"Just Can't Get Enough"

I can't help but laugh this morning.  I awoke at the first breaks of dawn; there was just enough light to see that two of my children had slept in our room last night.

 These pictures were taken in the near dark with my iphone...so they aren't great, but enough for my memory to lock on this time in life.  Phin's head is about 10 inches form the side of my bed.

Ava is about 5 feet away...and I stupidly woke her up with the flash.

I sent them to get dressed a few minutes after I snapped these photos and sat up to have my quiet time.  Marc went to get Chloe up.  Before I knew it, someone had quietly slipped up next to me in bed and was quietly looking through her Search N Find Dora book next to me as I was having my quiet time.

How do these children not get sick of me?  They see me ALL the time...and yet there is no place they'd rather be.  It makes me laugh, but I also feel so honored...and loved.  I also can't seem to get this song out of my head this morning:


Unfortunately, I only really knew the verse from seeing it on TV a few times and after pulling up the song realized the lyrics are not something I can be singing all day...so I decided to rewrite them this morning...and it's my theme song for this stage in life;)  Any mamas out there wanna get together and make our own You tube video with these lyrics??;)

Mom, I think about you every night and day
I'm addicted wanna jump inside your love
I wouldn't wanna have it any other way
I'm addicted and I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

Mommy, got a kettle all steamin
She givin rest a new meanin
Choclate bars you a gleamin
In five minutes, she's can be off dreamin, dreamin

Come on mama, you're dreamin'
I'm trynna holler at you, I'm screamin
did you forget that I'm teething
Love you love you yes, my love is gleamin'

Mom, let's play on a team or
I could be the king you could be the queen and
The house is dirty but it don't need cleanin
I think we'd rather be ice creamin'

Oh mom I can't get down so please come help me out
I climbed this tree so I could grab that cloud
But it wasn't high enough

Mom, I think about you every night and day
I'm addicted wanna jump inside your love
I wouldn't wanna have it any other way
I'm addicted and I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/black_eyed_peas/just_cant_get_enough.html ]
Mommy, watch me runnin' like I'm flow joe
If you blink, yes, you'll miss me grow, grow
Time's so sweet so gotta seize it, oh,oh
or you'll wish it right back like presto, yes

Meantime, you'll forget the mess and grime
Forget rest or a shower or your own time
We gotta figure out how to make the green slime
Let's read books and learn how to make some good ryhmes

Somethin bout her smile and that combo
Got me high and I ain't comin down yo
Mommy's cool when she let's me play Rambo
or she teaches me to dance the Roboto

Oh mommy I can't get down so please come help me out
I climbed the wall because I think I'm spider man
And I just can't get enough

Mom, I think about you every night and day
I'm addicted wanna jump inside your love
I wouldn't wanna have it any other way
I'm addicted and I just can't get enough
