HOLY MOTHER OF MULTIPLES, BATMAN!

So, it looks like Monday night is now "multiples" night on TLC. A new show about a couple in Texas with quints called "Quints by Surprise" premiered, along with another "Kate +8" show. We started watching "Jon and Kate +8" when it first began and were sad to see their marriage crumble on national TV. However, I think the Gosselins should get back together now- Kate has turned into the skanky girl of Jon's dreams! HELLO! Have you seen how she's dressing? Her tops are more revealing than anything she wore on "Dancing with the Stars." As a parent of multiples I know the divorce rates are pretty high, and I totally know why. New babies+ parents with little to no sleep+ financial stress= divorce. We get pretty gripey when we haven't had a lot of sleep, and we only have twins! I cannot imagine how parents of higher order multiples get through their days. My little guys are pretty easy, and pretty amazing. They wake up so happy and smiling- I don't remember the older boys being so happy all the time. Yes, my little identical angels. And even though they're identical, I don't think they look alike. Then I see pictures of them, like the one I posted, and think "hmmmm, I'm wrong, aren't I?" I always wanted twins, and never thought I would have them. I've been fascinated with multiples since I was about 4 years old. I've read articles, books, watched TV specials...before having twins, I felt pretty knowledgeable about multiples. Now that I'm getting a first hand experience, I realize all of those things I chose to educate myself with were great tools to prepare myself for a life with twins. Yes, I am a mother of multiples. That's probably easier for me to say out loud than admitting that I have 4 sons!

And thanks to everyone who posted comments and became followers of the blog! It was a little success and I appreciate you all!

My favorite time of night...

So here I am...something I swore I would never do: I began a blog. I decided to create a blog after talking with some of my friends from FaceBook, who are actually people I see, not just people I used to know. After hearing "I love reading your updates," more times than I can shake a stick at, I decided to make my life more official. I have decided to document my family's life a little more thoroughly. There are so many stories about my boys that I never get a chance to share, so this will be the place for some of my more extended stories about them.

And yes, this is my favorite time of night. My boys are all asleep, and I get to spend some "quality time" with my husband in front of the television. We have our routine of sorts- We get the older boys to bed, we get the babies to bed, then we watch TV and talk. I know, it sounds pretty lame, but that's us, and I love it. It's quiet, and I get to spend time alone with my best friend in the whole world. He means more to me than I can ever express, and I'm lucky to have him, and I tell him that whenever I can. Ya know what he tells me in return? "Yeah, you are."

So that's the first post. Leave some comments, ask some questions, I'd love to have some feedback. I'll be sure to post more pictures on here as well.
