Wonderful little beings

Children are hard work. Full stop. And you have to be able to cope with mood swings ten times worse that a woman with PMS. And then within seconds they are the cutest little things you have ever seen.

Today at a stork tea someone read a list of when you know you're a mother. I can't remember much, but I do remember this one, "Happy hour is the hour between when the kids go to sleep and you go sleep." We love our adorable little angels. But it's also lovely to sit back at 20:15 and drink a mug of hot chocolate and just b r e a t h e.

It doesn't matter how hard it gets, I can't get over the fact of the miracle of these little beings that WE created. It's amazing to grow and learn with them and I never want to go back to not being a mother! :)
