We have been enjoying lovely weather almost all week, but one day was very windy and overcast. We spent the morning curled up watching movies downstairs. After lunch Camilla found an old egg carton and asked if she could use it. I pulled out some scissors, glue and pipe cleaners and let her go to work.
I carted a few loads of laundry downstairs, picked up Hyrum's night time diaper from the hallway where he got dressed, and rinsed a few dishes for the dishwasher. In between time I would help cut the egg cartons and follow Camilla's lead. She and Hyrum ended up creating some pretty cute Caterpillars. I think Hyrum's is my favorite, with the big orange nose. I loved listening to them play and create as I worked close by.
I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be at home with my children on quiet afternoons such as this. Nothing amazing happened by anymeans, just the regular creating and cleaning. But I love being near them. I love kissing their heads as they cut and paste crafts. I love seeing their eyes light up as they discover something new and fun. And I love those little pretend voices of theirs as they play with their creations. I was so glad for a blah day turned great thanks to my kids!
