Had one of those great days were you have a huge list of things to get done…and…I’ve just about got everything checked off. Feels so good to do laundry and cook a real dinner! As we sat and ate dinner tonight a thunder storm rolled in. It was so fun to sit and watch the storm outside as we sat at the table. Abby loved hearing the thunder! Summer has a way of just throwing me off schedule. When I need to do housework…I think…oh, it’s so warm out…let’s go to the pool! So it was nice to have a bit of an overcast day, so I could actually get some things done.
We hung our first pictures up in our basement…finally! Andy has been so cautious about putting nails in the walls. I don’t blame him he has put so much work into finishing our basement, that it does seem a little cruel to be poking holes in the walls. We also put up some vinyl lettering that looks really cute. So pleased to be making the basement feel cozy and inviting. We also had a LOVE SAC in perfect condition given to us that Andy and Abby totally enjoy! Abby finds it to be the ideal landing spot for when she jumps off the couch…Andy loves to snuggle up in it and throw Abby in it…and I personally think it’s monsterously huge and know someone’s goting to hurt themselves playing on it (but secretly think it’s the most heavenly place to take a nap).
As Abby gets older she reminds me more of me every day. Not to sound self centered, but to sound amazed at the similarities between us. Her love for jumping and having fun, to enjoying the lighting and thunder, she could just watch for hours. Maybe this is what being a kid is all about, and I am still just a big kid?? Me.
Hee Hee! She is alot like her daddy. No one needs to grow up. Life is about having joy! Being young and carefree is the best!! It sounds like you all had a carefree moment together. That is what life is about! Enjoying your family and feeling peace. I love the quote you put up. Thanks for sharing!
