We're quite the busy family with hubby a high school teacher and coach, daughter in dance and son just starting up baseball that when we finally have a night in, we like to just relax. Grabbing a board game, reading stories, watching a movie, decorating cookies or cupcakes - all make the perfect game night for the family.
Hearing my mom's words come out of my mouth. You know, when you're a kid and you heard things like, "because I said so", and you didn't think it was fair. Ha, now I understand why Mom said it. Basically, because it fit - and it ends the whining - most of the time.
The other aspect of motherhood that surprised me - how much I really enjoy being a stay at home mom. I was a worker bee. I worked full time (40hrs) with one job, many times I had a part-time gig going on the side, and places to go, things to do. When I was pregnant with my son, I debated on returning to work or staying home. I had heard both sides of the mommy tales - how much they enjoyed returning to work and having adult conversations. And I had also heard how fulfilling it was to be home, take care of the family, see every milestone, etc. I worried I was on the go so much, that I'd go nuts staying home. After he turned about 4 months, I started a mommy and me class, joined a mom's group, and was always on the go...it hasn't stopped. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised - I'm more busy now, than when I was working full time.
We really enjoy playing Just Dance. The kids get in the mood, then my husband and I let the competition begin to see who can get the highest score. For being 5 and 3, the kids are getting really good at it, and at times beating us. I guess it's time to upgrade to newer versions like Just Dance 4 and Just Dance Disney.
