Is it summer?

Our first day home together as a family, just the 5... I mean six of us. (wow do we really have 4 kids?) And it was a wonderful wonderful day. The morning was busy with Abby going to preschool and Christopher and I running around and doing a few errands. I picked up Abby from preschool and asked her what she learned in preschool. She responded. "Let's go get tacos mom and we can discuss it." (hahahaha)

For you see we were going to get tacos with my dad and she wasn't ready for school discussion yet. The three of us met my dad at the local Taco Bell and had a good time catching up. After tacos we went to the clinic I work at and introduced little Christopher to my friends and co-workers before we rushed off to his 1 week checkup. He is growing great! Already 7lb 6oz and over his birth weight.

Chris and I had picked up a kite, new chalk and a few other outdoor toys. The girls had a blast playing in the backyard with all of the new toys. It being unseasonably warm and 75 degrees helped too!

Can I just say I love love love being home with my kids and husband? (who is currently working tonight) Already I'm seeing the three girls revert back to their more 'usual' selves. We go the park, they follow me, they listen to me... and there are no massive throw down, world ending, volcanic explosions. I'm hoping this is a sign of how things will be... and hoping/wondering if this might need to be a more permanent change. Can I be a complete stay at home mom at this point? Not sure... but at least I would like to find something less perhaps.

Our car went from caked in dirt to streaky and smeared... but its an improvement. (look at how much fun they are having!)
