Bliss

The last three days we've had really nice weather. We've also been busy! Tuesday and Thursday the girls go to school. I stopped putting on the TV before school. They are looking at books and basically dragging out every toy we own out to play. It does sometimes annoy me as I'm tripping over a baby, pretend broom, or a cup but the kids are having fun. I like that they aren't watching TV. I've stayed off the computer and focused on what I should be doing as well. Its amazing how our much smoother our mornings go.

Then after naps we play or we go outside. The girls literally drag everything outside. It looks like white trash by the end of the day. I honestly don't care though. Today, Reese put a kitchen spoon in her pants so it would be a tail and sang a song like Ming Ming (wonder pets). I laughed so hard as she shook her "tail" aka hips and sang a song. We even ate outside. We have no table out there but happily ate pizza on paper plates on the cement floor.

It was one of those moments where even though we weren't clean, doing things properly or neatly but we were having a blast. The girls haven't even asked to watch TV in TWO days. That's unheard of around here.

I went to take a hot bath by myself this evening and not 10 minutes later I had two silly girls in there with me. Splashing, playing and having a blast. I didn't have the heart to tell them I didn't want them in. Aaron looked at me like "is this ok" and I just smiled.

We sat on the couch tonight after Aaron got home and he read a bible story. Then somehow we ended it with singing Christmas Carol??? and the girls danced with musical instruments. It was a riot!!!

I'm not sure if this blog makes any sense but the last few days at home, playing with my sweet girls has been so nice. Its not normally like this. Normally there's fighting and I'm just making it until bedtime. But the last few days has made me so thankful to be home with them living this life. My imperfect, messy, simple life.

Love these days and want to hold them in my heart for forever.
