Our weekends always seemed to be full to the brim of things going on. Down time LOL yea right what the crap is that, leisure time to us is when Kanyon takes a two hour nap. Come Friday, Paul has generally made a to do list with things needing accomplished in the two day window that most people consider a weekend. No matter how much we have going on or how much work needs to be done, we always make time for play. I immensely enjoy afternoon walks and trips to the dino park. If given the chance I think I could sit on a park bench for hours and watch my kids frolic and play. There is something about childhood innocence that I love to hold on to and embrace. It seems like in the chime of a clock we blink our eyes and our children have grown. I constantly look back wondering where has the time gone, you turn your head for two seconds and all of a sudden your child is a preteen. I wish that I could bottle up the moments watching my kids play at the park, helping with yardwork, or twirling in the warm rays of an autumn sun. I know one day I will look back and miss these moments but I do so knowing that I savored every last look, touch, and above all the vibrant words of "watch me mom."
When my kid says watch me mom there is generally a crash.
