Did you enjoy this 3-day weekend?? If only all of them could be! We had beeeautiful weather...the stuff that makes you want to bottle it all year long!We spent a lot of our Memorial Day weekend outside watching Carlos build the sandbox, he had cleared an area for back in October! After 17 hours of hard work, 64 fifty-pound bags of playsand and LOT of "little" help from Carlos' shadow, Landon...it's done!! Landon loves it, Carlos is proud of it and Mommy is glad to have a bit of a babysitter for the times when she needs to make dinner or take a phone call.
We did have to come up with a few distractions, while Landon was waiting for the box to be built...so enter, Shaving Cream!! An ol' favorite around this house!On another note, funny story. Landon's sitting at the table eating a waffle. He says I need "budder". Butter? ...."No, Mommy. Bubber!!" I say again, 'Butter'? And exasperated sigh follows from Landon and he musters up an R...and says, "A BRR-OTHER". Ugh. hmmm...about that one. I replied. "I don't have one of those. But I have some syrup. Want some maple syrup for your waffle?"
Finally, I heard a new song this weekend. Loved the lyrics. It said, "Life is not about how many breaths you take....but how many moments take your breath away". Isn't that the truth? For me...it's the little stuff that leaves me breathless. Like watching my husband work tirelessly to build something with his own hands for his son. And watching my son spend all weekend, just trying to be like his Daddy. I am blessed this Memorial Day.
