Happy Tuesday everyone! Today felt like our first real taste of Summer. And it was glorious! The girls stayed up late last night with Memorial Day celebrations and gave me a very special gift this morning; as they slept-in well into eight o' clock {we've grown accustomed to Hayden crawling into our bed at precisely a quarter past six, so this felt heavenly}. Even though I'm not as sleep deprived as I use to be, It was still quite the treat to wake up on my own accord {hoping this is just the first of many}!
Speaking of treats, the girls couldn't wait to make their way to the splash pad this morning! It was bright and sunny, a beautiful day by all means {so, I totally understood their need to be outdoors playing}. I had lofty goals of being out the door before eleven, but I've come to realize that I'm not wholly in control of our schedules anymore. Miss Madison's internal clock {aka nap schedule} kind of takes precedence and dictates when & where we will be at any one point in time. I don't know why, but she just doesn't know how to fall asleep in the car without a good bout of crying {I'm desperately waiting for her to outgrow this}. I keep reminding myself that she will only be this little with these particular "needs" for so long and that it's okay if we miss an outing {or two} and are
What do you do to more fully enjoy "the journey" that is raising kids:)?
