Ear Plugs (Gabrielle)
It is really loud around here. Justice will be crying about the horrible things we’re doing to him like changing his diaper. Noah will be crying because he just discovered the world doesn’t revolve around him. The two crys sort of wrap around each other and each makes the other louder. One of the older children will want to tell me something and so he will just shout over the wails and another child wants to tell Crystal something so that child shouts over the wails and the shouting. Arianna has been known to cup her hands around her mouth to ask me a question about breakfast. Yep, it’s really loud around here. Crystal asked me what I want for Christmas and my first thought was “Ear plugs.” I’m not sure I was completely joking.
There was a time when I actually did wear earplugs to maintain my sanity. And that was when I had only one child!
BTW, I think it is very cool that you have a Princess Bride quote now on your blog. You don’t run across those too often these days. Very sweet.
