Kids :-)

Whoa! I definitely had my fill of kids this weekend and realized that I'm definitely not ready for kids. I guess I already knew this but this weekend helped enforce the idea.

I babysat my cousin's kids for her on Friday night. My cousin and her husband went out with friends and spent the night there so I had the kids, E and D, overnight and part of the morning. E got a Nintendo DS for Christmas and guess who is obsessed with it now? ME!!! I played the game Cooking Mama for probably about 7 hours total. It's so fun! I almost bought one the next day but refrained for financial reasons and the fact that I really don't need that taking up my time.

The funniest thing ever was being informed that D's (a 4 year old boy) favorite movie is "Barbie's 12 Dancing Princesses". He even does ballet dances to the music and pretends that he is Genevieve, the starring role.

I brought my laundry with so I could do it after the kids went to bed. Well little did I realize that I had a ton to do and it took me 6 hours!!! I ended up going to bed at 3 am. Then of course E and D woke me up at 7 am and would not allow me to go back to sleep. The thought that ran through my head when I opened my eyes to see their adorable faces staring at me? "I'm never having kids."

The next day my cousin and I took the kids to the mall which has a theme park inside. The kids went on a few rides and then we headed home. It was so much fun to see their faces light up and watch them get so excited about the rides. I love them!

Then on Saturday night Johnny and I had his twin 7-year old sons for the night. We usually have them every Saturday night and Sunday. We played games and watched movies with them. Johnny and I stayed up late watching our favorite show (How I Met Your Mother) which we rented the seasons of and have been watching like crazy! We didn't go to sleep until about 2:30 and the boys woke us up about 8:30. We had breakfast and then the boys and I decorated Easter eggs!!! I hadn't done that in years so it was really fun. They were so proud of the eggs they decorated :-)

The boys went back to their Mom's around 4 and I crashed!!! I was so exhausted from the lack of sleep and the running around with kids. It was fun but I definitely like my kid-free life ;-)
