Today, I had my day all planned out. First I was going to the doctor for my annual "lady" exam, and then I was going to take the kids to see Santa at the mall and head home to clean the house, wash, dry and put away dirty clothes, cut the grass in the front yard and put together our gingerbread house.
Gil took all three boys to the soccer field and played soccer and football with them. He left his cell phone in the car, which I thought was awesome because he dedicated that hour only to the boys!
Well, right after I was done at the doctors, Rick (a.k.a. Tio Chino) called and asked if the boys and I wanted to go to Universal Studios. So I said yes, because I figured instead of having the boys in the house most of the day, we would enjoy the day and make some memories! Unfortunately, Gil could not take the day off from work, but he wished us a day of fun.
I at least took the kids to see Santa before we went to Universal, and then we at Universal from 12:00 p.m. all the way until 6:30 p.m. Tio Chino, Dami and Mia left at 4:00 p.m., but we wanted to thank them for inviting us and we had a GREAT time!
I know that sometimes the house becomes a mess, clothes start to pile up and I get behind on my daily "To Do List", but if the kids are smiling, laughing and enjoying each other that is the most important thing because those spontaneous moments in their lives will last forever!
