5 things I love about Till:
he plays so well and enjoys TO
he tries to practice patience with OJ
he asks to hold Evie
he holds the door open for me when I get home from work
he truly makes an effort to curb his frustrations and learn
5 things I love about TO:
he tells me he loves me TOOOOO much
he asks to cuddle at bedtime
he gets disappointed in friends who tease other children
he is all heart when he plays any sport
he loves to share and be sure that treats are equal among his brothers
5 things I love about OJ:
he comes searching for me every morning
he asks me to sing in the car to school
he tackles TO and Till and is not afraid
he still gets excited when he potties on the toilet
all he needs is food to feel better
5 things I love about EJ:
she grins the biggest at 5am, just me and her
she giggles when I kiss her belly
she loves listening to her brothers talk to her
she loves getting her hair brushed
she looks super cute in pigtails
5 things I love about Hubs:
he dances and sings around the house
he laughs, loudly
he sacrifices daily so that we may meet the demands of the children
he needs alone time and takes it
he gets squirmy at the thought of Evie's "girly" parts

Happy 33! You are only 8 months or so older than me.
I can't handle that Beatles birthday song. Ugh. I'll take that used up, worn-out Happy Birthday song over the Beatles one. I think I am just over Paul McCartney.
I'm new to your blog...Happy Birthday! After reading the other comments I feel like I'm intruding on a Family/ Friend party...well I guess you can always kick me out..LOL
Sew Super Sweet mentioned it was your B-day so I just wanted to participate in the fun!
Read why you have the name...you sound very sensitive to others feelings, meaning your step son and his mom...good for you!
I am your newest Follower, hope you can stop by for a visit!
Thanks, Becky Jane
Raising kids can be a lot like weeding the rose bed...well worth it, but...OUCH!
