Today has been a pretty full day. My kids awoke me to gf blueberry waffles (hardly toasted...but a lovely gesture nonetheless) and a very small bowl of mint choco chip ice cream. Next were the parade of Mother's Day cards as I ate (very creative, thoughtful little cards too!) and a special Mother's Day song that my 10 year old made up. It was very sweet and a nice tune. Next, were my daily chores of laundry and dishes, and making meals. That's okay...I really didn't think I'd get out of it. As I read TOS, my 10 yr old came out and sat down on the couch with my 3 yr old. She took out an 'I Spy' book and started to read it and pointed to the objects that my 3 yr old was supposed to find. My 3 yr old is VERY good at it, as it is her favorite book to look at with me. My 10 yr old read the lines with ease and my heart filled with joy for her over her ability to do that. Just two years ago she could barely read at all. Using Abeka last year helped a great deal. Though she isn't an advanced reader, she is at grade level now and reads willingly in her spare time. I couldn't help it, I had to take more pics of this scene...was too cute and I wanted picture memories! They then started to blow their cheeks up with air and 'pop' them with each other's hands. I sat back and giggled right along with them. They were having a blast! After this, my girls all gathered together and decided that they were going to play hide-n-go-seek while I made dinner in the kitchen. I couldn't believe how long that game actually lasted in this little house! I mean...how many places can ya hide here?!! They decided to take full advantage of every square foot too...using the garage, the laundry area, all the closets, the bathroom, the furnace closet (there's a HUGE space in there that's not used..though I dare not venture in there with the wolf spiders that I have seen crawl through our house before), along with the curtains in the front room. Quite hilarious as they claimed rights to their 'secret hiding places'. I was begged numerous times to tell where others were hidden. I'd just shrug and continue making the casserole I was working on. Once dinner was done though, all were eager to end their searching and dig into their meal. All in all, it was a good Mother's Day for me. I love being a mom. |
My hubby departed for work at 2:30 as usual and the girls proceeded to their rooms to play, due to rain outside. Me...I sat and read a little in my TOS magazine in between chores. (btw..I now have some websites to check out)
