So I've been seeing a lot of this lately. Lauren has been quite mobile trying to keep up with her sisters. So needless to say now that I have 3 mobile kids my house has been pretty hard to keep up. I follow her around all day and she gets sticky fingers all over just like the other 2 do!
So the other day I was having a pretty hard day and I was anything but a happy mom around here. The girls were being noisy and I was trying to clean and it seemed like every time I turned around I had to get mad at one of them.
Then I decided to take out my camera and breath for a minute.
The girls were trying to be good so they went upstairs and got into the dress up stuff. They came downstairs and grabbed the brooms and played fairy princess cow girl running away from the scary monster baby.
for about an hour.
I love taking pictures because it's not just about trying to get the best picture you can...it's about a different perspective. It changes you! It makes you look at something differently.
It helps me see how cute Lauren is trying to keep up with her sisters.
It lets me see how good of friends Maren and Taylor really are.
Thank you girls for helping me see that some things can wait....
Thank you for all the giggles I hear and the never ending desire to play...
Thank you for you simple insight into this crazy world.
Thank you for your constant need for kisses and hugs.
Thank you thank you for always reminding me to live in the moment with you. Thank you for letting me in on your endless game of dreaming.
So to the sticky fingers on my windows and walls and everywhere else....I have some fairy princess cowgirls to save from the naughty baby monster...so for now you can wait!
