It seems like all we have done lately is go go go.... Today was a day that I really enjoyed!!
It was just the three boys and I...We slept till about 8, I got up made some chocolate chip pancakes and everyone cleaned their plates :) Yes even little Gavin enjoyed a few nibbles.
After breakfast I went out and filled the swimming pool up so the water could warm up. I decided that today would just be a focus on the kids kinda day and most of the housework could wait, with the exception of laundry and a load of dishes. So needless to say as I'm writing this the house is a disaster area and I am trying to debate on cleaning it tonight or in the morning.....morning wins!
We relaxed with some cartoons, did a few lessons (working hard for kindergarten), had a great lunch followed by yo gabba gabba (Gavins favorite) and then to my surprise ALL 3 kids took a nap at the same time with no fussing/back talking/crying involved. Therefore I caught up on a tv show and I myself entered into the nap zone. I did not sleep very well but I got a little rest....woke up had some snacks. New favorite snack: cinnamon graham crackers with peanut butter on them YUMMY
Then I decided, after 30 minutes of course, that we would go out and swim for at least an hour. I have decided that only real moms get into kiddy pools LOL.....the water was nice and Gavin had a blast splashing around with Lyric and Logan.
We then came inside put on some comfy clothes had some popcorn and played chutes and ladders and candy land.
I know the kids enjoyed mommy "taking the day off" and it was a pretty good day. It is days like today that make me realize what a privilege it is to be a stay at home mommy. I am so thankful and feel so very blessed!!
