanks for stopping by my blog too! take care and God bless you, again....heheehehehehe
Quick, filling meal? Seriously? You rock! I won't tell my kids that such a thing is possible. ;)
That sounds mighty stressful! But what a good mom!
What a wonder way to make a hectic situation look glorious. I had 2 in sports and I was running around ragged:) Happy TT and thanks for stopping by.
Yikes! You must be a very organized mommy!
All that is so true... especially the memories.
Wow! You must be very busy! I have a hard time getting one child to soccer practice!
I am always in awe of parents who have multiple kids in multiple sports. I have trouble shuttling one kid to her things!
I don't know how you do it. I get overwhelmed keeping track of activities for 2.
Way to go mom, I've been there I know what your going through, only I have three not 6!
