My little guys have pretty much been up with the sun every day this week. We had a pretty rough morning with such an early start. I fed them breakfast, looked at my crumb filled kitchen through tears and decided that curling my hair might make me feel a little better. By the time 8:30am rolled around I couldn't stand the arguing any more! Everybody was irritable and deaf to my pleas to stop fighting and do their chores. I decided that getting out of the house was my only other option. I called the children to get their shoes on, loaded Fin in the stroller, packed some raspberry muffins, and put the leash on the dog.
My mood was lifted by the wind in my hair, the beautiful flowers along the way, and Finley's giggles.
We walked towards the trail and kept walking until we felt better. We made it all the way to a favorite park and spent the rest of the morning playing.
They slid down the slide over and over again as the sun kissed their cheeks and the sand warmed their bare toes.
This guy enjoyed a little more independence!
We all went home feeling much more agreeable then when we left. I felt more at ease and able to tackle my daily tasks and the kids got along much better in the afternoon. Sometimes getting out of the house is all it takes!
