Once In Awhile...

Once in awhile...
I declare a "day off"!

Sometimes...
it's NECESSARY.

It's IMPORTANT!

Have FUN with your children!
Enjoy the time you have!
The time is short.

Soon there will be quiet where there once was noise.
Soon there will be clean clothes in the closet and none in the hamper.
Soon there will be six foot tall men where there once were three foot toddlers.
Soon there will be leftovers in the fridge! ;-)

Soon...

SO...
Capture these moments.
They are to be treasured.
Gifts from HIS hand.

Play games.
Read.
Listen.
Enjoy.

Make memories.
Build bridges.
Tie the strings of their hearts.

Snapshots of our most recent "day off"...

Daddy surprised us with "Twizzlers"...

I took a little time for this...

And didn't do any of this...

But we did take time for some of this...

The boys did some of this...

And we all played some of this...

And then Emma and I helped the boys with some of this...

I'm thinking it's just about time to do it again! :)
What are you going to do on your next "day off"?
AND...When are you going to declare one?
