the days have definitely changed

Last night we had great plans to enjoy the hockey game with some of our bestest friends. While waiting for Cameron to get off work, I prepared my portion of our dinner and gathered our stuff to take over. Cameron got home right on time (hockey is really the only thing that really gets him to rush home), we watched the first period, then raced up the road to our friends place to cook dinner and watch the rest of the game.

Three years ago, this usually meant we'd make dinner, kick our feet up, enjoy a beer or two, and do nothing but laugh, talk, and relax. Last night, I would say it was anything but relaxing. It's amazing how life has changed for us 4 in the last few years. Gone are the days of doing what we want, we now spend our evenings catching a few minutes here and there of the hockey game. The rest of our time is spent chasing our children around...and they're busy, busy little bees! An almost two year old who is potty training, an almost one year old who is learning to walk, and a 5 month old who is a rolling machine ...that's a lot of chasing.

It's nice to know that we can all find humour in it all and still enjoy the great company but man alive do children change your life! I know none of us would change it for the world....so if you don't find a way to laugh about it all, you won't get to soak up all these moments and find some enjoyment.

Overall it was a great night. I love their two babies like they're my own and I always love seeing them. Oh, and I just went through my diaper bag and discovered that some 5-cent candies were snuck in there by my sweet friend! Jackpot! You're the best C!!

Today is a cloudy rainy day...which is a perfect day for catching up on some housework. On that note...the laundry is calling my name....

Enjoy your day everyone!
