Simple Pleasures...

Things have been pretty slow around the house the past couple weeks. I was sick for a week or so with a bad cold and it was unusually cold for Texas, so the kids were great about finding their own entertainment for a while. It's amazing the imaginations that children have. I love to watch them create and imagine.

This was their space ship

Can you see Ella peeking through the hole???
I have been so grateful for my kids. They really are pretty good kids and I am lucky to have them. They really are at such a fun age, they listen, they are potty trained, they still take long naps, and I have so much to be grateful for. Their simplicity has made me more and more anxious to add a little gal to the crew. I know we will love her just as much, and I pray she is just as good of a kid as her brother and sister have been. I can't believe I am in the last trimester now. I am glad I have made it this far, and am so grateful that I have the chance to be home each day and watch my babies (or not so much babies anymore) grow. On a last little note, I am absolutely devastated to send Ella to kindergarten next year. I just want her home with me!!! I guess I still have 7 months to digest the thought! :(

Oh I know what you mean about feeling pretty content and happy with things at the moment. It's scary to disrupt the balance, but I am pretty sure you'll get back there quickly. I'm so excited for you! And it is crazy Ella will be in Kindergarten next year. I'm so happy to have another year with Thomas.

It was great to catch up yesterday! Thank you for this post on simplicity. That's what my children are teaching me as well. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy and keep me posted. Love ya!
