First post a picture of you with your children

This is not the most recent picture I have of myself with the fam, but there are only a few to choose from since I am normally the one behind the camera!!

1. How many children do you have?
We have 6 all together!

2. What are their ages?
18, 16, 14, 10, 6, and 3

3. What time do you start your day?
My alarm is set for 5:30. There are mornings that I snooze a few times though!!

4. What do you eat for breakfast?
COFFEE. My kids eat cereal, toast, bagels, or cream of wheat on school mornings. On the weekends we usually have eggs, bacon/sausage, flapjacks (daddy's specialty), pancakes or french toast.

5. Do they watch TV?
Yes. The little muffins watch Curious George EVERY morning while getting ready. Though they dont get much done with their eyes glued to the TV. And then in the afternoon/evening they watch a lil' bit.

6. What are their favorite activities?
Playing outside-Jumping on the trampoline, riding their Powerwheels/bikes, 'training' the dogs (yes, they play dog trainers, it is WAY funny). And Muffin #5 plays with our chickens like they are baby dolls. Playing inside-playing 'house' (and the two littles call it playing Jon & Kate Plus 8!!) and playing school.

7. Do you get a break during the day for some you time?
When I put the kids to bed I have sometime to myself. But I am usually so tired that I can't keep my eyes open too much longer.....hence no blogging these days.

8. How do you end your day?
All the kids have a shower, then we read, and pray! And I try to read/blog if I have any energy.

9. What is your best parenting advice or tip?
Consistent parenting. Love, praise, and consequences. Just like the Lord! Now excuse me while I go repent. I feel like the only thing I've been doing consistently is yelling! Ugh.
