We have been utterly home-bound, now for weeks. Between the cold outside and the colds the kid have inside, there has been no chance of us adventuring out. So, my life has been pretty much centered on playing with the kids and homemaking. While reflecting on the situation with a great friend of mine, who also happens to be the busiest woman in the world, she commented how nice it must be to really focus on the house and be present for my kids. Hmmm. Well, I hadn't really though of it that way. I've mostly been thinking, "Oh woe is me... I haven't left the house in over a week... These kids and cabin-fever will surely send me to the loony bin."
After some reflection, I've been thinking about my home life a little differently. Sure, life as a shut-in can get a little depressing if you let it. But, there is a lot to keep me occupied and PRESENT. The first of which are my kids. We have truly been enjoying more play time and snuggle time than we ever enjoyed when we were busy and social in Omaha. Little things like Georgia throwing her little chubby arms around my neck and the hysterical sound of Normy laughing at full tilt, really do make this all worth while. They have been discovering how to communicate with each other and us parents more and more this week. So, here are some photos of me stopping to smell the roses, and still managing to get my house work done.
Georgia and Normy Make the Bed
And help with the laundry.
Shoo, after all those chores, let's watch some Thomas and Friends!
