One on One Time?!

Normally the conversation of how many kids we have goes one of two ways. It either goes down the how do we afford it path or the quality time path. People have asked time and time again how it is possible that we spend quality time with each of them individually. It's kind of funny people ask us that, because honestly I feel like we spend more time with our kids than some people with one or two kids do. It really isn't rocket science when it comes to this, it's an easy thing and we just kind of do it. We spend time together doing various things, it could be us just washing clothes together and talking about our day or it could be something major like taking one of them ice skating. It doesn't have to be some fancy event, kids don't need fancy they just need you. That is something we have learned with having so many kids, we've realized that all the fancy pants Pinterest ideas we have been trying don't really matter. We make sure we have some kind of date night with each of our kids per month, yea it gets a little hectic, but it's beyond worth it. I honestly feel like I would fail as a parent if I didn't make the extra effort to bond with each of our kids and get to truly know them. I love the fact Jason and I can tell you everything about our kids, what they like and what they don't like. I always find it funny when parents tell me they have no clue what kinds of things they should get their kids for holidays, like it's kind of obvious for our kids-we buy the toy they've been talking about all year! I'm very thankful for all the little dates we have had so far and can't wait to see what we end up doing this year.
