I love having kids.

I was never one that fantasized about being a mom. When I was younger I dreamed of having a career a cute apartment a hot boyfriend, going on trips; I never thought about being a mom. I figured I would have kids someday but I just never daydreamed about it at all.
Now that I have two beautiful daughters of my own I'm starting to realize how blessed I am. I mean my kids are amazing. They are both beautiful and smart. Eva is so multi-talented I can't even believe it...she obviously gets that from me(wink wink). I just love that I get to experience life through their eyes. I still can't believe that I have kids. I was just talking to Jeremy last night saying,
"Can you believe that when we like tell Eva to do something, she actually listens to us?"
"I mean we're like the parents, we make the decisions, they have to do what we say."
It's almost like an out of body experience when you think about it...I'm kind of expecting my parents to walk in the door and be like, "Ok, everyone that was a good trial run but you don't actually get to make the decisions and do whatever you want, we'll take it from here."
Seriously, that's what I think about.
Plus, I mean, I think we're totally cool parents. Like the other night, we got a 20 piece chicken nuggets from McD's and went over to the Pepsi factory(they make a drive through to look at lights around their factory every year, it's beautiful and fun, with music, it's a Christmas tradition/staple in this town) and put the girls on our laps(Eva drove with Jeremy) and we ate chicken nuggets and looked at all the different displays. Come on, how cool is that?!
I guess I'm just reflecting on today at Eva's preschool. They put on a Christmas program Jeremy and my mom were able to come to and it was so great to watch her sing all these songs that she learned and ones that she's been practicing at home, I just can't believe that she's a product of Jeremy and I, that we made her what she is so far and I couldn't be more proud. I'm just so blessed with the most amazing girls. Elle is becoming a little person with her own personality and I just can't believe within the next 6 months she will be a toddler. WOW! I'm just so blessed with a wonderful, caring, providing husband and just the best girls PLUS they are gorgeous I mean, come on, you've seen them, they are really cute.
Anyway, I never thought that I would love having kids, I guess I love having my kids because I really don't like other peoples kids...mostly.
The point being: I love having kids.
p.s. I do realize that I used the phrase, "I'm so blessed.." like 40 times.
