There is something about the month of November that makes me reflect on my many blessings and think of all the things I am thankful for. It's hard to say what is the greatest blessing in my life, but I think the one that I have been the most grateful for lately is being able to stay home each day with my kids. It isn't easy being a stay at home mom all day every day, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Oh sure my house feels like it needs cleaning every five minutes, my floors need to be mopped after every meal, my laundry piles up and needs to be washed and folded, but all that will always be there! My kids are growing up way too fast and I need to slow down and enjoy those precious moments I have with them! I love the time I have to spend with my boys each day!
Like watching Caleb play dress up! I love when he sneaks upstairs in his spiderman costume and tries scaring me! Or when we dress up like a pirates and we pretend to sail in our ship across the raging sea!
He makes me laugh wearing those boots that are three sizes too big and a hat that has a huge hole in it, he doesn't even care! He loves it!
Joy! That's what he brings me! Pure joy!
What a character! He is pure entertainment!
And this little guy I can't get enough of!
Even when he climbs on my table and I have to get him off 100 times a day! He's such a cute stinker!
I think I've finally figured out his reasoning behind climbing on my table: he likes the view up there! He likes to be a part of everything and he feels left out down on the ground! I've found that if I pull a chair up by me while I am working in the kitchen Carder is a happy kid just standing by me and seeing what I am doing!
This was one of those precious moments I will never forget! Caleb and I were working on a craft together and all of a sudden out of no where he just starts crying! I said to him "Dude! Are you crying? What is the matter?!" Then in the saddest-sweetest voice he say, "If I get a wife I can't live with you anymore! I don't want a wife!" Oh break my heart! I almost started crying too! I'm not exactly sure where that came from, but I am so grateful Caleb loves his mama and wants to be with me! I know someday he will change his mind, but for now he will always be my little Caluba!
I wish everyday was snuggle in bed together and read books! It was so cute to find these two in bed together reading books while I got the other two ready for school! They are best little buds!
I feel very blessed to have these four darling kiddos call me mom!
Life is happy!
Life is good!
Life is good!
