Cleaning and Scrubbing...

We all know of that poem that says something like cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow, but children grow old much to our sorrow...and so on and so forth. I agree with this to a point, but then there is that point when tomorrow comes, and if you don't get that cleaning and scrubbing done, you will be classified as a slob or even worse, a hoarder. And we don't want that now do we?! I am very much an easy going, slower paced mama, and I love to just sit around with my kiddos and play, and talk and read and sing and dance and teach and...but these days, I don't have an over abundance of time to be slower paced. I am trying to find a balance between caring for and spending purposeful time with my children, keeping our home, and rest for me. It will probably take years of practice, but this is something I strive for.
 
Yesterday Aaron was off from work and home! We decided that cleaning and scrubbing could wait until tomorrow (now today :)). We decided to have an enjoyable day and soak up time with our children. God gave us gorgeous weather to help us enjoy our day even more! Here are some pictures of our day, and also some others.
 
 Say WHAT???!!! This is one of many reasons we
are potty training Jason!
 
 Posed, but oh so Precious!
 
 Brothers
 
 One beautiful day last week we went
for a nice walk.
 
 Tummy time if you will :)
 
 Giving me attitude (of the good sort).
The crossed arms also come with another
form of attitude, of the not so good sort.

 Breakfast at THE IHOP ; ) on Aaron's day off.
 
 Bethany Paige and her beautiful grin!
 
 First time at a park, loving the fresh air (I
think they are loving it anyway!)
 
 "do I have to STOP playing for a picture?"
 
 "yes, yes you do!"
 
This is fun!
 
Gideon Michael and his sweet grin!
 
 Looking cool!
 
Just beautiful!
