Sweet Moments, and a little mayhem from me...

So yesterday was one of those days that I realized we would be home all day, again, for the sixth day in a row, and we will still be home all day for the next few days, and we were going to do something fun if it killed us. So I had the great idea that we should have an art gallery. I crafted an "easel" by putting a table leaf across two chairs, covered them with towels to avoid paint spills, and walla! A perfect spot for my little artist to do her thing. My lovely 4 year old created about 6 paintings, and a few colored works of art, and my almost 2 year old adorable son did one page with two crayon colors on it, and then he decided what he really wanted to do was try to drink the cup of paint rinse water that Raegan was using... so it was snack time for him instead of art time. ;) After the paint dried, we hung up the works of art on the livingroom wall to form an "art gallery" so Raegan could give Dad an official tour of the gallery when he got home from work. So fun. Of course we took a ton of pictures, to remember this sweet moment.

Now while Raegan was working so hard on her pictures, I put on some fun music for Noah and I to dance to, and we had a blast. He let me hold him like a baby and dance around the kitchen and sing Ella Fitzgerald to him, and he hung on every note. One of those moments that you want to tuck away in your memory and never forget. :) Then "Butterfly Kisses" came on, and Raegan wanted to dance with me to the song. Now this song always gets me choked up, but this time, by the end of the song, after Noah had insisted he wanted to dance with us and Raegan stomped off because she only wanted to dance with me, I was on the brink of SOBS. All out SOBS because I cannot bring myself to even think about sending Raegan to kindergarten, much less realize the fact that someday she is going to get married to some cutie guy and never come home again.

I think that the more I stash away all these sweet memories, the more I become attached to my sweet kids. And then I'll have to let them go. But that's what I signed up for. That's what we all sign up for when we become moms. ok I'm almost crying again. It's probably the pregger hormones. My sweet husband and I decided it would be a good idea to add to the mayhem (AND sweet moments, of course!) and have another one. :) We are so excited!!!! But of course, life is just going to get crazier, and we have a lot of unknowns in our life right now, and let's be honest that's a little scary for me, since I like to have things all planned out. But God is in control. At least someone has a plan here!

So it's Friday now, I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful first day of the weekend!!!
