Given

It's a given:

• that every morning my son will pull a cup of liquid (water, milk, and my favorite; koolaid) on top of his head while trying to get a drink.
• that 24% of all the yogurt consumed in our house is consumed by our living room carpet.
• that every time Cooper finds a crayon, I find a new little "sketch" adorning a non-paper surface.
• that my "office" trashcan will spend the majority of the day on top of my desk, so I can avoid spending the majority of my day picking up rubbish off my floor.
• that at least once a week, Cooper will spend the wee hours of the morning sleep walking.
• that the day I mop my kitchen floor, my husband will walk across it with muddy feet, or one of my children will spill their milk at lunch, or I will drop something extremely messy while making dinner...
• that every time Kami sees a puppy or a kitty, she will ask for one.
• that if I ask my children to pick up their messes, there is a 50/50 chance of a meltdown
• that the second I finish cleaning a room, my children will come running with the intent purpose of trashing it.
• that baby will be sat on at least once a day.
• that since the baby has learned the art of the fake cry, he will employ it 3 times out of 10
• that if you stop by our house we'll probably look like this:

{yep, everyone is in their jammies, no one has their hair combed or their face washed, and those who should most definitely be wearing makeup - are most definitely not. and it's 10:30... or at least it was when I took this picture yesterday.}

And, as you might have guessed, it is also a given that we wouldn't have it any other way.
