This year was a fun year to go to the pumpkin patch because it seemed like the first year that the boys were able to do a lot on their own and the older boys were able to help with the littles more than it was s necessity for Sam or I to be with them the whole time. This was one of the first moments that I was realizing that things were starting to feel "easier" and also the realization that we were going to be starting over very soon. Pregnant and with 4 boys at these kind of things always gets some attention. Or perhaps I was just feeling a little self conscious.
Whether in my imagination or not it is odd to have a more than 2 kids in Bend. It is pretty standard to have 2 and the ideal family is to have a boy and a girl. People have never been mean- they just comment.
I love this time of year. I have said it before so I don't have to go through all the reasons why yet again. I also love experiencing it all with my family. I love how each year my boys have grown and I can see more of who they are becoming and I still like them. I like being able to have conversations with them and actually share different thoughts, opinions, and feelings. It can be hard early on in motherhood because that aspect really isn't there and it difficult to see a time that it would happen. It does.
I sure do have some handsome boys.
