Today I had a million things I wanted to accomplish during Bryce's naptime, so of course it was shorter than normal. :-) When I heard him crying, my first response was frustration that I would not finish my projects. Then I was able to take a step back and decide that I was going to make the most of it. I keep thinking about finding more joy in each moment, and not being so stuck on "my" plan.
The weather was beautiful, a little chilly, so I scooped Bryce out of bed, threw a jacket on him, made Emily change out of her princess nightgown for warmer clothes, and we headed to our local park. We picked up a few friends on the way. It was so much fun! I even had Dallin dropped off there after school so that he could play for a while. I don't always make the best Mommy decisions, but this is one I am glad I made.

You're are great mom Kelly. Thanks again for taking my two little monsters with you.
Look at the happy face on that cute boy! He must have the best mom on the planet. :) You are a good mom, Kelly. You really, really are. Your kids are so lucky.
Hey Kelly!!! I had no idea you were blogging! I found you from Erin's blog by total accident! SO glad to see you blogging. Have a great day (:
You are a great mom, Kelly! And a great friend--thank you for your help this morning!! You did NOT have to do that!! (And I hope I didn't make you too late to the preschool teacher appt.)
I bet you had more fun too! I chose to play trains this morning instead of miscellaneous other projects that needed to get done.
My book came!
I loved this posting. It reminded me of what President Monson said "Find joy in the journey" You are an example to me!
