First off, let me start by saying that this blog is dedicated to my mom and day today!!! :)
Well ,as parents we all need breaks in life from our children!! (i know I do, anyway) If you say you dont, then u are either lying, or I dont like you very much because you have the perfect kids!! lol. Anyway, my parents are constant in my childrens' lives and I feel soo blessed to have them. I have known friends or have just met people who dont have any grandparents for their lil ones, and I feel so sorry for them. I couldnt imagine not having my parents in my life to help with mine. I rely on my parents sooo much!! FOR EVERYTHING!! and then some.....
My father is a engineer who travels two weeks out of every month, (and the weekends that he is here, saturdays are their days) and he came back yesterday and we surprised him at the airport with all the kids. You wouldve thought that they hadnt seen him in 3 mos or longer!! lol. It was awesome!!! As soon as they saw him, they couldnt get to him fast enough, and almost knocked him down, screaming "POP POP" !!! Now, that is love right there!! ;) It was really sweet especially because I could see people around us oohhing and ahhing about it, and saying how sweet it was!!! I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So needless to say, this is the saturday that they have together. Lil man doesnt get to go yet, because as my father puts it " Im too damn old to chase four of them around". So one day during the week, he picks up lil man and takes him to dinner or the mall or something. So he doesnt feel left out. And pretty much whenever else he feels like taking my children, he does!! I dont have a say in that, lol.
And then when my dad is done taking them to the park or mall or lunch or all three sometimes, lol. He takes them back to the house so my mom can have arts and crafts with them. They love her just as much!! Painting with nene is like an art session!!! And dont even get me started on the computer, (or pooter as my daughter calls it) Puzzles and games and baby doll oh my!!! When u walk into their house, its like Toys R Us's wharehouse!!! But you gotta love them!!! Or as my husband always says "Hey, its less I have to buy"!! He is really just joking, but kinda serious, there isnt a toy that we "can" buy for them, its already been bought!!!
Like I said, I just feel extremely blessed to have my parents there, because without them all these years, I dont know how I wouldve made it!!!

ReplyDeleteWe moved back to Bloomington just to be near my husband's parents. The two years leading up to that with twin infants/babies were really tough!
