Monday Sucks!

So my birthday was Sat and Mother's Day was yesterday so I got to just veg out and relax for most of the weekend. (Sooooo nice!) After plenty of time watching tv, knitting and reading while someone else took care of kids for 2 days, the reality of Monday and work and kids and housework, etc.... has been like a slap in the face. Would be nice if both kids could sleep at the same time but I guess that's a bit too much to ask. Just 3 1/2 more hrs until reinforcements arrive. :)

Despite having a tough transition back to Monday, I just have to reflect back and say how much I love my little family. This is the first year, and first event/holiday Collin has ever selected a gift himself so it's a pretty big thing. For 2+ weeks Collin has said that for Mother's Day he wanted to get white toothbrushes and to make choc chip cookies for me. I have no idea where he came up w/either idea but he told both me and Jared repeatedly that this is what he wanted to do. (Clearly, he doesn't understand the concept of surprise gifts) He picked out 2 white toothbrushes and wanted to make cookies w/daddy b/c it was a present for me. He also picked out my bday and Mother's Day cards. They were both very sweet and pretty and pink b/c he knows that's my fav color. I do so love my little man. I just wish I'd taken pics of him and Jared making cookies. :)

So, remembering that made me feel a little better. Wonder how long that will last after nap time is over...?
