5 Kidless Days - Day 5

THEY'RE ALMOST HERE!!! They should arrive in about 1/2 an hour...I can't wait to see my babies...I've missed them! Don't get me wrong...I've enjoyed my "time off" & we got alot done, but I'm ready to go back to "mommy mode".

I'm going to introduce a concept that I'm "stealing" from a friend. I'm going to start a weekly list called the Friday Five. This week's will be 5 reasons I love my kids so much.

1) They make me laugh. Sam because she's so chatty. Sometimes she comes home & repeats things she's heard at school...the things she comes up with...TOO FUNNY! David makes me laugh because he tries to be so serious sometimes, but he's too sweet to be mad at anyone. His "angry face" is definitly "something to behold".

2) They're always learning...always asking questions. They don't just want to know what things are, but HOW & WHY they work the way they do. I love that they're so hungry for knowledge.

3) They're the most loving kids around. David LOVES to cuddle...we OFTEN enjoy a silly "kissing war" while he's snuggled up on my lap. Sam tells me about 20 times a day, "Mommy...I love you". I will NEVER tire of hearing that.

4) They aim to please. They're always ready to help with anything that needs doing. VERY rarely do I have to ask them more than once to help...and even then, it's probably because they're too into their movie or game...can we say ZONED! LOL!

5) Simply because they're mine. They are gifts from God given to me in trust. I love them more than I could EVER have imagined. And, here's the miracle...they love me back...completly & without fail. What more could a mommy ask for!
