Simple stuff

We played at the park.  Freeze tag and hide and seek.  Lots of giggling and fun.  We explored a 'secret trail' in the woods.  Mitchell got a little scared and wanted Mama to hold him.  We looked for tadpoles in a creek and made new friends.  We had McDonalds for dinner 'cause it was easy.  The kids had a donut for dessert.  Evelyn practiced her cartwheels.  Mitch built a tower with Legos.  We colored pretty pictures and Mitch taped one to a wall. I let the kids sleep in my bed and I snuggled with them til they fell asleep.  I went easy on myself.  It's ok not to have a healthy dinner once in awhile, to skip the normal bedtime routine and let the laundry remain unfolded for a day.  Both kids just wanted to be with me tonight.  Life is short and childhood doesn't last very long.  I chose to enjoy it tonight.
