sounds of play...

We are all home sick today...for the third day in a row!

All four of us are on antibiotics, 3 with strep and Jax with an ear infection!
The house gets torn up, but it really has been a blessing, a chance to recharge. Since school started, I have been struggling with my lack of organization and feeling of over-commitment to everything but my children and my organization project! Though these three days have not been very productive and I have not accomplished any of the many house projects on my lengthy to-do list, they really have been wonderful! I have done some reading and refocused my priorities... does my house have to be perfect? do I have to be perfectly organized? does it matter that the pile on my desk is never ending? does it matter that the upstairs of my house looks like a tornado just came through? nope

What does matter is this time with my sweet babies, they will only be in this stage for a short time and I should really soak in every moment and every sweet sound. And what sweet sounds they are...their made up words, fabulous giggles, and silly songs!

Today they have had a picnic on my bedroom floor,
complete with a stuffed animal sandwich that Jax was working on!

Now they are at "Disney Orld" and there are lots of people there along with "Amu" (Shamu)
and "Lightning the Queen"! Oh, to be that creative again!
