Some not so terribly distant Saturday I will wake up long after dawn and I will lay in bed missing being woken up at 6am and offered a plate of plastic food. One such Saturday I won't wonder through the house and see both kids sitting silently side by side on the couch while cartoons flash shadows on the wall. One such Saturday Mike won't emerge and offer blueberry waffles to a chorus of excited screams.
Today though everything was as it should be. The afternoon passed in a blur of toys, playdough, story books, PBS cartoons and nap time. I'm not sure what I accomplished...I know wedding related emails and decisions were priority. I know Mike worked in the shed. I know Isaac built a second level on his Lego mothership. We never left the house.
I woke up with my head buzzing with errands and to do's, but the day proceeded alot stiller and calmer than that. I think some days you just get the balance right. Play with kids, be productive, take a moment and start again. We'll be back to our weekly routines soon.
Who knows what the kids will learn or how they will grow by next Saturday?
