gratitude- the day before the day before it's done.

tooooo busy, with his brother's neon Theraputty, his hot chocolate, and the PBS kids app on the iPad.  Too busy to smile... love the chocolate on his cheek.  

Too busy smelling? feeling?  contemplating life in the perfect sunlight in his sister's room, to smile- or taste the luke-warm chocolate that I put in his cup... eventually he tried it :-)  since the majority ended up back on the counter I'm going to guess it wasn't his favorite, even though he LOVES chocolate in it's solid form.

Toooooo busy matching momma's beads to her panther sweatshirt, climbing the changing table, stealing her brother's lukewarm cocoa... too busy growing to smile right now, momma.  



I'm so thankful for this new job.  for the time it gives me at home with my babies.  for the reminders to find joy and amazement in the little things- the sweet smudge on the cheek, the sunlight on his beautiful blond hair, the sideways ocean blue glance and chocolate kisses.  
I know that where we are right now.... it's fleeting.  and some of the very hard, very sad.... it will pass, and quicker than I might think.  I know that some will stay.  always.   I am grateful for the sweetness in the small moments.  


really... I warned him.  You see how high my eyebrows are??? Representing with my Walk for FX shirt- this year is the 10th anniversary!!! wowowowowow! 
Stats
1. Sweat time -70 minutes- volleyball.... we lost.  all games. yep.  
2. Calories burned- Some where between 200-300.  My heart rate monitor doesn't work so well when I attach it on my shoe- big bummer because my last one still tracked perfectly from it's perch atop my laces!!! 

while the kids had hot chocolate, I mixed a via packet with a cocoa packet and 10 oz hot water- delicious!!! 

Look around
There's no one but you and me
Right here and now
The way it it was meant to be
There's a smile on my face
Knowing that together everything that's in our way
Were better then all right

Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like there's nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
I'll be here every step walking between the raindrops with you

Take me now
The worlds such a crazy place
When the walls come down
You'll know I'm here to stay
There's nothing I would change
Now were back together
Everything that's in our way
Were better then all right

Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like there's nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
I'll be here every step walking between the raindrops with you

There's a smile on my face
Knowing that together everything that's in our way
Were better then all right

Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like there's nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
I'll be here every step walking between the raindrops with you
