[day 31] egg decorating night

i felt so nauseous driving home from la this afternoon. i don't know if it was the long commute, but my body just couldn't hang. i haven't seen my boys all day and as i drove into the driveway, dylan ALWAYS comes running out to open my door and carries my purse in (on days i don't pick them up from school). he does that ALL the time and makes me so content. then, evan is calling "mama" and i couldn't help but give him a hug and kiss, but said i'll be back since i went into the bathroom. i had an upset stomach, but couldn't vomit - instead, i changed out of my work clothes and rested for a bit. i didn't even have the energy to rinse my body, which i normally do just to feel clean. 

i don't know how many times my kids came over to see me while i laid in bed, but it meant something to me. i'm glad i have a supportive husband who didn't mind watching our boys while i rested for what was supposed to be 15 minutes that turned into 2 hours. i had to force myself to get up when my two oldest kept saying "mom, are you done yet. are we going to decorate our eggs today?" i would respond "i promise. give me 10 minutes.". i hear their excitement in their voice as they told papa dang and he kept telling them that i wasn't able to get up and they'll have to wait until tomorrow, but of course, aiden repeatedly stated that "mama said she's going to decorate with us." 

our house is not that big and of course, i heard their conversation. again, i made a promise as i drove home from work today when papa dang put me on speaker. i asked them "who wants to decorate eggs???" and of course, they responded "me, me, me!". papa ended up boiling 6 eggs per boy for me. 

and .... the promise was kept. they decorated two eggs each and was completely satisfied! i promise to decorate two more with them tomorrow since it was their bedtime. i bathe them and off they went - my babies went to sleep. sweet dreams my loves.

love my boys. xoxo.

these were taken with my iphone since my camera ran out of batteries. dylan's egg is the first image you see and aiden is the second. he actually had a star war decorating box but he accidentally slipped his egg out of his hand and the water from his coloring container spilled over his box. dylan ended up sharing his box with him.
