A Mom Moment

I love my kids. I would not trade them for anything. However, there are times...

This morning I thought I was the first one awake. I love those moments in the morning when the sun is coming up and the house is still silent. I made my bed and slowly got dressed. The sun was so bright and the sky was so clear this morning. I could not help but thinking about how lucky I was. ...and then I left my bedroom.

I opened my bedroom door. Isaac was sitting on the bottom step waiting to for me. Before you think that he could not wait to see me, let me tell you what he really wanted.

He could not wait to ask if he could invite his friend over so they could build up the ramp they had been working on in the back yard and he did not care what time Noah came over, but could I please make homemade pizza for lunch? Noah would want pepperoni and Isac would want sausage. If I did not have everything I needed to make pizza, we could stop at the store on our way to pick Noah up. Also, after lunch, could he and Noah make cookies all by themselves in the kitchen? He thought that oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries and pecans sounded the best. He knew we still had some of the pecans Grandma gave us for Christmas and we had plenty of oatmeal and cranberries. He had already checked. Did I want him to go take some butter out of the fridge for the cookies?

Alyssa was also up. She wanted to make book markers and what table should she work at? She was going to use the construction paper scraps unless I wanted her to use the scraps of scrap booking paper. Oh, and how many book markers would I like and do I have any color preferences?

Daniel wanted to know if he could build a fire tonight, what was for dinner and did I want to watch a movie after dinner tonight.

I went and pulled the coffee pot out and made a couple of really strong cups of coffee and decided it was a great day for the kids to go outside and play.
