A Work Perk
I won't lie and tell you there isn't a little piece of me that hates when I have to finish up some work after the kids get home from school. My absolute favorite part of the day is watching them come running off the bus and then walking home with them as they share tid-bits of their day.
But, once we're back in the house, I usually have a few things to wrap up before I can give them some serious Mommy-time. Lately, though...I can't help buy notice a little "work perk" that has popped up somewhere between the bus stop and dinner...
My little munchkins are having a blast playing together! Yesterday the giggles filled the house. It was a perfectly happy afternoon, capped off by sweet little notes they wrote to each other right before dinner. It was about 100 tiny treasures all rolled into one.

Plain and Simple
Levi just ran across the street for a playdate with his friend. All. By. Himself.
I stood at the door and watched his little camo jacket bounce across the street - his hood was up because it is freezing out and he is a good boy.
Right before he left I helped him put his shoes on and told him I would miss him. His response, "Yes. You'll definitely miss me."
Once his shoes were on he took a couple steps down the stairs, turned around, gave me a sweet little dimple smile, then threw his arms around me for a kiss and hug. Oh my word. That boy just steals my heart. Plain and Simple.

Eden's Carnival
Almost two months have passed since Eden's 6th Birthday Celebration. This post falls into the "better late than never" recap of Eden's happy day...
We pulled out all the stops for a backyard Carnival fit for a bearded lady! With a couple of months of build up, Eden was super excited when the day finally arrived. She loved having all of her family in town, watching the party come together, and then celebrating with her friends. It was such a happy occasion!
So, my little piece of paradise is now 6-years old. She has lost teeth, learned to tie her shoes, can ride her bike with one hand, has started to read, has a smile that lights up a room and is still full of all the spunk and spirit that she brought with her into this world. Basically, I love every little thing about her. Even though a part of mommy will always think of you like this:
I hope you know how very proud I am of the little lady you are growing up to be! I couldn't imagine a more perfect you. Mommy loves you...to Pluto and back.

P.S. There is absolutely no way I can post about Eden's party without including the following:
I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to my family for pitching in to help gets things set up on the big day! Even Mom's encounter with a golf ball size spider didn't stop her from lending a helping hand. They all did such an amazing job with the decorations, frosting the cake, blowing up over 300 balloons, helping with the games, taking pictures, etc. I am one blessed girl to have such an amazing support system. From the very bottom of my heart...Thank you, Thank you!
