Snowstorms and Bubble Baths

I’ll admit it. My house is a mess. There are dishes to do. Laundry to fold. Floors to clean. I need to reorganize the toys for the hundred millionth time (because honestly, where the hell does all the junk come from?) and sort through my growing pile of quilting scraps.

But all that can wait.

We’re falling in love again today.

With tiny toes.

With little bodies that are learning to jump.

With bath time and doggies and foam tubby letters.

Dough is mixed to make cookies later. Dad’s hockey game is canceled so we get to look forward to a bonus night of playtime. Just the four of us (well, ok five if you count the dog- my Mom would count the dog).

My kids are asleep right now. Blissfully cozy. Hopefully dry (no more pull ups for Lilly!).  I’ll get to my house work- in a minute. I’ll get off the couch and get something done- in a minute.

For now I’ll just enjoy our new snow memories. Gracie blinking in the wind. Lilly telling me to listen to “no sounds in the woods!” Watching Lilly march around the driveway very carefully stepping her little booted feet into my footprints.

Have a happy, happy, friends. Stay warm- or go get wet. But enjoy it, all the same.
