At the Store, In the Fields

I often hear "Oh, you must keep really BUSY!" at the grocery store... They see the cart, the kids and they MUST make the comment:)Of course I usually try to say something sweet and then attempt to remember what I was supposed to be picking up next amidst the kid-antics!!

But the other day at the grocery store, as I was pushing one of those HORRIBLE kiddie karts (they talked me into it and I fell for it!!), I stepped back from the scene and was just in awe that those crazy, loud kids crawling all over the kiddie kart were MY KIDS!!! AHHHHH:) And I understood why I get the "oh you must stay really BUSY" comment so much:)

I had to snap a pic (out in the parking lot)...
one day I'll laugh...
one day!!*

Love Chris crawling out the front.
Anna holding some random box.
And Nate who has LOST his pants:)

On this outing I had planned the quick grocery stop
and then to the berry patch.
Being outside seems to ease the BUSYness feeling.... sometimes;)

Ok, 3 out of 4 isn't too bad;)

Out in the field they got to work;)
Anna picking...

Nate eating... didn't see where he got his???

Chris eating, too!

Hmmmm, and Lydia??
She needed to go to the bathroom :/
Yep,told me in the middle of the field & hadn't even picked a berry yet!!

Oh yes!! We stay BUSY...

But it's good;) They have taught me soo much about serving, humility, patience, gratitude, forgiveness, patience, love, laughter, and being a child.

I"m thankful God has allowed me to be BUSY being their "MOMMMY!!!"
