I think in the last few weeks my children and I have spent a little too much time together. Between the super hot days, vacation, long distance driving and the fact that I am at home with them everyday I think we have hit our wall. This morning was rough. So much so that I kicked us all out of the house and we went for a walk. I got everyone ready and packed them all away and out we went into the mist. Our luck with rain lately has been hit and miss so I really thought it would pass us over. We started and got about half way and it was still misting. We decided to turn around and then here comes the rain. We start to walk faster, I throw Paislee into the other side of the stroller and then I start running pushing the double stroller. When the oldest two saw me go they took off. So here we are running and our gentle rain turned into a downpour....DOWNPOUR! At this point I'm certain people are looking out their windows laughing. I know the post lady that passed us was smiling at us. No worries though, thunder and lightning were not present so no one was in danger. While we were running we all got to giggling then laughing. Running in the rain was fun, we were having a blast getting soaked and doing it all together. I took a moment and realized I'm making memories with these precious blessings. Not everyday is good and not every day is bad. Not everyday is paradise and not everyday am I nice. But its memories and that is what its all about.
Before...
After...
When we got back the kids asked if we could do that all over again. Maybe next time....
Cute! Too funny, I said the same thing about too much togetherness. I haven't been away from the boys in over month and am sharing a room with them for nap and night. A little break does everyone good:).
