well, most of the time. between the hours of 10and2am are guaranteed. anything after that is pretty much a free for all. during the day, daddy & arrow value the punches on their sleeping timecards more than myself, my brain won't quiet down long enough to take a midday siesta. either that, or the excessive amount of caffeine i pour into my system on any given day.
we are snugglers.
spooners & footsie players. arrow will sometimes end up in our bed at 3:45am and wrap around me like a vine. arms around my neck, legs slung low across my lap & head on my chest. if you can imagine, it gets sweaty, but one day she won't do any of those things, so ill happily take sweaty.
we are dancers.
husband has his wiggle move down to an art. i may do it a bit more professionally, but arrow with her stomping feet, swinging arms & bobbing head action will soon give a run for my money. uptown funk is her jam & she absolutely hates when her carseat straps hold her back.
he is a worker.
my husband is always working on something. work at the office or hobby-work at home. its like working hard is deeply embedded into his internal wiring. if you met his parents, you would see where it comes from. vacation to them means work with a view of the ocean :) i respect him so much for it. he works all day so arrow & i can be whimsical & fun & carefree. (love you baby, i don't say it enough, thank you)
she is a giggler.
ticklish & playful. you should see her face when she gets caught with something naughty. smiles, screams & run away, looking back every few steps to make sure you're still chasing her. the second daddy walks in the door she immediately runs away just hoping he'll charge at her, scoop her up and play.
she is a screamer.
its a new found talent. her shriek can hit high notes only her & mariah carey have in common. always in a form of excitement, not always in an appropriate place.
we are mess makers.
me with my cooking (and my hair) her with... well, everything else. if there is a drawer cracked open, she will unload it. if her toy box is not put away. every toy must be taken out. pantry? she thinks all the food belongs on the lowest shelf.
we are beautiful messes.
all three of us make up a happy little family. one that spends our 'family nights' on the living room floor, or snuggled up in bed watching crime shows. we are busy and we are crazy, but we make it work. i try to keep everything together, grant keeps me sane & calm when everything feels out of control. & arrow is a constant reminder to soak up every moment we have, because they pass far too quickly; and we plan on doing just that.
happy tuesday!
