My opportunity to think pink

My friend Stephanie over at A Creative Fox decided to give me a little time to think pink.

Her husband planned a weekend BY THEMSELVES (unheard of for parents of small children) and she let me watch her two precious little girls!

My boys love them and once they came to our house, thought they should stay forever.

I tried to explain that we did need to give them back.

My oldest is still not sure why.

Thank you Stephanie for letting me peek into the world of pink.

Some of these pics are from the week before when I watched them for a few hours.

I like to think of it as a warm up for the next weekend…

Is there anything better then a friend pushing you on a swing?

Yep, capturing it on the camera!

At the end of the weekend I was convinced I could not handle four kids right now.

I forgot to eat and did not care.

Four meals to prepare.

Four bedtimes.

Four naptimes.

Four coats to be put on and four shoes (eight shoes! I did not let them all run around with one shoe on!).

Then this one decided to pull out all the stops on the last day…

And just like that, I want a little girl again.

I think my husband might have whiplash from how often I change my mind…

Someday’s you just need to have breakfast on the couch while watching a movie.

Because this mom was feeling lazy and this little man was not feeling well.

Most of the time when this happens it is only because of my laziness.

And maybe a little bit of my inner child coming out.

I always wanted to eat breakfast while watching cartoons.

It just did not happen very often.

This is all your fault mom.

If only you had let me eat all my meals as a child in front of the tv.

I am sure the scars will heal one day.

My oldest boy comes into the kitchen and says, “mom, you call me if you fall in a crack and I will save you!”

Me, “I will be sure and do that”

Falling into cracks in my kitchen has always been a problem for me…but no more.

Why?

Because I now have two of my very own superheros.

They have escorted me into stores,

taken me for walks,

and just made me feel safer.

You know, from cracks that I might fall into…

“Don’t mess with me”

“Or I will break out my mad dance moves”

I am glad my world is now a safer place.
