My Backyard

Today was an uneventful holiday Monday at the Stannix home, but there are a few events that I don't want to forget about today. Mr. Stannix is prepping for a big exam this Friday (we will both be SO happy when it's finished). He studied away from home all day. The kids missed him a tonne! He came home a little bit before dinner and asked me if he could take the kids out in the "B-A-C-K Y-A-R-D" for a "S-W-I-M". Of course I said yes! I was busy in the kitchen prepping a dessert and the break was much welcomed. I turned on some music while I mixed up the dessert and enjoyed a few songs. Soon I heard my children's giggles through the screen door to the backyard. I stopped what I was doing and immediately turned the music off. I peeked out back to see the three of them enjoying a water fight. Camilla was laughing like mad and Hyrum was even enjoying getting splashed. Their laughter was music to my ears as I finished stirring the dessert and placed it in the freezer. Even while Daddy was at the BBQ cooking dinner, Camilla couldn't help but sneak up on him with a container of water and soak his pants! She giggled and giggled, and Daddy was a good sport about it. I love that girl and her zest for life! And I love my Mr. Stannix and the efforts he makes to spend quality time with the kiddos.
