Usually the afternoons are a rush of homework, snacks, practices, dinner and then bedtime. And sometimes (ok, more often that I'd like) several of us are grumpy about it all. Today as I was cleaning the kitchen, I looked out into the living room and instead of just glancing at the kids and thinking ahead to the next task, I really saw them and it hit me that those little people and those piles of laundry are not always going to be there. I just loved seeing it. Silly as it is, the picture is such a snapshot of my life and the love in it. So I grabbed the camera and tried to capture it for always. Here it is...
Immediately, my daughter heard the click and posed and asked if she looked "pretty with her cup". Ha ha ha, the boys, playing video games of course didn't even notice. Then she ran in and hung off the counters with her little fingers, looking straight up at me and if she hadn't moved so quickly, I would have taken a picture of that as well. Another view I will miss some day =) Here is the pose with the cup...
A perfect moment! And yes, she does look pretty with her cup : )
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! I have several piles of laundry and two boys hooked on video games in my house too! I can so relate to this moment... And yes, that is one pretty girl posing with her cup! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet moment. I love moments like that too. When I'm in the middle of my business and I just stop to sit with them, play, hug, or just watch them they give me the biggest reaction of surprise and delight. It's in that moment that they know they are more important than anything in my life.
ReplyDeleteperfect.
