Just a mommy "awwww" moment

Today was the first day in forever (literally, I cannot remember how long) that I stayed home all day and did not go anywhere! I did not get behind the wheel car, I was not a passenger in a car, I did not enter a department store of any kind, or go to work....it was great! I spent the entire day with my family and this evening, Wess ran out to the church to work on some stuff and me and the boys did our Bible studies, they took baths (not in the coveted mommy tub, but still a good time!) and then we had a nice quiet movie playing to wind down from the non-stop play zone that the living room was today! I went in my room to get some things done before I put the boys to bed and when I went back in the living room, I just went "awwww"! Now I spend every evening with the kids, so it's not like I never see them, but rarely do I get to spend the whole day, with no errands (etc.) with them. Sometimes, you just have to slow down.....I think I'll make it a point to have more days like this in 2008!


I'm pretty sure I had a possum on my hands with the bigger one (note the smirk and forcefully closed eyes!), but even that was cute tonight! Thank goodness he happened to "wake up" just in time to walk to his bed! I'm not sure I could have hoisted him up to that top bunk without seriously hurting myself!


They are both getting so big! I just can't believe it! "Awwwwww!"

So sweet! I agree with what you said- I need to slow down sometimes, too!

Do you know Tonette's email address? She posted a comment on my blog that she might want me to make a crown for her little girl. I commented back on her blog, but I don't know how often she checks it. Thanks!

Kristal, HAHA, I must not have recognized you either at Sam's. It is not like me at all not to speak to someone. Sorry. I will try to pay attention better next time as to who is around me. Geez! Thank you by the way. I work at it you know, it is a never ending process trying to lose weight and maintain it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... you are such a Good Mommy, and you're blessed to recognize "awwww moments" instead of letting them slip by unnoticed! Lovin' your blog :)
