"There is no more — a higher calling — than raising children who are kind, who live with grace and who are going to be generous human beings in the world. There isn’t anything greater than that."

Tuesdays

Tuesdays aren't normally my favorite day.
In fact, I'm not too crazy about them.
They're kinda blah, mundane.

Let me paint you a picture:

I get waken up by the (insert bad word here) gardener every
Tuesday morning way TOO early
the house has definitely been cleaner
laundry is piled up AGAIN
the rest of Ella's breakfast is still on her high chair tray but mostly on the ground
coffee is getting cold
it's way too hot outside
limbs would actually be given up for a few extra hours of sleep
the second round of breakfast is being requested by the newest riser (Charlie)
who wants cereal but Ella ate them all
tantrum ensues
tears too


get the picture?

So, when I pull out a little gift I bought for them, a bucket full of plastic play food,
peace and laughter finds its way into our Tuesday afternoon and
it becomes a day I will likely remember forever.
I love seeing the imagination come out of my littles.
I love the ideas they come up with, the stories they tell...
 I love to spend time, just sitting on the floor next to them
watching them play, interact, pretend.

Hamburger? Ice cream cone? Eggplant, anyone?

oh, and climbing!

Happy Tuesday!

I'm off to my girls first dance class ever.
I think I'm more excited than she is...ha.
