Finally Spring Break came through with some nice weather

As I sat in the kitchen, both overseeing my daughter's lunch and watching through the window at the boys playing in the backyard, I was thankful for the much needed sunshine and the few moments of relative peace it was affording me.

Suddenly, in walks the five-year-old (how is it possible that I have one of those?), breaking me from my trance.

Jackson: "Mom, I've got good news and bad news."

(where does he get this stuff?)

Me: "Okaaaay."

J: "The good news is that I made you a circle of X's. And the bad news is that Cooper dumped out all the chalk."

Me, continuing to sit right there. "Okay. Thanks."

J: "Aren't you coming?"

Me: "Oh, you want me to, well of course you do, yes, okay, I'll be right there."

I just keep reminding myself that there will be a time in the not-so-distant future where my presence will not be requested quite so often. I have a feeling I'll miss the chaos when it's gone.
