Motherhood. Simultaneously feeling underqualified and overqualified to do the same job. #momofboys #santaiwoulikeanap #andagoodfamilyphoto

He tells me "you're the beautifulest mom" and showers me with kisses and hugs all day. So maybe Grady can just be homeschooled. #diggingthisonlychildthing #chaosbeginsat3pm #momofboys

This year he started kinder. In 5 years he'll be carrying a wallet. In 10 years he'll be sharing a flip phone with his brothers cuz that's all we can afford. #momofboys #thistuitioniskillingus #butthoseuniformsaretodiefor

Oh where do we begin. Let's start with Cole saying "mom. A lot of people had the same shirt as me". And when the teacher asked the kinder class about some good rules Miles said "don't be rude" and Cole said "don't stick your butt in someone's face" and made the entire class laugh with the teacher. So left to right is class clown, mr. Know it all, and mr. I don't need friends I have fifty five brothers. Welcome to school life. Hope those kids are ready for you. #noDrewDidNotWearSlippersToSchool #GuessWhoCriedToday #atTheSchool #InFrontOfEveryone

I feel like Miles' gums and teeth got dry

I thought I was so smart trying to occupy them with Jamba Juice so I can navigate the Anniversary Sale. Til the watermelon made them all pee like 7 times. Each. Within an hour. Times 4. I walked away with nothing but a headache. #momofboys

During a stern conversation with Drew I said "What makes you think you can do whatever you want to people?" Drew: "because mom. I was born a superhero" #mycrazy #andmycrazy2.0withhim #nextversionofcrazy #bookends #butseriouslydrewistoomuch #bornasuperhero???? #donteven #halp

You don't love any kid less the more you have. Your heart grows bigger. So I've been told. But it's totally true. #momofboys #dogdaysofsummer

This was back in April when I tried to potty train Grady and it didn't work. And again in May and still no success. And this week he got it done in one day. #NOMOREDIAPERSEVER #saywhat???? #tabotime #goodbyediapergenie #momofboys #ireallyjustneededmoneyfortuition 😥
