My Cup Overflows


There are those days that I feel so much love for my kids that I feel overwhelmed.  Yesterday was one of those. Dont get me wrong, I feel so much love for my kids everyday, but yesterday all I could think was "my cup overflows."
Mondays is paper go home day for JG.  They do alot in PreK and I have been extremely impressed with my big boy coming home with all sorts of worksheets that he has completed.  I mean, he can trace a line!!  Ok, dont laugh, but really?  Our refrigerator is filled with stuff he has done, from scribbly circles, to his thumbprint:)  But John and I were looking at his papers last night with him and he was SO proud.  His little face was just lighting up, and he wanted to put everything up on the fridge. Every night when he gets home, he is so hungry and will literally eat everything that looks good, last night consisted of (dont judge me please) chicken nuggets, french fries, popsicle,  chips and dip, ice cream, cinammon toast, and he said he was still hungry when we stopped the gravy train for the night.  between him and his daddy, we will have a grocery bill the size of Texas in about 3 years.  As I was tucking him in last night, after our bedtime routine, he said "Mama, when I grow up, Im going to be in charge."
When I got my rare 5 minutes to myself to go take a shower last night, I got out and heard all 3 of my loves laughing out loud.  G laughs so hard at her brother, who is much funnier than mama or daddy. She had a huge smile on her face and was just so happy.  She fell asleep last night, by herself, with both arms up over her head.
Does everyone love their kids this much?  I am sure so, but I am so thankful and in love with mine
