Some Days.

When the stars align and everyone is happy and life is simple and full of such goodness and love.

When there isn't any specific plan to the day, but the day takes on an identity of it's own.

When at the end of the day, I can honestly say that it was a great day for all.

And when they do happen, I take a point to soak them all in and treasure each and every moment.

Pure Bliss.

When our morning started with an extra mouth to feed at the breakfast table, I should of known that this was going to be some kind of day.


And then kids find the coolest places to play and their imaginations run wild.
"Momma..we are in a plane and we are going to go somewhere special"  to now we are in "a train going to the city."




When cute little faces overwhelm this momma's heart.

When time is filled with showing her little brother all the cool things she can do, doing so with such patience and love and kindness.




And then midday, although this little girl wasn't ready for a siesta..


these 2 were.  Buckle up for SAFETY SNOOZE.


When just like magic, this little guy falls asleep and remains in his carseat for his entire nap. (yes, he still naps, in the garage..with a fan on these days.)


And while Rylan snoozes, the girls go outside and practice our summersalts, cartwheels and climbing on the swing....because it isn't cool enough just to swing anymore.



But...when the swing does call her name, she tries pushing herself to go "higher and higher."







And that's takes lots of energy, so a mid afternoon pick me up is in order.  Meet our fruit and spinach smoothie.. which is always met with a big, happy smile.






Rylan wakes up and after ample time to allow him to actually "wake up" ( it is not uncommon for this sweet boy to be quite the crab initially after his nap), Daddy is home and we make our way outside again for some playtime with markers....and Elmo comes too of course.


And time to play frisbee with Daddy..

And what is a summer dinner without a popsicle for dessert?

When Rylan spots the camera and immediately moves on over and gives his sister a giant big love squeeze.
( and it melts my heart every time).



When PJ's, teeth brushings, cuddles and a little show time are all that's needed before heading up to bed.


YEP....
Some days are just perfect, in every way.
(And I am so glad I started the day documenting the moments.)
