Appreciation

It is easy to get caught up in the day to day annoyances of life. Snotty babies, whining kids, endless dishes, and not enough sleep can make any mom feel down on her luck. But when you read about stories like this or this, you appreciate that lovely life that can annoy you at times.

So, yesterday was about appreciation. We went to the park and enjoyed the sunshine and the borderline spring warmth.

We appreciated good friends...



We appreciated blue skies and swings...



We appreciated playing in the wood chips, and trying a few for a snack (some of us appreciated that one more than others)...



We appreciated gliding down the slide with siblings…



After dinner (which was about the only part of the day Mommy didn’t appreciate given Tess-a-Bess refuses to eat any baby food, but isn’t so hot on all types of people food, making for lots of screaming on baby and Mommy’s part), we appreciated a sunset walk…

And appreciated our scootering abilities…

And after everyone was safely in their beds, Mom and Dad appreciated J.J. Abrams and his ability to annoy the hell out of us.
