Addi and Brogan are allies. Sometimes Jared and I think they are secretly plotting to take over our positions of King and Queen of the house. They will cry at the same time...loudly. Or one will cry for a while and as soon as he/she stops crying, the other one will begin. We will change one child's diaper just in time to realize that we need to change the other child's diaper as well. One will just finish eating and the other will then need to be fed. It is utter chaos, and there are times we are completely overwhelmed and exhausted - but we love it. Wouldn't trade it for the world. We are clinging to each crazy moment and trying to make each moment count because we realize that all too soon these moments will just be a memory.
So for every time that we wish for a date night, for a moment of silence, a living room that isn't filled with toys at all times of the day and night, a good night's sleep, etc...we quickly count our blessings. When we are fifty, there will be lots of times for date nights, the house will be too quiet, the living room will be void of toys, and we will be able to sleep at night and take naps during the day if we want - and we will probably wish we could turn back time and relive the moments we are experiencing now. I don't want to wish away on single second of these days.
