For the last few days I've been thinking about going through their clothes, packing away the really warm stuff, and bringing out the spring clothes- just organizing overall. So, this morning I tackled it. I tend to get really immersed it what I was doing- there I was, packing, folding, and sorting. The girls were playing quietly in their play room.... too quietly.... so I went out to check on them. I found them sitting sheepishly amidst lots of shiny candy wrappers.... they had eaten an entire bag of peanut butter cups (which was my v-day gift from my husband). When I found them Khloe looked up at me and said "Happy Valentines Day, Mommy!" Needless to say, a sugar high quickly followed, and naps were out of the question.
Then we went to visit my parents, and my mom gave them each a page of stickers. By the time we got home, the back windows and doors of my car were covered in colored smiley faces. It's days like these that make me glad I'm a mom. All I could do was laugh. I think to be a parent you HAVE to have a sense of humor. What good would it do if I had yelled when they ate a bag of candy, or lost my cool when they "decorated" my car?
All day Khloe has been trying to grasp the concept of Valentines day... this pretty much sums up my whole day...
"Happy Valentines Day, Santa!..... When am I getting my birthday present, Mommy?"
