The Last 24 Hours by the Numbers

Publisher's note: Pictures of baby A had to be removed due to CPS restrictions. Sorry. Because he's really cute. I can email if you want.
96--ounces of lasagna I made my family for dinner to last two nights
89--ounces of lasagna my family actually ate (need a new plan for tonight :( )
50--dollars exactly, the bill at Safeway. Couldn't have done it if I'd been trying!
22--dirty kitchen rags from all the cooking I did (see #s 10 and 8)
19--stairs Micah accurately counted on his way up to his nap
17--kids I need to plan for on Thanksgiving (plus 5 adults)
12--Laurels for whom I planned pie-making last night
11--lords a-leaping (actually 3 little lads a-stomping like Maori warriors, but this song is what inspired today's entry, and I needed to pay tribute)
10--scrambled eggs needed to feed 7 kids breakfast
9--reorganized cupboards (this brings me such joy!)
8--pies made (2 cherry, 2 chocolate, 1 apple, 1 triple berry, 1 coconut cream and 1 banana cream)
7--fantastic kids to light up my life and occupy my days
6--pm: time when I finally got a shower (in reality, it was 6:35, but that doesn't fit the pattern)
5--sacrament time quiet books made for families in our ward by #12
4--boogery nostrils (belonging to Hyrum and A)
3--monkeys eating bananas on the kitchen island
2--precious, silent, golden alone hours I get every afternoon while #3 all nap (it took some effort to accomplish this one!)
1--hott, patient husband who watched all 4 little kids during #12, including straightening up and baths! No ladies, he's taken!
0--cases of impetigo (hooray! I'm going to watch Hyrum one more day to be sure, but here's hoping!)
Hope your lives are all equally as exciting, fun- and service-filled, and wonderful!

  1. Thinking about all you do makes me tired. Ho hum, guess I'll go take a nap in my nice, quiet, lonesome house.

  4. Did Tucker leave that last comment? You are crazy busy lady! Pie making sounds like fun, who got to keep the pies? Need a donation spot? Did you get results from the DR. today? Kids any better? Any rashes spreading all over? Full of questions, as you can see...
