Bath Time

So, I swore off giving my kids baths by myself, unless I am doing one at a time which is what I do with Easton in the mornings. But the other 3 I decided to to only when Jordan is home. My kids were in need of a bath, so I attempted it byself today since Jordan had classes tonight. I was finishing up feeding Easton with sweet crying little Ava at my side. I told my boys as soons as I was done I would give them a bubble bath. My boys went into the bathroom and I thought they had just gotten ahold of their bath toys, but when I went into the bathroom they had found the brand new tub of bubble bath tha tI had boughten especially big so I wouldn't run out since it is hard for me to get to the store, and dumped it ALL in the bathtub. I started loosing my cool, but caught myself and took pictures of there very big bubble bath and got a good laugh instead. The boys had a lot of fun splashing bubbles and water all over the bathroom and then while I was getting Ava all lotioned up and in her Pj's my boys got out by themselves covered in bubbles.

It gets stressful when I have all kids crying or 3 out of the 4. So I am trying, key word trying, to learn to keep my cool and choose my battles. In this instance I was glad I stopped myself, because A) bubble bath is replaceable B) my boys had fun and C) I got some pictures for the memories. When I get mad and yell at my kids it only makes them cry louder and makes nothing better. When I found out I was pregnant I have always said that this is the Lord trying to teach me patience because I am so far from haivng any!
