Little moments like that

Sunday night at my Dad's house Bradley was sitting by Noah, and Noah started grabbing at his tie. Bradley scooted himself around so that he was then facing Noah and began playing with him. Nate and I sat there just watching them- it was SO SWEET!!! He kept leaning in and putting his arms around Noah. SO CUTE!! After a few minutes Bradley pulled his tie off all cute and handed it to Noah and said, "it okay you suck on my tie". I just LOVE the kids playing with and loving each other.... just one of those moments.

Then last night it was Luke's turn- he was holding a balloon in a toy wrench and making noises and motions that he was eating the balloon and Noah just totally started cracking up!! He was laughing so hard he kept bending over to his feet. Luke was laughing pretty hard too- it really lightened the mood it was sweet. I think these moments are so precious.

This morning Kelly and Charity got together and made a list of bugs they were going to catch. They were being so sweet to each other and ran outside to check them all off. A few minutes later they both came in and quickly ran downstairs (I got a little curious, but just listened) and I heard Charity and Kelly asking Bradley to come out and help them to catch a grasshopper because he's "the BEST at catching grasshoppers!" And only a few seconds later they ALL came running up the stairs and out the back door (Luke followed). And then the cutest thing was when a looked out the window and saw them all RUNNING back to the house- and they were totally hauling butt back to the house! I wasn't sure if they were running for a pretend reason or a real reason, but as they each jumped in through the door- Charity and Kelly were first and then they stood there by the door cheering their brothers on and urging them inside- I found out that there was "A BEE, A BEE, A BEE!!! HURRY HURRY HURRY!!!!!" It was way cute. Just the thought of them all working together and helping each other out was a happy thought to me. This is one of those times that I am thankful I have the kids I have, and I realize that regardless of how "crazy" or "irresponsible" we are for having 5 kids under 6, I am SO BLESSED to have the family that I have and that we just wouldn't be complete without each one.
