All I can say today is there is a place for every mother… me, a mother of 2, its perfect for me.  My friend, Candice, a mother of soon to be 8, she is a fabulous mom.  There are all types of mothers out there and I am comfortable and still have some patience.  I have Lindsey’s kids this weekend and while I love them, being a mother of 4 small (small!) kids is quite a mental and emotional challenge.  If you could hear my home today, it sounded something like this, "eeeeeee, argh, noooooo, [cry], [scream], laugh, wahhhh, etc."  The NOISE just didn’t stop (the kids’ noise, that is).  Zoe is the perpetrator of it all.  She loves to bother the younger ones until they just can’t stand her another nanosecond. 

It is after weekends like this that my prayers include my friends with many ‘o kids. 

So, I have some recipes to report.  I have perfected them this weekend.  I usually don’t give out the best recipes but you may already know these:

Disaster in your house

1 6year old

1 3year old

1 2year old

1 18mo. old

mix them all up and let them play for 5 minutes and the disaster will be incredible!

Black bottom feet

1 6yr old

1 3yr old

1 2yr old

1 18mo. old

food of any type

let the first four ingredients simmer with the food.  After 5 minutes, walk around and then check your feet.  It is a PERFECT way to make black bottom feet!

NOISE

1 6yr old named Zoe (the most important ingredient)

1 3yr old (a cousin to the first ingredient)

1 2yr old (must be a brother of the first ingredient)

1 18mo. old (needs to be a sibling of the 2nd ingredient)

open you door, let all ingredients outside (or keep them in-it is the same)and you will have NOISE.  It is that easy.  No prep time.  Servings: enough for the neighborhood
