The life of a mother. It just took an hour and a half to get two kids to bed. What makes them scared some nights and perfectly normal another? Why do they have to throw a tantrum when you leave the playground, as people watch you carry them out kicking and screaming? Why do they always assume that when it's a friend's birthday it automatically means they get a present for themselves also? And as you say no you once again get to carry them out kicking and screaming, while others watch wondering what you could have done to make someone so little so mad! Then to realize it's all in a day's work! You think that after this many years the manual would be written and you would know your kids, but it is always changing just like fashion. I hope to look back and laugh someday, but for today I'm just glad they are almost asleep.
Some of you know and some of you don't, that we just finished our first round of fertility drugs. In a little less than a week we will find out if it worked or not. Some days I think we are crazy for wanting more. Two is all we can handle most of the time. Sometimes they are so sweet though and you wonder why you don't have any more. They can be the most rewarding thing or most difficult thing in your life.
Braxton and Cole I love you. When your kids are like this someday I will just laugh at you and tell them thank-you for giving back!

Yes, I hear you! Sorry about your crazy day, but you're right these are also precious and will be missed some day. My mother-in-law is taking Russell grocery shopping right now and I wonder if she knew what she was getting into....and then I realize she does and that is why she wants to!
Oh, best luck this next week. Our fingers are crossed...twice!
Love you!
