So lately I feel like all I have done is complain about my kids. I'm sure all of my friends think I am a terrible mother who doesn't love my kids, cause all they ever hear about are the negative things that happen, and how I just need a break from them. Well, I figured it was time that I brag about the good things that happen around here, cause believe it or not, there are some good times too...
Like this morning, Ashlyn and Damon were playing a game where they would run from one side of the kitchen to the other, and when they would get to a wall they would crash into it. Well, for Damon's sake, Ashlyn was pretending to run as fast and hard as she could, while really barely running at all, just so that Damon would think he was faster than she was. In all reality, Damon couldn't care less about winning a race, but that isn't the point. In Ashlyn's mind, winning is EVERYTHING, but she was willing to lose just cause she wanted to make her baby brother happy.
And just a few minutes ago, while Blake was playing Wii with a couple of his friends, Damon started screaming for no apparent reason, and Blake chose to pause his game to go kiss and comfort Damon.
And I'm sure most of you have heard me complain about how Damon empties out all the kitchen drawers like 10 times a day, well the part that I never mention is how happy he gets to clean it all up while looking at me for smiles and approvals. He might not put things back where they belong, and he might empty it back out as soon as he picks them up, but it melts my heart how happy he gets when he thinks he is helping me out by "cleaning" it up for me.
And nothing cheers me up more than the "dance parties" that me and the kids have. We blast the music up high or turn on our "Just Dance" Wii game and all dance. It is so much fun and pretty darn funny (videos to come on a later post!) to watch my kids, including Damon, dance all crazy!
So you see, we do have some good times around here too, even if you don't hear about them that often, CAUSE MAN I NEED A BREAK FROM THESE KIDS! :)

All I know is I wanna see you on this Just Dance video that you will be posting soon!!! Ha! We totally should have done a dance off when I was down...oh well, next time! And I hear ya...we always tend to focus more on the naughty things our kids do instead of the good!!! Guess it's good to occassionally mention the sweet things too! However, they never make for as good a story! :)
