ALOHA! We got back from sunny Hawaii at the end of May and it's hard to come back to rain, rain and more rain. We had a lot of fun traveling with our friends as there were a total of four families = 8 adults, 4 boys and 1 girl. Ever since coming back, we've realized how mundane our lives are...
We can pretty much tell you how our every day looks like:
6:30am: kids wake up
7:00am: feed them breakfast9:00am: A goes to preschool, N naps
11:45am: pick up A from preschool
noon: lunch time
1:30pm: nap times for both boys
4:00pm: after nap activity: library, go to the park, playdate, cook dinner
5:45pm: dinner
6:45pm: get ready for bed...good night!
I wonder how we can inject some spice into our lives? I guess, it is in the mundane ways of life that we find security. I know for a fact that if we were to mess up the boys' nap schedules in order for us to go out, etc. then we would be the ones to pay for it in the end. Kids in general like schedules because they would know what to expect and helps them to function better. At least, it is in my family's case. I just need to accept this phase of my life and embrace as it is, mundane and all.
I am reminded of what our dear friends have told us: "we are living the life!" as most people aim to have a family, dogs, a home, etc. and we have exactly just that. I need to really remember that especially when my three old throws his epic tantrums, and my ten month old attempts to drinks from the dog bowl....
