23 The first week or two
Posted on: September 25, 2009
It was September of 2003. At the beginning of that year I never imagined that I would be the mother of 4 children by the end of the year. But here I was.
Joe and I took some time off work to spend with the kids the first week or two. We spent a lovely day at Great Wolf Lodge (an indoor waterpark). We spent the weekend camping where we got to do our first trick or treat camping. We also spent a day at the zoo. And somewhere in there we had a party so everyone could meet our new kids.
A funny story about the party – my mom purchased cute little dresses for Ann, Alex, and Jean. She bought them matching dresses. We have a picture that completely expresses how Alex feels about matching clothes. She looks absolutely PISSED!
Anyhow, they were spoiled and showered with gifts. I guess when babies get all kinds of presents it is okay because they don’t realize all the “stuff” they are getting. When you spoil the older kids it just sets them up for disappoint in the future when the all the gifts and spoiling are over.
