I have another craft that we did over the past couple of weeks to share with you all, but right now I just want to take a minute to reflect on how nice it’s been to just be home with my family. Matt snapped this picture on Saturday morning (my expression reflects my general 7 AM stupor and has nothing to do with my mood as I was super-elated to be snuggling my kiddos). The kids had just gotten up and they were thrilled to be able to hang around the house with us. We made breakfast and just hung out together.
I love all of our travels. We made amazing memories in NYC and Nashville (and definitely on the way HOME from Nashville) and on our camping trips, but they are no less wonderful than the ones we make at home over Saturday morning cartoons and pancakes. Or listening to music in the evenings while we make dinner and eat pickles (the designated pre-dinner snack at my house).
So it’s been my goal this week to have a nice normal, routine sort of week. We’ve planned nice healthy at-home dinners for each evening. We’re doing laundry and small projects. Last night I purged a ton of Tabby’s size 3T (and some lingering 2T) clothes with her help. We spent some time contemplating the evolution of Ben’s room – he can now climb INTO his crib, but uncharacteristically refuses to climb OUT (yay!). It was definitely nice.
But of course, we’ve been at home two weekends in a row now, so I’m pretty sure we’re going camping this weekend. You know … one last hurrah. Seriously. We can’t help ourselves.
