3 cheers for Spring!

I'm so glad warmer weather is on the way! It's mid-March and this past weekend it was in the 70's. The flowers are all starting to come up and all the tree's have buds on them. I LOVE this time of year! It's now pouring rain but that's okay because I know sunshine is ahead :)

I've recently become part of a "mom's" group and am really enjoying it. We go out every couple of weeks for dinner (without kids) and have adult conversations. LOVE that and definitely NEED that! I haven't really noticed up until lately my need for something more than just staying home with my kids. Of course I love them unconditionally, they're absolutely adorable, and I'm very blessed. BUT (yes there's a but:) I do miss conversations with the girls which I use to get at work all the time but since I quit to stay home I don't get that anymore. I don't regret my decision to stay home because I know no one will love my kids like I do. I have a hard time trusting anyone to take care of them while their young anyway.
My little Missy is 4 "going on 5" as she says and I definitely feel more comfortable with someone watching her because she's older. My little buddy is just shy of 2 and I'm getting more comfortable but will feel better when he can talk a bit more.
On the other hand we're (my husband and I) are going to have to find someone because we need some date nights and 3x a year is not enough! That's about how many times we see our family per year. So we don't have the luxury of dropping our kids off anytime we want to for them to watch.
I'm not sure where to start... However I do have a very nice lady (my friends mom) that watches them for me 1x a week right now so I can go to a ladies Bible study. Which I'm thankful for. I'm really enjoying the speaker, Beth Moore, and the studies that she's put together.
We finished Daniel and now we're onto Esther.
Now onto more laundry...
