Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh!

Having three kids can sometimes lead to stressful situations. At times I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I am trying to learn to choose laughter! There are many moments where kids just make it easier. I was watching two of my friend's boys today which is often less stressful than just having your own kids because they play so well together. Things had been going really well and all the kids were playing out in the backyard when I suddenly realized the time and that we all had to hurry and eat to get Levi to soccer on time. I rushed to make sandwiches while Izzy-bell was screaming to eat and rush to open the back door and yell out to the kids to come eat. What do I find when I open the door? One of the boys I'm watching is standing on the stool to get up to the trampoline with his pants and underwear down to his knees, taking a pee in my backyard. Then his brother informs me that he has lost a shoe up on our roof all the while Izzy is screaming to eat and Levi and Lilly are also trying to tell me about the game they just played. I have no other choice but to laugh for if I don't find the humor I will begin to cry at the stress. If laughter is truly the best medicine, small children are full of healing powers!!!
