Winding Down

I’m sitting here watching my family and I’m truly happy.  The boys are lying on the couch all snuggled together, shirtless in boxer shorts and talking about Ninjago.  Erin is wandering around in a diaper playing with random toys. All are quiet and content.  A lazy summer morning.
So many moms can’t wait for school to start, for the kids to get back into routine and be gone for the day.  For me it’s different.   I always get sad when summer comes to an end.  As much as they can drive me crazy, I just love being with them.  I don’t find it to be a burden, being a mom is what I was meant to do. Oh it’s not all rainbows and unicorns over here, believe me.  The kids misbehave and I lose my cool, same as the next family. 
Sorry to be sappy but I’m seeing the years go by so quickly and my sweet little boys turning into young men.  I wish I could freeze time but it keeps getting better so I’m also excited for what’s to come.

  1. Totally agree. I still get that feeling when school starts, and my “baby” is 28. Awesome that you are appreciating the “moments”. True,you have many good times ahead.
