Daily Diary – August 3 2011

I must admit that legos are one of my all-time favorite toys. My six year old loves playing with them.

My two-year-old loves to join in.

And even steal his creations.

Which leaves him with “It’s not fair!!” face.

The little boy runs away and makes faces of his own. There’s crying and yelling and sometimes even a bit of shoving (which I get seriously mad about and shut down right away.)

But then within minutes they are playing together and laughing again.

Showing me their stickers, which they lovingly put on all their clothes.

And they are so cute. So edible. I think my lucky lucky stars that I get to spend my days, my minutes, my life with them.

Jake’s making dinner for the kids right now and I am relaxing and organizing a bit. I have some ideas brewing for tonight but many of them involve watching TV and being on the couch!

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for no more gray hairs. Woot!
2. I am grateful for feeling calm. I rarely ever feel calm. I’m hanging on to this as long as I can.
3. I am grateful for a difficult decision I made today. I don’t mean to be cryptic, it wasn’t important what it was, just that I walked away from something I’ve been struggling with. I am a people-pleaser and have a really hard time disappointing anyone and I am very loyal to keeping my commitments so it’s hard for me to walk away from things but today I did and I am grateful I did it.
