Fun Mom

Greg is out of town this week at a conference. . so, I'm trying to be a fun mom! This is hard for me sometimes!! I get in my mind, things that NEED to be done and focus on that more than just playing with the kiddos. Knowing that I'd be a bit more overwhelmed without my awesome hubby's help, I decided to plan out the fun. I'm writing about it now, b/c I need to remind myself how fun the kids can be as they are currently NOT taking their naps or cleaning up the mess they made WHILE not taking their naps. . aagh!

We've had a crazy week with lots of fun, but my one crowning FUN moment was last night.
Brayden came through my room to go potty at 11:30 last night. He asked quickly and sleepily, "Can I watch diving with you?". I answered that diving wasn't on and I was watching swimming. . then, in a moment of rarity I decided to be a fun mom. I invited my 4 year old into bed with me to watch the Olympics and headed to the kitchen for cookies and milk. We stayed up past midnight eating, watching gymnastics and swimming in amazement and cuddling. I even let Brayden sleep with me last night. He loves that!

Tonight, we are heading to parent's house for swimming (but they are out of town) and pizza. I think I may let Gracie stay up late tonight. I'd like to do that with Davis too. . but, with no nap. . that's not happening!

Here's to praying that I can stay fun for the next few hours. Greg will be home tomorrow afternoon and I feel myself fading. I'm trying to REALLY stay in God's Word this week as I sure do need His help!
