You may have too many arrows if you can no longer find your quiver...

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
~Psalms 127:3-5

Our quiver is over flowing. Arrows are scattered all about.

Your quiver may be too full when.....

-At any moment in the day, you could sweep up at least half a box of Cheerios or Cheez-its.

-You miss church seven Sundays in a row due to pediatric viruses.

-You've already wiped 3 different bottoms (none of which belong to you) and it's not even 9am.

-While wiping those bottoms you were also holding a four month old, fussing at the dog to quit barking, nodding to a child who is requesting cheetos for breakfast, and talking on the phone to your best friend.

-Your living room is always this messy, Christmas morning or not...

-You upload photos from your digital camera and find shots you didn't take...


-You're happy to find photos you didn't take, other wise you might not ever remember moments such as this....

-You take up an entire row at your daughter's school programs.

-Your child is dirtier after his bath than before, and you have no idea as to why.

-You've given up on cleaning off the original artwork that your two year old was more than happy to produce on every single wall in the house. Every. Single. One. Cleaning the walls was only providing a blank canvas for him to re-decorate anyway.
-Your four month old is not rolling over yet, probably due to lack of tummy time.... for his own safety.....

-Instead of arguing over which side of the family the children should go to, when naming a guardian to list on your Last Will and Testament, you both laugh trying to think of who might be willing to take them all.
-You never sit down too quickly, without looking to see who (or what) may be occupying the space.
We may have too many arrows. But then again, can one ever have too many??

This is an adorable post! Your Quiver doeth runneth over!

I saw your comment about the camera - its a Canon Rebel XSI. The only thing is that it doesn't shoot video, so we still bring along our little digital for that, but we love the pics that it takes. We lucked out and found one on Craigslist this guy was selling for a discount...still brand new! Hope that helps...

Happy Easter!

lol Rhodes just now started rolling. And my guess why it took so long is because we never put him down either! I used to put him down and then find Lillian standing on him! poor little guy!

I don't think you can have too many arrow! ;-)
