Crazy is good right?

Today was a crazy day for me... in the morning Wesley hurt Keller for messing up a lego construction he had been working on for a long time. After scolding Wesley for hurting Keller, Wesley announced that since I was so rude and terrible that he was running away. He said he would stay on the street forever. He thought he would either get hit by a car, or starve to death. Fortunately, just then I got a phone call, so I was occupied during all of his drama so I didn't respond in the way he wanted me to. Later I took the kids to the Summer movie, but because we couldn't find our passes we were super late. After only a few minutes Keller decided he didn't like the show, I also remembered that he didn't have a diaper on, so I was back and forth between the movie and the bathroom several times. During one bathroom trip my hair dipped into the toilet as I was trying to help Keller pull down his pants. Then Keller lost one of his shoes, and David refilled his drink with out paying and yelled out that I had told him he could (when I had really told him he could fill it with water). After the show I was carrying Keller who had only one shoe and David ran so far ahead and was almost hit by a car. A kind onlooker helped get him back to me. We then went to the park where our credit union was having their annual family picnic with games and food. After parking both cars (Derek met us there), we were told by a bitter Salon owner that we needed to move our cars or be towed. It was very close to closing time for them and it was obvious there were only a couple of customers there anyway, but Derek moved both cars while I got in an incredibly long line for dinner. We had scarcely eaten when David and I had to head to his soccer game. He was unable to claim his ice cream desert or do any of the activities I had been getting them excited about. Halfway through David's game Wesley came to the field with Keller so that he and Derek could go to his soccer game with Baby Adam which they had to be on time for since Derek is the coach. I then met Derek at the other field to watch Wesley's team, but spent most of my time at the nearby splash park where Keller and David ended up (Keller getting lost for a while which was another scare!) My really close friend who has 11 children told me that you should never make important decisions (about your family) on bad days. This is such Wisdom! There were moments today when I was sure there would never be another Jensen child born to our family. Now that we are home from our crazy day and the kids are in bed, I am realizing that there were so many sweet gems about today as well that just melted my heart like seeing David's little thumb pop up in pride when his team scored a goal, or seeing how crazy excited Keller got to be in the splash park even though it was getting cold by the time they got over there. I also loved watching Derek with his clipboard getting so excited about the plays Wesley's team mates made and hearing them call him "coach". I need to remember that even on the crazy days, life is wonderful and we are so blessed to have for amazing little guys in our life. How I cherish them....especially when they are asleep!
