It's been a long time since I blogged but my life has been super busy! Actually, busy is an understatement......
A couple of months ago as Reggie walked out of the door headed to work, he told me how he would love to just stay home and chill with us for a day. I suggested we both take MLK off since Keylon would be out of school. So we did!
Well, I took off Friday as well just to have a day to myself. (In case y'all didn't know I have a spoiled hubby, three demanding kids and a crazy work schedule.) The day alone didn't go as planned because Reggie's cold he had been fighting all week got the best of him and he stayed home. The kids still went to Granny's! I sat around looking crazy watching my recorded Discovery ID shows.
Saturday was WONDERFUL! We woke up early for our trip to the Fort Worth Zoo. 10am was the target time but in true Howard fashion, we were an hour late. LOOK, Key needed a haircut...

| The baby elephants, Belle and Bowie |
As you can see, they really enjoyed themselves. After three hours at the zoo, we went to our favorite pizza spot for lunch. PERROTTI'S!
My mom came over Sunday to babysit so Reg and I could hang out. We watched the game at BJ's and walked around Hulen Mall for a minute. I wanted to make sure he knew exactly what to get me for Valentine's Day.

After a few hours to ourselves, we kicked back into parent mode for a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Keylon and Lauryn didn't want pizza or cake. They just wanted to PLAY! Lauryn kept pointing to the games and saying, "Mama, that way!" I was shocked Reagan wasn't scared of the rat. She is fearless like her big sis. I wonder where they got that from??????

Transitioning from a stay at home mom to a working mom has been very hard for me. I'm a hands on mom. It's just the way I'm wired. I often feel like I'm neglecting my husband and kids trying to keep up with the hustle and bustle of life. To be honest, sometimes I feel I'm barely above water. This 4 day weekend was much needed family time for us. I had a blast with my heartbeats and I must say life has never been more satisfying!
