Going to miss this ~Life Changing Experiances

2 Comments

An alarm rang on my phone.

I looked down to see what I was supposed to remember and smiled.

It said, “Appreciate the little things”.

My reminder every Monday morning to look for something in my day to remember, to document, to cherish.

The only thing was, that morning I was looking at this.

And a lot of this…

I was with my boys as they experienced the Grand Canyon for the first time.

I did not need the reminder that day.

I was cherishing every moment.

Look for a moment with me today.

Something precious and fleeting, little clothes in the laundry, little hands in yours, or maybe sharing in a first experience.

They are all beautiful.

I am going to miss this ~Make believe

I painted a mask on his face because we did not like the mask that came with his new robin suit.

I am odd that way.

It needed to be complete!

He was too busy making faces at his reflection in the window to look at me.

Jedi knight Luke Skywalker…

He wanted to wear his black pajama bottoms and cape everywhere!

My husband made him Thor’s hammer!

So of course he was calling down lightning all day.

Cutest Robin ever.

One day they will be too old to pretend.

I will cherish every cape, mask, weapon, and pair of tights while they are here!

What moment do you want to remember today?

Look around your house in a different way today, look for things that are fleeting.

Let them make you smile.

I am going to miss this ~Decorating the Tree

4 Comments

Decorating the Christmas tree was a big deal when I was growing up.

We would gather around and wait anxiously for my mom to hand us an ornament to hang on our freshly picked out tree.

Our favorites were the ones we knew were ours.

The one with a picture of a cute baby on it and our name under it.

Or the one with babies first Christmas written on it and our birth year.

Knowing I will not always have little hands so happy to help decorate the tree I decided to give them free reign.

My youngest said the ribbon needed to be in a pile to keep the tree warm.

They were so happy to hang every ornament.

So many memories wrapped up in each one.

One day I will have a perfectly decorated tree.

The beads will be hanging nice and neat, not sagging down.

The ornaments will be all over and not in one spot.

What a sad little tree that will be.

I will enjoy my tree of today and the little boys that helped me decorate it.

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

To me my tree is perfect.
