Mmmmm - Sunshine!

Now I know how a cat feels, laying in the sun, oblivious to all around. I put the kids down for their nap yesterday - I had an extra kiddo, one that I was babysitting - and decided to sit on the front porch and read for a little bit while the sun was out. I got all cozy on my chair with a blanket and my book and got all of two pages read. And then I put my head back to let the sun warm my face and I just dozed. Not fully asleep, because I could still hear the occasional car drive by or the neighbor doing some work in his garage. But it was a nice little rest, with the fresh air blowing gently while the sun warmed my cheeks. It was a little bit of Heaven in the middle of the day - very nice!

And it was nice after the destruction that occurred before lunch. We got home from preschool and I told the kids - just go down in the play room for a few minutes while I get lunch ready. Seriously, it was all of 15 minutes. But in those 15 minutes, my beautiful children completely dismantled our three-section laundry sorter, decided to use the plastic poles as swords, and broke at least one pole and cracked another. 15 minutes! Yikes! Boys can be so destructive. I had forgotten to turn the downstairs monitor back on when we got home, so unfortunately, I was oblivious to it until I went downstairs to gather the troops for lunch. Oh, boy howdy - it's a good thing it was a relatively inexpensive laundry sorter! And I can only imagine what it will be like when they turn into teenagers!
