What did your kids do today?

This is pretty much everything in Sadie's room. Spencer and Sadie shut themselves in her room this morning. They were being so nice to each other and I was busy with things around the house so I just let them be. When I went in to make sure they were okay I saw that they had had lots of fun piling EVERYTHING onto her bed! They were not so excited about having to put it all away. But then who can blame them? Most people I know don't like cleaning up either. I would cook and sew all day, everyday if I didn't have to clean up after myself (and if I didn't have kids:).

All the small things...

All the small things... grandpa helping to teach Mark...

The joy of Tommy swinging out in the warm sun....

Being a mom and even if it's only one day a year (thankfully it's more) of my kids saying thanks mom for being there for us, for loving us, for taking care of us, for giving us hugs and kisses, for making sure we get our homework done, for playing with us, for singing to us and reading to us, and for all the other things you do...

For naps... this little girl rarely takes one, but when she does she sleeps hard...

For preschool where Spencer gets to make cool things... and for brushing our teeth...

I am just thankful for all the small things which add up to our lives and that's a big deal!
