I just needed to take a minute tonight to record the fact that I had a GREAT day with my kids.  I feel like I probably complain too much sometimes.  But today my kids and I had a wonderful time together and it reminded me of how grateful I am for them.  First, I attended a meeting to discuss Girls Camp for next year that went two hours and Samuel was a dream – he just hung out.  And then this evening I had a lot of work to do for Gourmet Club.  Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to the errands I had to run tonight – especially since I would have all three boys in tow.  But we made a Target run, ate dinner at Wendy's, and then spent an hour and a half at the grocery store (and we went past bedtime).  And can I just tell you – they were angels!  The big boys made sculptures out of the twisty ties to entertain themselves, and Samuel was content as long as I kept handing him things to hold.  I praised them up and down for the good behavior, and they took pleasure in it and rewarded me back with continued patience and long-suffering.  Such a little thing, but I am humbled and grateful to be there mom.  I am not always a barrel of patience, let me tell you.  But tonight I feel content and satisfied in my role as Jacob, Caleb, and Samuel's mom.
