Love Yo Mama

These ladies right here are our incredible house moms that spend their days taking care of the 10 children we have at the orphanage + their own. And yes, they are incredible. I've always known that but today they had the day off to go into town and enjoy themselves. Relax. Take a break. {Just to remind them what that means exactly :) } Who took care of the kids you ask? That's right. This girl. 

Holy freakin' macaroni you guys. We had so much fun playing grocery store, cars and imagination games that I never really caught onto. But lemme tell ya, 11 kids all together at once was cah-razy at times. Lunch was made, delivered, and eaten -- nothing short of a miracle, toys flying in every direction, kids on the hammock, look at this, look at that, where is so-and-so, everyone suddenly needs to use the bathroom at the same time, wash your hands! whew! 

But you know what? It feels good to be needed and I was reminded again what a miracle it is that these kids are happy, healthy and loved. I really love them.

All this to say...give a big, huge, shout out to yo mamas today! They are superwomen. Seriously. And thank your dads because kids need dads. Moms need dads. 

I don't think I'll ever give birth to 11 kids but if I do, at least I'm practiced. 

Now off to eat dinner that somebody else made -- thankful!

Speaking of mom's...the soon to be mama over here is responsible for the new look up top here on this little blog. she did an awesome job -- thank you!
