I'm feeling nostalgic lately. Maybe it's because my sweet friend Jenn just had her precious baby Annie. Or maybe it's because of Vicki, whose girls are just a few years older than Scarlett and I realize we will be in the midst of sports and sleepovers and activities in no time. Or...it's hormones. Who knows. What I do know, is that I want to remember today. We didn't really do anything all that special. We met Brody for a picnic lunch and then spent the afternoon playing outside enjoying this beautiful day.
I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination. I sometimes think it would be nice if I had better pictures to go along with these posts, but I've come to the realization that the kids won't care about the quality of the picture, they will only care that I took pictures. So, today, while Brody was working late I let the kids eat outside.
Yes, we had frozen waffles on paper plates. (did you catch the part about Brody working late?) Yes, there is a random dust pan under the table. No, it's not going to win a photography award. But...it's a memory. On the first day of Spring, we ate frozen waffles for dinner...
the kids played well together in Clark's room while I picked up a little...
and then, when Clark went down, Scarlett and I had a fun game of Go Fish. It may not sound exciting to you, but I think it was pretty close to the perfect day.

I thinks it sounds PERFECT!! They do grow so fast don't they?
Professional or not...those photos show happy kids who are obviously loved, so they are PERFECT!
Frozen waffles on paper plates...those are the sweet memories your kids will cherish! Love it!
Sounds like a perfect day to me to. You are right your kids will remember you letting them eat outside and playing games with them. They will cherish those moments and know they have an awesome mommy who loves them.
Looks like a lot of fun. You are a wonderful Mommy!
Glad you were able to relax and go with some spontaneous fun! As your old mom, here's some often given advice - take time to enjoy each moment with you kids and enjoy life. They grow up too fast! Getting away from routine is good for everyone now and then. Those "spur of the moment" fun times are the ones they will remember the most!
