Clean Up!

Today was a total cleaning house day! Lately I have been rearranging my house, getting rid of stuff and basically Spring Cleaning. Today was a massive day of just cleaning!!

My two oldest kids are 6 and 8. They didn't have school today so they got to help me :) My two little ones went to playgroup from 8:30 till 3 today. So we got a lot done.

I am really tired but tonite is our scrapbooking night at the church so I am going to go. It's fun to visit and it really kills time :) Which unfortunately I am doing a lot of that lately!! When you are waiting for a year to pass by quickly, you kill time.

Normally, I wouldn't want my life to go fast. I enjoy every minute of it. But everyday that my husband is gone, my heart just aches more. My kids are truely a blessing because I can busy myself and focus on them. Times like tonite are good for the "grown up" side of me when I need to be around adults. But the majority of the time, I am surrounded by my beautiful little children who always remind me why I get up everyday!

Have you ever watched a sunset with a small child? The awe in their face and the questions they ask are priceless. My 6 year old asked me, "Mom, why is the sky pink when the sun goes to sleep, I thought the sun was a boy!" I told my son that the sky is pink when the sun is going to the other side of the world because it gets tired of being blue all day! Works for me and satisfied him!
