After playing with playdough for a good hour, we cleaned it all up and then went for a walk/bike ride to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having! While out walking and Zach and Kali riding their bikes I realized that they needed to be wearing bike helmets and how horrible I am of a mom for not making them wear them before. So I decided to make it fun and go the Target all together and pick out helmets...that way it would be extra special and they would be more inclined to wear them if they picked them out themselves! Right?! Well, it was a success and they love their new helmets! In fact it was nearly impossible to get them to take them off for naptime! Here's a few picks of them sporting their new helmets.
Moral of the story is...It's so great to drop everything and take time to spend a quality fun day with your kids! I feel like so many days go by where I am so busy with keeping up with the house, laundry, groceries, cooking, running errands, making it to appointments or playdates or preschool, or talking on the phone, that I forget what is most important in my life. My children are my pride and joy and I forget how much fun they can be! I have to say that we really had a fun day together and I'm sure they enjoyed having a mom that actually played with them and paid attention to them. I'm sure you all have had days like this where it hits you...we live very busy lives and we forget how much our kids just need a mom to play with sometimes. Needless to say, I had a very fun day with my two SWEET kids and I LOVED every minute of it! I need to remember to do this more often!
