A day in the life.

Life with two kids=never a dull moment. Case in point:

* I was getting Elijah dressed for school this morning and I couldn't understand why they would include such thick socks with a summer outfit. It wasn't until we got to school and one of his socks fell off that I realized that I forgot to take the cotton out of the toes. Oops.

* Harrison hates going to school this morning. The only time that he gets into the car without a fight is when I promise to stop at "Doctor Mark's" (the gas station) on the way. Mark - who owns the gas station - always comes over and talks to Harrison in the mornings, and Harrison is in awe of the cars in the garage. By the time we leave the gas station, he is grinning from ear-to-ear, and I feel like a hero - at least until I have to leave him at school and he starts crying, "Don't go, Mommy!"

* This afternoon, I picked the kids up after school. Harrison was playing outside in the sandbox with his friends. He comes up to me with a weed and said, "I picked this flower for you, Mommy!" My heart melted. On the way home, he asked if he could hold my flower, and I gave it to him. We get into the house, he sees hubby, and says, "I picked this flower for you, Daddy!" Traitor.

* The second I picked up baby Elijah this afternoon, he broke into the biggest smile ever. Made my day.

Now Harrison is in bed and Elijah is asleep on my lap, and all is well. Ready for more adventures tomorrow...
