Last night was a thunder storm so me and jug had all three kiddos in are bed. I woke up with Alex on my chest cuddled in my arms. He was terrified of the thunder juliet was a big girl she didn't cry but she slept with us anyway then Ali was snuggled with jug.the twins are 5 and Juliet is 6. I work at the diner with jug and it's a family business so we let the kiddos work if they want to. I like to wake up early let jug sleep and sit and watch the sun rise but lately alex has been wanting to sit with me. I snuck out of bed holding the sleeping cutie. I made a cup of coffee and grabbed a small blanket I sat on the porch in this swinging chair. Alex woke up and looked around. "Morning mommy "
