the four reasons i love this day!

Photobucket


Let me start at the end of the day. We were driving home from a picnic in the park with my family when Kelly asked "what was the best part of your day?" How do you choose the best part when you get a whole day of special attention? I said my favorite part happened the day before. Sam could NOT wait any longer to give me his special present from school so that started the kids on a present giving frenzy! I love the homemade gifts more than anything bought, more than any "time out" for me. I collect it all and keep it in a place in my closet. I CHERISH these items more than anything! So this was my favorite part, sitting on my bed with all four kids, unwrapping one sweet thing after another! Today Kelly made me feel very loved and appreciated as he always does but with an added gift of making homemade waffles! He got up at 6:30! They were amazing! I got something very unique from Bailey. As I walked into the kitchen and saw my fancy place with presents, the one that caught my eye was the Monchichi! Bailey knew that one of the most special gifts I ever got as a child was a Monchichi so since they made a come back, she bought one for me!!!! How CUTE! I love being a mom! I have really bad days and it is extremely hard and frustrating and overwhelming at times but who can think about that today? I was born to be this woman! This is who I am! And I am very, very full. My cup runneth over!

Monchichi Monchici--oh so soft and cuddly, la la la! Sounds like you had a wonderful day. It's days like that that help us get through the not-so-good days. I'm thinking of you!!

You are one of the best moms I know. And I love your kids. I am glad you had a great day. B is dying to play with Jenna. She cried the other day because I would not let her come down with the boys.
