In the midst...

... of trying to paint a door, make lunch, get a baby awake to eat, and finish mowing the lawn, I realized that I had been putting the boys off all morning. I really don't like when that happens. I am sometimes so concerned over my own agenda and task list, that I forget to just "be." A real weakness for me... and I know it's probably a weakness for all mom's, but it honestly is one of my bigger struggles as a person. I believe they are in the way of my "agenda" when they should be my agenda! Teaching, training, etc. and so much of that happens when you're spending time together and interacting. So... I came in and said... let's play a game! We played Candy Land - they loved it. We had M&M's. We drank iced tea. We let Wyatt quit the game when he was only two spaces from honestly winning... but he didn't care. So Henry won and invited me to eat the candy castle with him. Wyatt came too. :) We "ate" all the candy on the board!
