What exactly is "Crazy"?

I've been asked a lot lately how it is having three "little ones" and I am always quick to answer that it is "CRAZY" , "WILD" or something of that sort. I DO realize that MANY people before me have had three children, or more, and manage just fine but maybe I am just a slow learner because I am STILL trying to figure this whole thing out. And just when I think I've finally got it... I realized that I just don't. For example... some of the fun things I got to do this week!
1. Figure out how to get Phearson out of the bathroom after he locked himself IN 10 minutes before Porter had to be to preschool.
2. Clean poo poo out of a full bathtub of water after Phearson relieved himself while taking a bath
3. Prying a curious little toddler's hand out of the lint trap after... yes you guessed it... PHEARSON got his hand stuck and became hysterically scared he would never get it out
4. Washing the blankets from my bed 2 days in a row after the dog threw up on them 2 nights in a row
5. Checking on PHEARSON every 5 minutes since he has figured out how to take his pants and his DIAPER off all by himself but refuses to use the potty. (Shari, do you have any of that duct tape left?)
6. Changing Tav's outfit ever time he eats because he barfs all over himself
7. Changing my outfit ever time Tav eats because he usually barfs all over me too
8. Washing and folding the same load of laundry twice since the boys decided to throw the freshly washed and folded clothes at each other and all over the floor the minute I stepped out of the room to answer the phone (and the dog, who is shedding, of course cuddled right up in them)
You see... just your usual fun right! Really what I am getting at is, for those of you out there who have to associate with me... please just bear with me! If I seem lost, spacey, vacant, etc. It is because I probably AM! Give me a minute and I should snap to!
And just for the record... I wouldn't trade this CRAZY life for anything else.

Crazy has now become MY normal!!

There's nothing wrong with a little craziness! Plus they are all boys so I guess that's pretty normal! They are all so dang cute though!

Sounds like you are keeping busy! Some day I will be in the midst of that and going crazy and you will be able to tell me that I will make it through! We have just begun this phase of life. Last week I caught Lincoln in the bathroom with the toilet paper completely unraveled and him standing at the toilet with water everywhere! Sick! And I think you have it right when you say that even though it's crazy, you wouldn't trade it for anything. Makes life exciting! I love your pictures too!

It mellows out a bit.....when the youngest turns 4!!! I can totally relate.....I never knew how much poo I could tolerate. The bathtub thing happened to us....more then once. When I had 3 already washed kid in the tub!!

What a cute and CRAZY post! I love those little buddies. I'm serious about taking Phearson (or Porter or Tav) off you hands any time. They are more than welcome to come to my house any day!

You are such a fun Mom. Luckily you are blessed with patience. It's obvious how much fun you are having with your awesome boys!

I love this post and you will too in 10 years when you wish they were this little again. Your kids are darling and you and Ryan are awesome parents. They are lucky to have you. Life isn't fun if you don't have some crazy mixed in it.
ENJOY IT!

I am seriously dying at how similar our lives sound! Our lint trap story this week, however, is that Kaden shoved a game card down it and it got trapped in the motor and the dryer was making such an awful noise I didn't dare use it! Mike had to tear the dryer apart!Of course, he blamed it on his brother though! RIGHT!
