Our Picnic
It has been a while since we have had a "normal" day at our house. Some of my favorite memories so far of the kids are them running in and out of the house (which does drive me a bit crazy), running from one thing in the backyard to the next, making up games, laughing, and of course there is always SOME tears and tattling. I love those memories for them. I love how the time change, which brings more light, and the warm spring air, pulls the kids from playing in their rooms to playing outside. It seems like it has been so long since I have had the kids completely to myself on a weekday afternoon. I use to take this for granted...being able to watch and play with them was something I easily did. Things haven't been that easy for quite some time now. So today, was wonderful! The kids did it all and I got to watch and play along too! Swing set, sandbox, trampoline, TreeRings (a game my sister made up to play with them), running, playing, laughing. It was the perfect normal day! We topped it off with a picnic dinner, nothing special but the kids were excited. Jason was out of town tonight so we did miss him. I am so thankful that I get to be apart of my kids lives. They are such a blessing to me.
