i am so blessed

i feel like i've been a bit of a whiner lately

and today i just kept thinking about how blessed i am

here are a few reasons why:

 eleanor is a high heel wearing pro who loves to pretend talk on my phone

 the girls had so much fun playing in this cardboard box house

they played restaurant tonight and it was the cutest

especially because hazel made the best menu

 olive noticed i was cleaning the house

and said, "yeah, our house is dirty"

and she helped me wash the windows

 these girls love to help in the kitchen

they helped michael make dinner

and i am grateful that he lets them help

because i'm not always so willing

 eleanor is just so cute

as of today she can almost sing all of "ring around the rosie"

and it is the most adorable thing ever

 noah nailed doing a ton of extra homework tonight

with the help of his dad

 eleanor snuck the last brownie that my sweet friend paige brought over

 hazel ate most of her english muffin pizza

we could've had left over minestrone from last night

but i knew the kids wouldn't eat it

and we've been trying to familiarize hazel with bread again since she banned it from her diet around age 2

so her eating anything like this is huge! she's doing really well lately

michael and noah were so cute wrestling

(olive didn't want to be left out either)

i'm so grateful noah has such an awesome dad

...

i also feel so blessed to have a body that is able to carry all these babies

and that i get to feel sweet little kicks from henry all day long

nothing could be better than being a mom to all these darling kids

they are my greatest blessings
