QUALITY time.

Today was a great day. I didn't worry about dishes, or laundry. Sure I think I did a load of one of those but, cleaning was not a big part of my day today. Usually it is, but not today. Today I spent a lot of quiet time, time alone and time with my kids. All three of us got a nap! That is awesome.

My day started wonderfully with my two littles sitting smack dab on top of me laughing at how funny they thought it was to wake mommy up like that.

We proceeded with the normal daily tasks of changing clothes, washing up, eating...the basics of life right. And then the whole day was just so quiet, that is so unusual with toddlers! I mean, I suppose for some it would have been considered loud but for me, who usually spends a rather crazy day getting everything done with two toddlers, things can get much louder than this. It was so peaceful and so needed.

We had some nice quality time and I really enjoyed watching them play so nicely today. Not many boo boo's or fights over toys, it was just so sweet.

All day long I got tickle requests, that is so funny. I HATE being tickled, I don't see why they like it so much. LOL

Larissa spent the morning dressing up, she insisted I get her something fancy out of the closet to go with her red tights. She looked ready for winter despite the 100+ degree weather we have been having. It was sweet though and she enjoyed it.

Gavin did some adorable things like taking his matchbox car and running it over a picture of a car that he insisted I let him hold (I was hesitant as it is a picture on one of Larissa's flash cards for learning her letters), but I let him hold it as he was just so thrilled with it. "CAR VROOM VROOM" those were his words.

Ah, I know, such simple little things but to me as a mom they all mean so, so much. To be here to take the time to just BE with them and enjoy our simple life here at home is such a huge blessing. They are great kids and I know I am in the right place here at home with them. Thank you Lord for such a great blessing!

To be able to sit on the couch visiting with my parents all the while my kids are learning about how to communicate, learning their letters and names of things with our flash cards, and just all of us enjoying being together. That is such a huge blessing.

So many great moments today I can't even think of them all right now. All I know is that at the end of today, all is right with the world. Goodnight all!
