I have struggled with having a family of 5 kids - especially 5 boys and you have helped me over the past months realize what a blessing and a gift it will be to me and to them. God has a greater purpose than I can even imagine! theBreedveldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522892500917202495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-47598999312977889572014-08-29T19:48:13.208-07:002014-08-29T19:48:13.208-07:00I love your big, beautiful family.

Did they see the kids individually? Or just as a group. Silly me. Sharing rooms definitely doesn't quash their uniqueness at all! Nor does sharing everything! I wish I could loan some friends my house for the day so they could see what it's really like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16623350308197825002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-77496528985712458422014-08-28T15:50:20.549-07:002014-08-28T15:50:20.549-07:00Well, goodness.

First of all, bless George and all his sweetness, and Ben, who loves his brothers so.<br /><br />But thank you for saying "I'm done..." It's all such a waste of energy, isn't it? Worrying what other people think. And even when I'm ready to pull my hair out over sibling squabbles, I know that being together is hard, yes, but in those trials is sanctification. For them and for me.

Even though I only have 2 boys, I always want them to be friends with each other as much as with other people because a brother is always going to "be there."Kimhttp://day-with-kt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-89195625664960945192014-08-28T13:13:58.871-07:002014-08-28T13:13:58.871-07:00Susan, you've done it again!

I'm sure I've asked before but do you homeschool up until high school?<br /><br />We have a bedroom that you have to walk through another bedroom to get to (so it's not legal) and we are thinking about tearing down the walls and putting in two sets of bunk beds. Because the girls just want to be together. The three oldest are together now and sleeping better than ever (with the toddler bed on the floor).Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968478074259385397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-22624875203227908532014-08-28T12:04:14.667-07:002014-08-28T12:04:14.667-07:00I enjoy so very much when all five of my kids are ...I enjoy so very much when all five of my kids are playing a game together and laughing and having fun.
