Warms my heart!

Do you ever have a moment that makes you smile?  I had one tonight.  Having 5 girls, I hear, "mom, mom, mom, mom," about a million times a day. I try to go with it, because I've been reminded someday the house will be so quiet that I will wish to hear it again.  Bedtime is in shifts at the Koeman's. Many ages = many bedtimes.  The twins are first, and there is typically some whining, wanting help, yada yada.  The hair was a particular nusense tonight. Macy's hair was in a bun, because it was grandparents day and she wanted to look nice.  But that led to many bobby pins, clips etc. I was dishing out ice cream and Steve said, "come here Macy."  As he proceeds to go through her hair, pulling out bobby pins, hair accessories and brushing her hair.  It made me smile.
I think to all my poor husband endures.  When we got married, if anyone said, "you'll have 5 girls," we would have laughed and laughed and laughed.   I never would have imagined how amazing my husband is.  He can put a great outfit together on Sunday morning and make sure they girls have matching shoes.  He can also, make sure they have junky clothes on and has them in the pig coops to do chores.  He brings well rounded to the family. 
Tonight he is playing poker (kind of a must in a house full of women) and tomorrow, Lord willing, harvest will finally start.  Happy Harvest to all the farmers and farming families!!!   Stay healthy and stay safe!

Love this! Is there a way to post a pic of the harvest. My kids LOVE your fall harvest pictures! They are wannabe farmers for sure while we live in subdivision land in Zeeland.
