This week I am home with sick kids! Yucky! Ayden woke up with a swollen eye on Sunday which got worse by Monday, so I took him to the Doctor and he has Pink Eye.
Brielle also has been running a temperature and feeling dizzy, so I took her in today and she has an ear infection. No Good!
So as I have been stuck in the house this week it really makes me reflect on the importance of spending quality time with my kids. I know that I do not do a good enough job at this. Days get so busy with daily chores and errands to run that I forget how quickly time passes and it won't be long before they are all grown up.
I have done a lot of holding, cuddling and chatting with my kids this week and I love how amazing they are. I love listening to what is important to them and listening to the funny little things they say. I love teaching them the simple things like how to make a bed or how to sweep a floor. I love singing with them and laughing with them.
I really think that sometimes we get so busy we forget to slow down and take time to smell the flowers.
