Today my house was a mess and my boys were begging to do some Easter crafts. I looked at the dishes on my counter, the table covered in left over cheerios from breakfast and sighed. One of the things I find most difficult about mothering is balancing the house work with the play. Together, we cleared and wiped the table. Finley lied at my feet and eventually fell asleep which took naptime off my to-do list. I scooped him up and tucked him into his bed while the big boys cut and glued. Once Ollie was down for his afternoon nap I picked up a pair of scissors and joined them at the little table. They were so proud of their creations! As I snapped pictures, Joe kept photo-bombing and laughing. We may have added to the mess in the kitchen, but it added joy to my heart.
