Weekend Fun

My long blog post must have touched a little a few people because on Saturday as I was bathing the children, I turned around from the bathtub and My husband was standing there.  I was beyond excited to see him.   We enjoyed our time together catching up and the kids couldn't get enough of their daddy.  

He of course it back out there working.  I will see him soon because 4th of July is coming (HOLIDAY!!) . Today I spent the day getting ready to take the kids on a mini vacation to somewhere where it's hot, water slides and a pool to lounge by all day.  A friend of mine is taking her two kids with us.  So Two Mamas, and FIVE KIDS.  Watch out here we come!! The little one is going to stay with Grandma so that I get a little more of a break. 

Monday's when daddy leaves are usually really hard for S.  I usually try to keep the Monday lite.  However, today I needed to run errands to get ready so I called in the sitter while I took the car to the shop to get the oil changed done, etc...  Then I picked everyone up and took the to our FAVORITE store TARGET ( I love TARGET) I think I could do a post alone on this subject.  S though does not love TARGET.  She was a MESS!! She was clapping her heart out (not a good sign), shaking the cart, yelling at me, J kept saying "Mom everyone is looking at us." My response "Oh well, let them look.  It is what it is, I am keeping calm and trying to keep her calm too."  That was one of the quickest Target trips ever.  The aisle of wasteful clothes, accessories, make-up was not looked at today.  This of course would please my husband. 

They played all day while I did some Guardianship paperwork, time to update it until the adoption is finalized.  I keep imaging that day in my head - Who to invite? What it is going to be like?  I can't wait to get the date.  I know that S and M are excited to have the same last name.  

Love is an amazing thing.  Many moms wonder when they have a second child - How will I love this one like my first?  You just do, there is so much love that is in us to give.  Parents that adopt wonder - Can I really love this child like my own biological child?  The ANSWER: YES!!! I am so blessed by each one of my little ones. I love them all and I still feel I have love to give.  

I can't wait for our vacation and some bonding time with my three older ones.  Board games, movies, food, and water. What more can you ask for?
