The greatest gifts in my life



Today made me realize how awesome my kids are! I took on the great adventure of shoveling the foot and a half of snow from our driveway, cursing under my breath as I made it to the four feet of snow that the snow plower piled in front of our driveway. This is no exaggeration - in fact, there may have very well been more. Cayden kept the mood very playful as he threw snowballs at me and kept trying to get me to eat the soot colored snow....he didnt like it, so he wanted to know if I had the same opinion.
Tonight, as I sit here unable to move, its nice to know that Kailee is perfectly content with me just smiling back at her because the very thought of having to get up and do anything more makes me want to sob like a child.

While being a stay at home mommy is by far one of the most difficult tasks I have taken on, its nice to have days like today when I can step outside of the choas and reflect on how truly blessed I am to have great kids! Please remind me of that tomorrow when I feel frazzled from chasing Cayden around with Kailee in one arm and a load of laundry in the other...well, that is, if I am able to move tomorrow!
