Today has truly been a great day!
It didn't turn out exactly as planned. Rain kept us from riding our bikes to the park. Lack of brown sugar in the pantry and gas in the car kept us from making chocolate chip cookies. Risk took forever today and it kept us from playing Monopoly. Phog kept using the corner by the front door as his bathroom. Cameron flipped over a teammate at basketball and landed on his head on the gym floor.
We improvised! We watched a new movie from Christmas instead of riding bikes. We waited on Kelly to bring us some brown sugar and had cookies for dessert after dinner instead of an afternoon snack. Monopoly will be the first priority for tomorrow. Nothing can make Phog's actions positive. :( And, Cameron's injury is not the first; nor will it be his last.
Today has been a great day! I got to spend it at home with my children having fun and making memories. It is a blessing from God that I do not take for granted. Life is but a vapor and we need to be intentionally opportunistic to take advantage of every moment God gifts us with.
One gift from today came as the boys were washing dishes and I was putting fresh from the dryer sheets on their beds. Chloe was in the living room singing a song that she was making up as she went at the top of her voice. The song became monotonous as she repeated the same words over and over interspersed with "Trust me" and "It's not funny." I got out the video camera and taped her. I tried to be sneaky, but in our little duplex you just can't hide.
I'm not sure what tomorrow holds...besides Monopoly, but I know God will be working and I fully intend to join Him! How about you?
