Slow down

I read a post on a friend's blog the other day.

Her words reminded me how lucky I was

to be a stay at home mom.

My boys will only be in my care for a short time

the dishes

the laundry

the cleaning

will always be there

and will come back again, and again, and again.

One day last week, I did nothing but lay on the floor with my

youngest and played.

"eye to eye" playing.

"really listening" playing.

It rained all day and finally cleared up in the evening

as I was making dinner.

Hubby was working a bit late on the farm,

so the kids and I ate on the porch on paper plates

to watch this........

A perfect day!

Slow down and enjoy what is in front of you!
