Well school is back in session and I have to admit I really wish I could only be a part-time teacher! I sure miss my 2 little kiddos during the day. I love my job, but I love my Henry & Ben more!! They are both adjusting well to me being back at work and being at Peggy's (the babysitter). Henry LOVES school and that is all he wants to talk about. He tells anyone who will listen that there are "2 Henry in my class." (Henry M. & Henry C.) Today while I was fixing dinner, G was outside hanging out with the kids. Henry was riding his bike up and down the driveway and Ben was sitting on G's lap, looking EXTRA SUPER cute and of couse, I had to take some pictures. Yes, I know I take WAY too many pictures of my kids, but I have always been a picture-taker. G thinks we have too many pictures in our house and I have to admit, we kind of have a lot. I have taken a few down, but there are still quite a few!
Tonight when I was running I was thinking about our life before having kids and man was that easy! I could basically do what I wanted, when I wanted, and only had to make sure the dog was fed and let outside a few times each day. There are times I wish I wasn't so busy, that I had time to sit down and finish the book that I started over 3 weeks ago, that I could pee without having Henry following me into the bathroom, asking to flush the toilet and trying to hand me an entire roll of toilet paper, that I could workout right after work, instead of the crack of dawn, or once the kids are in bed, that I could drive in the car without having to sing Old MacDonald Had a Farm or The Itsy Bitsy Spider, that I could hop on a plane and take a last minute trip with just me & G, that I could sleep in past 6:00am on a Saturday, or really just get one night where I go to bed at 10pm and get to sleep through until 6am. But I wouldn't trade my 2 beautiful, wonderful, sweet, handsome, smiling, healthy kids for ANYTHING in the world. I am SO lucky to be their mom and when I start wishing I could get more sleep or have just 10 minutes to myself, I stop and think of Henry's smile and Ben's giggles and my heart melts. I am totally, completely, 100% in love with the 3 best men in the entire world...my husband of almost 5 years, G, and our 2 sons, Henry & Ben.
