1/2 As Many Kids...

Yesterday, right after school, my mom took Joshie and Ryan down to Athens. Today is the annual Accounting golf outing that my parents have been taking the kids to since I think Kylie was 1 or 2. And John and I had gone to it before that.

So last night, I was able to come home from work to a quiet house! Kylie was already at gymnastics, and Colton was being a quiet angel :) I was able to talk to Miss G. about how the day went without being interrupted 500 times by little blondie (aka Ryan). When she left, I was able to feed Colton and watch what I wanted to watch on TV with any interruptions! After I was done, I was able to load him up and go and watch Kylie at gymnastics. He was so good in his carrier and even fell asleep, so I was able to give Kylie my full attention.

After gymnastics, we went home and waited for John to finish mowing. During that time I was able to do Kylie’s hair and work on her spelling with her. When John was done we loaded up the car (very easily with an almost 8 year-old and Colton already in his car seat!) and headed to dinner. Dinner was really easy and really fast! We were able to get dessert, come home and eat it, and send Kylie up to get herself ready for bed. I fed Colton and got him ready for bed and he fell asleep. John and I were able to peacefully sit on the couch (as opposed to crashing onto it from exhaustion) and watch a movie.

Now don’t get me wrong, I obviously love the boys very much, but last night was a glimpse at how easy our life would be if we just had two kids, and especially if they were spaced as far apart as Ky and Cojo.

That being said, I look forward to going home to a loud house today and little blondie yelling at me as he’s running to the door “Mommy, you’re home!”
