This morning we woke up to snow. Everywhere. Being the first week of spring, snow's not exactly what we hope for, but we made the best of it. All of us got decked out in our snow gear and played outside in the backyard. We played snow tag and had snowball fights.
It's so easy to just send the kids out to play and enjoy the quiet inside the house when they are out. I'll admit it took several requests before I reluctantly went out and played. There was so much I could and should have been doing inside. But playing with them today was a pleasure and a reminder that the simple things are sometimes the most memorable and rewarding. I felt rejuvenated after playing with them. It was quality time and reminded me what is most important in motherhood. Time. The kids loved it. And so did Kenny and I.
