This morning I made up a double batch of Salsa. It simmered on the stove for most of the day. I had to run into the grocery store for some cilantro and tomato paste to finish it off. The boys were wrestling and giggling down the grocery store aisles. On the way home they couldn't stop talking about force fields. "Mom has a special force field, just stay close to her on the way into the house and the bad guys won't get us." I played right along, which caught them by surprise, but then they shrugged and kept up the act. Their imaginations were running wild and they were totally invested in pretend play, shouting and using play voices. I spent the afternoon getting salsa into jars (a dozen more to go downstairs in the storage room) and made a small easy dinner.
Lily fell asleep while I quietly ladled the salsa into gem jars and music was playing in the background. I had to stop and stare at her for a little while because I can hardly believe how big she is getting! Her rolls, those chubby cheeks, her incredible eye lashes, the whole scene made my heart fill with love for this sweet girl!
