In the moment.

After another hectic week in life and with one more thing to do tonight we decided to step back and skip t-ball practice (sorry coach Steve) and spend a quick hour with each other before Pop's left for a few church assignments. May I say it was complete BLISS!

I spent the evening eating this: (Yummy organic beans and rice topped w/homemade guacamole, tomatoes and cheese)
Sitting here: (on the back porch)

Watching this: (our own t-ball practice)
Which turned into this: ("the two circus mans show" by buster and little buddy)
Brandon hopes their dreams of being circus performers quickly die off...or we might have a bearded lady as a daughter-in-law. Nevertheless we will still love her.

And this: (Buster doing his "poke" (aka pole) vaulting circus act)
And last but not least: (Little Buddy trying to "spray" us while pretending to be a circus fireman)

To sum it up: Enjoying the B-E-A-Utiful evening watching two monkey's use their imagination while sitting next to:Does life get any better? I think not. Today I'm grateful we let t-ball pass us by and we enjoyed our precious hour together.

p.s. If your wondering, yes, that is my two year old playing with a wooden stick which has a sharp pointy end. Dangerous? Maybe, but fun none the less. And if you think that's dangerous you should have seen the smile on his face the other day as he stood straight up in seat of the bike trailer yelling "we're gonna win" to his brother as I raced my bike down the street trying to beat Carson! That was dangerous...25 mph's in the back of a bike, no seat belt standing up. We had a blast.

That looks yummy! I must be hungry... 'cause my mouth is watering! :-) What a fabulous evening. I need to take more time to enjoy those precious moments with my family!

Those moments are ones to remember. Also - I think sometimes we get so caught up in being "too careful" and don't let kids have good ol' fun- especially boys. Of course if they were to get hurt, then we feel guilty. I have always let my kids just go wild at times. They learn what hurts them and what doesn't pretty quickly!

Love the post! You put a smile on my face as I read it! I love that you chose to relax. Sometimes it is hard to just choose to relax with the family cause there is So much to get done, but this was a good reminder that when we do that (relax with the fam) only good can come from it!!!! :-)Thanks
