A glance at our morning….

Today I felt like myself just a little bit.  I was not able to get out like I had planned this morning, due to the fact that their are not enough seats with seat belts in our car.  *We ordered a custom third row seat and it should be here in a few weeks.* 

So, my plans changed and I spent some one on one time with Ian and his new Jolly Maties Sticker Activity Book, while Sean watched a movie and Baby Erin hung out in the sling.  (At this point, I still can handle only 2 at a time.)  The morning went smooth, with minimal yelling, unlike my pregnacy days and yesterday to be honest.  We had no where to go and the boys can tell, they cooperate much better when they are not on a time schedule.  Ian and I had much fun learning all about Pirate Stuff.  Then, we all headed outside for a much needed snack.  By then, Baby Erin was all sleepy and I was able to lay her down.  The boys and I played a game of bouncy ball and had a little batting practice outside.  I had to duck a couple of times when Ian actually made contact with the ball!  Sean was too cute trying his best to hit that little ball. 

While we were outside I realized that I was having fun, I was not worried about what I was going to do next or what we were going to have for dinner.  I was having fun with my two boys and nothing else was more important at that moment.  Anyway, I just had the thought that mornings like this one are why I am a Mom and why I like it and I wanted to share!! 

** Don’t get me wrong, mornings are not usually like this.  They are typically filled with all sorts of chaos and not much peace.  But isn’t it great when things run well?**
