6 years

Last Saturday M and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. We had a very nice day. We dropped the boys at his parents house and went to see the movie Rent. It was okay. We then went out to dinner. It was nice to actually spend time alone together . We love the boys so much but it was nice to be together without whinning and spitting up. This was our first "date" in 2 years since son #1 was born. The boys slept at his parents house and how sad for us but we were both asleep at 10:30pm. We are such exciting people.

I am almost done Christmas shopping. Unfortunately, we are not able to spend what we would like this year now that we have 2 kids. I pretty much spent most of the money on the boys and will be buying less for other people this year. We just can't afford to buy for everyone anymore. Hopefully next year I will be able to go back to work a few days a week so next Christmas should be better. I know that Christmas is not about the gifts and the money we spend. I am looking forward to spending time with the family and friends.

Son #1 will be two in January. I can hardly believe it. I booked his birthday party at a gymnastics place. It is going to be alot of fun for the kids. They get to run around for an hour then for a half hour they get pizza and cake and then its over. At first an hour and a half seemed like not enough time but we will have about 15 kids under the age of 6 so I think an hour and a half is perfect. I know A will have a blast.

A has been very rambuncios lately. I know he is two but I have been exhausted lately. I am trying to keep him contained in the living room during the day so he doesn't have run of the house but unfortunately that doesn't allow me to get anything done around the house because I need to stay in the living room with him. He is very slick and finds ways to escape if I'm not there with him. Clearly, I need a better plan. Once the holidays are over, we will finish our basement. I can't wait. Its almost done. Once it is done, we will have a massive family room where the boys can play. It will be child proofed as well so I don't have to worry about them getting hurt. I am really looking forward to having people over and not worrying about not having room for them. Plus the kids will have an area all to themselves to play. Did I mention I CAN'T WAIT!

I hope my blogging buddies Jenn and Nikki are feeling better. Off to bed. The boys have me up at 7am every morning so I need to sleep. NIGHT!
