There are times when I find only Josh and I are cleaning up toys that don't belong to us.
At those moments I attempt to course correct, set the kitchen timer for ten minutes, and commence the rousing game of how many toys can we all collectively clean up before it beeps. Even the 21 month olds will copy the others and pick things up.
While four children create a lot of mess, they also give a whole lot more joy.
This Sunday morning Josh and I were able to sleep until seven because Sophia quietly brought both babies down from their cribs with Jason.
Sophia had turned on the fireplace and was reading out loud to herself.
Jason had poured himself a bowl of cereal and milk and had been feeding his two younger siblings.
While his unorthodox method resulted in a significant amount of cereal on the floor, we were very grateful for this start to our Sabbath.
