end of February...

Two magor things have happened since my last post...
1. VALENTINES DAY which was an awesome lovey day spent with my hubby...
went to the park....
lounged about the house....
played with our kids....
( the night before we stayed up TOGETHER making them heart shaped chocolate chip cookies and Valentines day cards expressing our admiration and love of each one of them)
We had a beautiful dinner out ( by oursleves)...
then went to go see the "Blind Boys of Alabama" in concert
(The tickets were my present from him and I got him those video game 'plug into the TV' systems that have old atari games on them, pacman, galactica etc..)
2. On February 22nd my twin babies turned FIVE years old. OHMYGOSH I cried my eyes out the night before their birthday, I can't believe I don't have babies anymore. I lied in my bed realizing that I don't mind getting older but watching my kids get older is really painful. A whole chapter of my life is over, and of theirs too.....
'They are too cute to grow up', my 12 year old daughter says, and I agree.
The problem is...... I would just keep having babies, I love little kids!
Then they get older and they don't cuddle with you anymore, they argue, they don't kiss you in public, it's a different relationship, and I guess I just wasn't ready to make that shift....
but alas Father time is forcing me to.
The cutest and worst thing about it is they wanted to be and look like "little men" now that they were turning five.
Next thing you know they want the keys to your car......
I'll adjust......
I suppose.
