Mason loves trucks, actually any vehicle with wheels. He is so different from Brandon, who has never really seemed that interested in "trucks"!
I love getting stuff on clearance, especially when I have coupons! 
Still learning how to share...Mason loves to drive his car around.
Every month I get a little extra one-on-one time with the kiddos (thanks to having to work one weekend a month at the hospital) and it makes me wonder if I have made the right choice (not that I really have a choice about it now) by returning to work after having my babies.
I once thought that my career was what defined me, it gave me purpose and direction, it gave me an identity. Lately I wonder if I could find the same satisfaction if I were a stay-at-home-mom? We would definitely have to find entertainment outside of the house, I think I would drive myself crazy....if my three months (twice over)of maternity leave provided any insight for me!
I can't help but envy those stay-at-home-mom's (SAHM), I wonder if their kids have less temper tantrums, have a better routine, and if the SAHM finds a groove and really enjoy it? I stalk my friends blog (who is now a SAHM) and is doing all these great art projects, has time to organize her house, and seems to be happy in her new found role.
So, what trigger these thoughts? For the last two days I have been home with my boys and we had a blast, hence my post today! We painted (I finally convinced Brandon to use his fingers), we read books, we spent tons of time outside, we played with Play-Doh, and we napped (ok, they napped and I was envious!)!!! My next day off, I plan to copy my friends idea to let the kids (ok, probably just Brandon) paint a canvas (where their names have been written in tape, so when you peel off the tape their name appears! Aleyna, how did you get the letter so perfect?), so we too can have some personal "artwork" to adorn the walls.
