Three kids, three and under!

As I sit home everyday, i find myself thinking that most moms are going through the same things i am. 
We are all....
-Changing multiple diapers a day, while potty training two others.
-Getting two kids down for a nap and keeping the other one quiet so he doesn't wake those sleeping
-Cleaning up a different array of toys from toys story, to rattles, to trucks.
-Breaking up fights between kids, who are fighting over a toy or sometimes nothing at all.
-Constantly hearing one child or all children crying for some reason
-Packing extra clothes, snacks, and sippy cups for every kid so you can go to the store.
-Constantly counting heads while your in public to make sure #1-3 are accounted for!
-When your husband asks what we have to eat you list off grilled cheese, Pb&j, or dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets.

In my mind every mom is doing the same things everyday and i am no different. We are all sleep deprived, needing adult conversation, and look forward to get dressed in nice clothes (meaning anything not stained and fits nicely after just having a baby) to go on a date that is way over due! Though every mom feels the same way, there is one difference between most moms and me..... i have three kids, three and under!! I know there are some that feel my struggles but as i go out of the house with all of them i am shocked to see peoples faces and there amazement when they realize how close they are all in age with no set of twins! I have to admit when i hear other women who are pregnant with there second and there first in just over a year i think to myself, wow she is crazy but then are quickly reminded with the noise in the back round, that i am the crazy one! I love my little family so much and honestly, i wouldnt change it but when i really think about it, i find myself agreeing that Brandon and i are a little crazy! Brandon took this picture during conference last week and she says that it truely represents our life right now... two boys wrestling with a newborn hoping they don't get any closer! To all you moms out there with three kids three and under, i know how you feel!!
