Bring on the Cheese!

I realize this may be cheesy, but in honor of our ten year anniversary we decided to run a 10K together. It was fun, and we made it to the end in one piece. During the run I wanted to talk about how we met or something significant along those lines. Frankly we were too winded for any of that. So for celebrations sake I say go ahead, bring on the cheese.

I saw this here and here and loved it. This is my list of 22 things I've learned from motherhood. If you do this tell me I want to see your list!

1. Don't sweat the small stuff, if you do you will sweat a lot

2. There is a period of time when you should hide crayons, sharpie markers and butter knives. You never know where or what they will be used for.

3. When something gets destroyed, or just needs to be fixed, you might get teary when it is repaired or replaced.

4. Read. A Lot. Out loud. Over & Over

5. Cranky kids? Just add water. Tub. Swimming Pool. Hose.

6. Stop for ice cream

7. Hold the babies

8. Say yes as much as you can

9. Kids want to be heard, hear them. Be present.

10. Try not to be in a hurry

11. Eat dinner together

12. If you want something to happen, plan.

13. I'm not as patient as I thought I was

14. Dirt is fun

15. Cowboy boots are necessary

16. Bedtime is mandatory except when its not.

17. Bandaids cure headaches

18. All you need is a holdy

19. If its gross, its hilarious

20. Its ok to cry it out

21. play, play and play some more

22. I feel like i can do things that I technically may be too old to do. But I feel like I can because I have the kids with me.

Getting out of Dodge

I got out of dodge and this is what I saw.

Without getting too mushy or sentimental, I will say, its a shout-it-from the roof tops celebrate kind of day. Happy anniversary!
