They are here. They are really really here!!!

I'm working on my mindset. I'm trying not to rush the kids to grow up - even though some things will be a lot easier when they do. The past couple of days I have made more of an effort to relax and try to just play with the boys and get to know them better. So rewarding. They are incredibly sweet and smart and funny. Dylan is really into hugging. If he gets mad and hits his brother and I tell him 'no' and scold him, he turns around and gives the offended brother a gentle hug. And he often crawls up on the couch to hug Caden. He puts his arms around him and lays his head on his chest. It is SO cute!! The last few days we've said "go to bed" to the boys and they just turn around and head off into their beds. Liam running all dainty and with his hands up in the air. Today, Justin was outside working on something in the front yard and Dylan and Liam were leaning over the back of our couch, hollering out the open front door "DAD - DEE". Oh, my goodness, melt your heart. Caden has a couple of days of swimming lessons left. He's liking it but wishes that he could just go swimming 'for fun not lessons'.

So, back to my mindset. I'm trying to think along the lines of "Is perfection worth the price you are paying?". Obviously I know it isn't. I'm stressed and exhausted way too much of the time. I think too much about my to do list and I'm just tired of it. It's gotten very very old. I want to have more fun and spend more time enjoying my sweet little boys. Summer seems like a good time to let my house go to pot and get out for some ice cream :)
