Looking back to the week after New Years when our boys were still out of school!
I hadn't planned ahead so well for them to be out all week and for some
it's like a two week vacation but for this family its more of a lesson
in responsibility!
I did take a day off after Christmas to make a couple day stretch with the boys,
but the other week this mom had a lot of work days.
There is nothing worse than leaving home on a day you would love
to spend at home with the family!
We certainly made the most of it and looking back it was definitely the week we were waiting...
While we waited we found some time to play Life, have you played the new version of Life.
I like our 80 version of Life better, but I took the liberty to ask a couple of sly mom questions
(that generally get me the eye roll) about my kids' dreams for their own life as we progressed thru the game. And it makes you do silly things that made us laugh and I got big teenage smiles.
That was priceless.
And we played Phase 10 a card game I loved as a younger one.
I had my cards but no directions, we had to google the directions, ha!
They loved it - and I won.
Oh and Joe lived in his one piece PJ all break long. Love.
And while we waited...
Joe invited his friend Evan over for day of fun. These two stay very busy.
Like they don't sit and play video games and they enjoy being entertained.
They asked for a craft for which I was NOT prepared but a Pinterest search later
we were making these ping pong ball launchers.
They were old enough to do their own cutting but not many pics cause we
were using a knife, ha!
We launched them at our handy targets.
And then while we waited we went to see this big boy
who was getting a very special title that day....
Love.
About to reveal his title...
Graham was about to become a big brother!
He was having a great day with his Nana and Papaw.
He was all about the attention.
Little did we know we were soaking up the last little bit
of this guy's babyness, ha! The very next day he seemed like a big boy!
(We all still know he just a babe)
And then He was off with Nana and Papaw to meet his new sibling,
who had just made their arrival.
And then we waited.
We knew the baby was here.
We couldn't wait to fine out if we had a boy or a girl.
So we prayed while we waited!
