Howertons: say what?!

It has only taken me 9 1/2 months - but I can now say with complete confidence :
I have Four kids and I can handle it!

I'm not going insane, I don't need to take as many breaks, and I enjoy every day.
With all of them.

We have moments when I would like to send them each on a play date, but for the most part I really enjoy each of them and all of them together.

Four kids can be very overwhelming and intimidating. Even more so the older they get, the smarter they get. You gotta be at the top of your game and then some.

I finally get it!
Like a rock hitting me over the head.
It's not perfect, but I am satisfied and I am my biggest critic.
