The adventures of Mr. Mom!

So Chris gave me the funniest kick yesterday.  He asked me, "are you sure we are not going to have one more baby?"  SERIOUSLY???  I've been in the hospital multiple times this year.  We are getting our parenting rears kicked by these three.  More?  No way!  He knows!  We both know that there is no way but he still wants to keep the dream alive...

I don't blame Chris at all.  He has eight brothers and sisters (yes same mom and same dad).  I have a lot of siblings but my father was married twice.  I still don't know how my mom did it with four.  To me that is one too many.  


The funny thing is that I'm not the only one who is tired, he gets just as tried (if not more b/c they mind me a little better).  It is pretty amusing.  They are hard on all of us but they are wonderful and inspiring at the same time.  It is funny to see him struggle.  Thursday night he took them all to Walmart and I'm surprised they made it back (with groceries).  He was just frayed!  He wanted to put a sign out in the front yard saying: FREE TODDLERS!  I smile because in part it is hard and it is good for him to see how hard, but the other part of me is happy because he is a good Dad and very willing to learn.


We both know we are done with kids.  There is no question when it comes down to it.  I feel like our job is now to focus raising three great kids and Chris feels likewise.  He is trying.  Friday he wants to take all three camping for Father & Sons (Rachel is coming b/c with rehabilitation I shouldn't be by myself with her).  I wish I could be a fly in their tent b/c I know this will be funny!  It is great though and I love that he is committed to caring for them.  Also it does provide good entertainment.
