Yesterday Haiden didn't have school. I found a picture that she had drawn of outer space the night before. In it was Jesus the earth , stars and some Planet's. Anyway I had a thought to lay some paper down in my entry way and pull out the paint. I put the Little's down for nap and Haiden, Kylie and I went crazy learning, drawing and painting the Solar System. After it was over and everyone was awake, we moved on to play dough and a dance party. It was all cleaned up including the kid's just in time for Daddy to come home and me to head of to school. Even though at the end of the day I was exhausted I love these times with my kids. I have always been amazed at how their little minds work and have always wanted them to have a strong desire to learn. I am thankful that I have the ability to stay home with my kids and spend time with them. I am thankful for the day's when life slows down and I get to have hands on fun with them, with out any mundane interruptions from normal life. More then anything in the world I have always wanted to be a Mom and I have reflected today on how often we get caught up in extra activities, homework, party planning, volunteering and everything extra that really gets in the way of hat I really want to be doing. I am going to strive for more day's like yesterday in hopes that it will find us a happier home. Time to start asking the question of which sacrifices are beneficial to our family and which ones are not.
