hi all! how are you on this lovely valentine monday? corey and i just got home from a much needed weekend away in chicago, last night. it was fun, relaxing, fun, lovely and did i mention fun? it was nice to get away and remember why i married my awesome hubby. it's hard sometimes with kids, work, and the daily stresses of life to remember that corey really is my best friend, not just our kids daddy and that guy i live with :). i love him.
today has already been pretty challenging to say the least with the kiddies. they spent the weekend with my parents. it is very clear to me that the behavior expected from gah-gah and papa, is very different from what corey and i expect. its like they totally forgot how to listen, that i am in charge and how to behave in public. i guess that is the price you pay. oh, and by the way it was soooo worth it, even if we have a week of extra timeouts and tantrums.
corey and i have been debating the pros and cons of adding another little to our family. it is hard. i have this feeling that our family just isn't complete and the idea of a newborn in the house literally turns me into goo (i love newborns). then i have hard days like today and i think maybe a third isn't right for our family. i know we will never regret having more babies but i know i will regret not giving gracie and noah all love and attention they deserve. i think maybe since i came from a family of seven, two kids just seems like cheating. maybe if i was from a family of 2 or 3, 2 kids would be normal to me? i don't know. maybe i will never know and maybe that feeling of wanting more kids never really goes away? corey and i have been so blessed with these perfect beautiful children maybe we shouldn't press our luck? maybe we should just get a dog ?
anyway i have laundry to do and diapers to change so this is it for now. we are having a low key valentines because this past weekend was pretty exciting. homemade chicken and dumplings with the kids is as romantic as it's going to get tonight. it's ok though this way i get to celebrate with all my valentines.
happy (valentines) monday!
