little secrets revealed...

So we have a little secret, well not a secret for many of you, but kept it from my blog. For some reason I wasn't ready to face the reality of this yet, blogging it makes it very REAL! Can't word this just right, but we are expecting a surprise baby! And God loves Daniel just a litte bit more than I thought and is blessing him with a little sidekick...a baby brother! Two Girls and two boys, we are so excited! I am now 20 weeks, and can now talk about the horrid and terrible fall we had, wanted to blog about many times, but it was pretty pathetic. Dishes sat around for days, toys didn't get put away, the floor was being vacuumed by Daniels mouth and I was OK with that...the home went to the dark side all the while I slept...and the the toilet bowl was a frequent friend...yuck! I forget every pregnancy how dang tired you get the first few months, not that it has gone away, but man, 2 or 3 naps a day didn't cut it! This little blessing was a total and complete surprise, we are still scratching our heads...but God knows when these kids are suppose to come and we were just not prepared for it...yes it I thought Daniel officially made our home a circus, but we will be selling tickets starting April to see a crazy show!! The best show is going to be sacrament meetings on Sunday, too bad we can't charge for that one...excuse me while I panic for a second.....AHHHHHHH!! I am just excited to see the kids grow up together, they will have a lot of fun being so close.
I just have to thank my sweet little Annika that has grown up beyond belief these past few months, she went to 25 fits a day to none, and potty trained Olivia, gets her room clean and the kids dressed before I can even think about rolling out of bed...a direct answer to prayers! We were stumped months ago on how to deal with her energy and tears, then we consistently read scriptures with her everyday, before it was hit and miss, but she is reminding us every night to read...this is not supposed to butter up the Snow family, all I can say is that reading scriptures everyday with a child changes them!! So grateful!
Another secret to reveal is that I am a closet quilter...never posted about my little closet that i sew in, but I do and have just fallen back in love with it! Just finished this little gem, it turned out so darling...the process wasn't so pleasant...this pattern was terrible and awful! Wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I would do a ton of things different. Now working to make the girls twin quilts for Christmas, almost done, if only I didn't have to feed and wash children all day! I am not the best seamstress by any means, I have just found joy in something I haven't done in a long time...grant it I got a new machine that is WONDERFUL, but all the same it makes me happy!
Last secret that I want to spill, I cannot keep my children clean and I don't even care anymore! They are going to look like a lost children until they are teenagers...or longer! Annika is very clean, don't know where these little critters came from...
...one day at a time!
