Loverly Night Ahead

My mother in law is taking the two older children tonight. For the whole night. Can I tell you how excited that makes me? No one but me and Keith and Ryan to hang out.

Ryan and I need one on one mommy time. That poor baby gets back burnered a lot of times because of his older siblings. It's so not fair. I plan on munchkin time for quite awhile. Me and him and Daddy playing on the floor. Me teaching him how to do "Pon Pon Pon, por la manito pon, porque el nene puso el dedo en el tapon..." it's a spanish nursery rhyme I tought all my children at his age. It means "tap tap tap, on the little hand tap, because the baby put his finger in the cookie jar" (yea i know it doesnt rhyme in english, and is kinda weird to be tapping a baby's hand when he touches cookie jars, but then again Rock a bye baby is hideous, so there.) It involves hand motions that are easy for them to learn and gets them ready to use their hands to express themselves. I remember even teaching my little brother to do it when he was an infant. Ryan loves it, and is learning more and more of it everyday. By the end of the night he will have it mastered.

When Ryan goes to sleep, its me and Keith time. To snuggle and then some. To just look at each other and laugh and be able to BREATHE. I swear to you people, if I had the money, he and I would go on a honeymoon we never had. And I am so glad my tubes are tied, because if we had the chance to go on a cruise or on a vacation, there will be much lovin' goin' on. If the tubes weren't tied died and burned to the side, I would end up concieving triplets.

Tomorrow is a birthday party for the kids cousin Marisa. And then it's beer and brats time. We are having some people over for beer and all that jazz. Just my husband's childhood friends and me sitting there basically laughing at their nostalgia and how much trouble they were as kids.

Then, this Monday of course is Independence Day. Fireworks and weiners and burgers, oh my.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, a safe and blessed one.
