Sweet kids

I have days where i want to rip my hair out, scream and shout and sometimes slap my mouthy children. Don't we all?? At night i go and watch them sleep for a bit to regroup and get ready for the next day. I think it's important to write this down so in the years to come i don't read my blog books and think, "o what wonderful times, i never got mad at my kids, they were perfect". They aren't. And neither am I. They are wonderful at times, but not without plenty of hard times and naughtyness (not a word) in between.
The key is to get back up an try and try again, to keep teaching them, every time i get knocked down. (which is at least once a day) Roll with the punches, dance in the rain, you know the drill.. Anyways, the reason for my post... Just when i think they just aren't getting it, they are so rude and disrespectful, they are naughty, etc etc they pull something out that makes me forget all the bad and focus on the good. Yesterday they each had one.
When we got home from church, Kurt asked Jerzi what she learned in class and she just pointed to her belly, he said "did you learn about your bones?" and she said, in just one word, "Spirit" We were both amazed that she listened and learned at church, sometimes i wonder.
At bedtime Koy said the prayer and in his prayer, which really wasn't very long, he blessed that "Jerz will feel better and her skin won't itch and bug her" How sweet is that? I wonder ALOT if he even likes her because he torments her all day long. But that assured me that he does love her. :)
We have very good, tender-hearted, sweet kids. They are just kids and have their moments but we all do. I love to see them shine, which they do more often than not. And of course at this moment, Libbi is perfect! Although she was squirming the other day while i was changing her and i said "Libbi hold still!!" and Jerzi says "Mom, you can't scream at her, she's just a baby!" Thanks Jerz for the reminder! (although i wasn't really screaming, just a frustrated tone)
And on a side note, they go to bed sooo good! Last night we put them to bed at 7:15! Most nights it's 8:00 and they really go to bed, and stay there. They are awesome at that, which is great, it gives me time to relax before my bedtime. Kurt's usually only about a half hour behind them :)
Sorry for the boring post, it's more for my recollection in the future, but thanks for reading if you really did!!
