There were 7 in the bed and the little one said...

waaa,waaa!!!!
and the big one said, "Stop touching me"
and the middle one said, "He punched me!"
and the third one kicks me in the ribs,
and the second one knees "hubs" in the chest........

BUT

before the wrestling match begins in our bed on Sunday mornings, there are about 5 minutes of the most wonderful sweet snuggling bliss....with all 7 of us in the bed, cuddled up together, enjoying each other. A baby girl's head on my chest, 4 boys snuggled up next to and between the hubs and I. Laying there

.....in complete silence......

for about five minutes...

and these are five of my favorite minutes of the week...
no other day do we have the time.
every other day we are up out of bed early and going and moving...like an army of ants.

but on Sunday's, before it's time to get up and ready for church, we get 5 of the sweetest minutes of my week....and it makes me wonder why we don't take the time to slow down more often.....

and then somebody elbows me in the nose.
