Sunday Photo

*{I have a friend that takes a picture of her children every Sunday. I like the idea so much that I would like to try the same thing.}

Since spending a week with my children with not having to go to work. It is always an eye opening experience of how much I don't get to do with my children. I miss the time after school were we can veg out. I miss the end of the night hugs and kisses. Seeing Jersey run in from coming home from school. Watching them fall asleep in my lap. Making dinner with them. Hearing about there day. Reading a story to them. 

They are growing so much. I was noticing just the other day that Phoenix's pants and shorts are to short. When did they get so big? 

I feel like I'm the part-time parent. I have to remind myself of the decisions that I made that got to the "full-time" worker. I know it's not forever that I will be this worker bee but it's hard to sit back and see them get older. I tried to be a good mom the whole week and not nag about cleaning their rooms. I have to say by the end of the week I was tired of looking at the mess and tired of stepping on toys. When Mike is gone it makes love him even more for all the things that he does. How he does homework, makes dinner, reads stories, plays with the kids, gives hugs and kisses, picks up the house so that I don't have to and still waits up for me so that I can talk to him and see him for 5 minutes. I'm pretty lucky.
