Wonderful Spring Day!

Today has been such a great day!  The girls have been super good, the weather is awesome, and I feel fairly caught up on housework and laundry, which enables me to enjoy relaxing and just playing with the girls.  Payton has Tinley over to play today too, and it's been so much fun watching them play together.  It's funny because I tell Ryan, some days I feel like I can hardly catch a break. It seems like every second I turn around, someone needs something, I barely have time to run to the bathroom, let alone catch a shower, and no matter how much I try, the sink stays full of dishes, and the floor full of toys.  And then...there are days like today, where everything seems so easy.  The girls are happy and content, I'm able to enjoy some "me time" thanks to everyone deciding to nap at the same time, and my laundry pile and dirty dishes pile stay minimal.  However, I am SO thankful that God has blessed my life in this way.  Others have said it, but it is so true...the toys, laundry, and dishes are a great reminder that I have a family to love and care for everyday.  The challenging days also make me more thankful for days like today. The "easier," (for lack of a better word) days give me a chance to breathe a little, a chance to really reflect and thank God for all that He's given us, and a chance to simply marvel at who He is!! Feeling so thankful for today! :)
