Taking a Moment to Laugh at Life

I am really tickled by the fact that all week my kids and I were excited about the Phineas and Ferb movie that came on last night. We were also very disappointed that daddy wasn't going to be here to watch with us.
There used to be a time when dates included flowers, candlelit dinners, maybe a couple of drinks, nice clothes (sometimes), and spending time in the presence of one individual. Now most dates are made for a group of 5, ranging from ages 3-31, and they include pizza, pajamas, and cartoons.
If you would have asked me in 1996/1997 if in 2011 I would have anticipated that crowding around a tv to watch a cartoon movie would be the highlight of my week, I would have surely laughed and told you that you were crazy!
Now I can't imagine my life being any other way. My kids bring me so much joy. I love seeing how different they all are, yet they are all little combinations of my husband and myself. I may not be taking trips around the world or having late night dinners with movies and dancing, but I can definitely say I am living my life to the fullest...times 3. Almost any day can be some sort of adventure with them, and I love that they bring me back to the innocent things in life, when paying bills wasn't a concern, because there were more important things to do like go swimming and playing ball. :D
