I have a few “moments” to share this week.

First, when I took Kiahna to preschool one day this week.  I had her lunch bag packed and in her back pack.  She wanted to take it out and hold it.  I told the teachers, “I will just take it with me, because it is for after preschool.  We are going over to the elementary school to eat lunch with Lucas."

Both teachers, almost in unison, said, “Oh, I miss that!”

I didn’t have my camera to take a picture of us eating with Lucas, but I treasured the moment just a little more, knowing that these days, with this one, are fleeting.

My second moment…

Seventeen vs. Fourteen…

Football in the kitchen…

James refused to let Zach through the opening…

I don’t know how long it went on…

I got tired and went to bed…

James will be in trouble when he no longer has the weight advantage.  Zach has muscle.  And James is training him well!

I AM going to miss THIS!  (annoying as it can get after awhile!!)

******************************

I admit to writing these first two last night.  I was going to post it as is, but I had some things happen today that I have to add. 

As much as I wish it wasn't true, there are so many times that I just can't imagine that I will ever miss the things that happen.  This morning was one of those times.  We were home all day, so (even though it isn't Tuesday!) I decided to work on the kitchen cupboard doors.

I took off the hinges and the handles.  Took the doors outside.  Sanded and Painted them.

I was growing increasingly irritated with Jadon and Kiahna.  They just wouldn't go play!  They wanted to be right where I was.  They wanted to ride their bikes around the table.  Around the saw horses!  They "couldn't" go to the sandbox or the swing set because there may be a bee!  I assured them that I had sprayed those bees (wasps, actually) a month ago.  I didn't think there were any more. 

They wouldn't. 

They dug a hole in the yard though.

Then Kiahna almost sat on the bench (with a wet door on it!). 

The final straw was when Jadon turned on the hose!  Kiahna got wet, the doors, THANK GOD! didn't. 

I was thinking about this post while I was working and going crazy with their presence!  I know I will regret not enjoying this moment today.  But, I really want to be able to do something without them wrecking it or standing on top of me while I try to do this.  Why can't they just go play?  Why does this bug me like this?  Why can't I enjoy this? 

I ended up yelling at Jadon for the water incident.  Sending him to his room.  Deciding I was done painting for now.

And then they went off to play...

Is that some law of nature?  Do what mom wants AFTER she gives up on what she wanted to do??  (yes, Kiahna has her shirt off)

Go ahead, tell us the moments that you have a hard time believing you will miss...
