Quality Time

I know that lately I have been a little more on the serious side of things and really that is not like me.  I opened the lid to my thoughts and feelings and ended up sharing more than I thought I ever would.  If you know me I am not one to share my feelings and I guess it takes starting a blog for it all to come flowing out. 
If everyone doesn't mind I am going to get back on track with where I originally thought I was going to go with this blog and that is simply sharing my kids and family with you.

This week has been a slow week when it comes to our schedule in the evenings.  We have been able to be at home two nights in a row.  I know that doesn't sound like much but trust me this is huge.  We are a family that works good when we have a lot going on, simply because when things slow down that is when my girl gets restless.  She needs activity.  When she is home she is constantly doing something and if the weather allows she is outside shooting baskets or kicking the soccer ball.  Weather permitting just means that it isn't raining.  Last night we had one of those free nights and both kids were just a little bored.  Somehow me and the kids ended up in my girls bed with the lights out just being silly.  My boy likes to play pillow shuffle and he loves to cuddle in close just long enough for us to get comfortable and then boom he is up and wanting to change spots with one of us.  Oh and he is smiling and giggling the whole time.  Sure this activity was not planned and wasn't by far the most exciting thing we have ever done but I love it when I get a moment like this with the kids.  Someone once told me that it isn't so much about how much time you spend with the kids as it is the quality of time you spend with them.  I was working full time when someone told me this and I totally agree with this.  You have to make the most of your moments and be willing to just go with the flow of things.  Last night I followed the lead of my kids and ended up with lots of hugs and kisses from both.
