As we sat at Memaw Connie and Papa Eddie's on the 4th of July for our family picnic, Matthew was getting upset that he wasn't being asked to do things such as golf or play softball, the excuse for not asking him was "well you have 4 kids I wasn't sure you would be able to do it." And I believe it was his own brother who started this all.
All day long, whatever I asked Matt to do he said, "no, I have 4 kids you know" but that doesn't work when I needed his help in parenting one of those four kids! This was his first comment no matter what anyone said and it has stuck since.
So our expression (excuse) "I have 4 kids you know" was born and to this day it is used a lot and makes me laugh almost every time! I am sure this will continue to be our motto for the "6 Cools", we stole that from a family member too, but all that really means is that we are blessed 4 times over with a family larger than we could ever image having!

So the delivery company calls to says that they are delivering my dishwasher tomorrow, which I was told would be here today, and I throw out to this lady that I have to have my dishwasher today as I have 4 kids and making adjustments to our schedule and not having a dishwasher is very inconvenient! Turns out that lady is trying to deliver the beverage center for the basement and not in fact our dishwasher, which is still on track to deliver between the hours of 2 and 6 today!
Now I am laughing at this phrase coming out to a stranger, I have apologized to the lady who called and I am realizing that today I am having a very hard time with this going back to work thing!
I am one emotional mess with a whole lot going on but I can't stop being a mom and wife now I have 4 kids you know!
P.S. I wouldn't trade those 4 kids for the world, I love you all and feel lucky to be their mom!
Alex has Mallory and Whitney has Cale - or at least I think so!
