There is something wonderful about having a family. It isn't always easy. In fact some days it's down right exhausting, (that's why I started to drink coffee), but the joys far outweighs the trials.
As a stay-at-home mom there are days where I keep my kiddos home all day. I think these are Peyton's favorite because he HATES to get out of his pjs! Footie pajamas are his favorite and being naked is a close second. He is working on his potty training which has its ups and downs. Oh but he loves getting his chocolate afterwards!
Peyton loves doing puzzles, painting, writing in his Blue's Clues Notebook, playing in the sink with dishes, reading books, and watching TV on our phones. He also loves playing with his sister. He 'roll back' (rolls on his back) with Sadie and 'jum jum' with her when shes in her jumparoo. He is concern for her when he is eating and she isn't. He is also super understanding when I have to put her down for a nap.
When it is warm outside we spend it drawing with chalk, playing on the driveway, drive his cars, play in our car (he has loved that since he was tiny) and of course 'slide' and swing.
I try my best to have the kiddos nap at the same time so that I get some time alone. I feel like it's pretty important for my soul. :) I'm doing a Beth Moore study at church so I try to catch up on that during nap time, tidy/do dishes/ or whatever random housework and then usually end up with some cookie dough and watching parenthood or the voice.
Days at home aren't glamorous. But they are wonderful. I am so grateful to be able to grow and learn and play alongside these two cuties!
