Life with Three Kids

For three months now we have been a family of five. Life with three kids can be a little more crazy (at least for me). Tonight, for example, we took the kids to Olive Garden because they love to eat there and we haven't been in a few months. All was okay until Josh decided he was tired and hungry and then Andrea decided she wanted me to hold her too. To make things a little more interesting, Sammy decided she wanted to hang on my shoulder too!! Lucky me! At least Jeff got to eat his meal in peace. I don't think we will be venturing to any sit down restaurant as a family any time soon! Andrea has also really started to act like a two-year-old. She is lots more defiant and physical. She has started hitting to try to get her way which is really hard. I really want my sweet little Andrea back! I guess I should be happy with 50%...she is still little!! Bottom line is that life with three kids is harder, more hectic, and a lot harder to meet all three kids needs at the same time. However, I would not trade it for anything. I love my kids and think the world of them!! I know that as they get older things will get a little easier...I just have to survive day by day for now. :)
