its been a really good day

Last night I took the girls on base to watch the fireworks. I am SO glad that I did...even if I did have to take them by myself!! I was a little nervous at first taking the kids without Aaron there to help. Mostly for fear of losing one in the dark. The girls loved them. Emma at first wouldnt look at them. She said they were too bright so I gave her my sunglasses that were in my purse and that really helped. She was so fun to watch. She loved the ones that looked like gold glitter falling. She would be laying there on the blanket (with sunglasses as big as her whole face) and as soon as one of those would come she would hurry and sit up..start to clap..and yell "TINKERBELL DUST!" and then lay back down to continue watching. Abby chose for us to sit right at the front so occasionally one of us would get pelted with the firework remains, but it was so worth it to watch the girls excitement. Jonas on the other hand fell asleep half way through (I still dont know how he managed that especially during the finale). All in all it was a really good night.

Today the kids (even Jonas) let me sleep in until 9:30am!! We just spent the day cleaning up and playing. The perfect day. Jonas took a nap around 10:30 and did not wake up from that nap until 3:30. I had to go in a few times to make sure he was still breathing...it was such a long nap! To be honest I havent had many good days with the kids lately...i have been too stressed or worn out so I will take today and whatever meltdowns I am sure will come tomorrow and just be happy to be a mom to three of the cutest most precious kids...I figured I should say it now before I change my mind tomorrow :)
