Friday at home

This is just a picture that I took of Kinley last night, wearing her new pajamas. It's so much fun getting to buy cute little night gowns and all of that girly stuff. Don't get me wrong, I have just as much fun buying boy clothes too. ;-) But, there is something about having a little mini me to play dress up with.

It's Friday! I was so thrilled that I had no plans, we were staying home all day, and I could sleep in and just relax. Well, that isn't exactly the way it went. I was up around 6:45am - I can't ever sleep in anymore. Doc brought Kinley to bed around 7:00 before he left for work. She decided she wanted to get up early too. ;-)

We stayed in all day. I did all of the dirty clothes that were piled high in the laundry room and cleaned house. It's so nice to get caught up and not have any plans.

I decided since the house was perfectly clean, my laundry was done, and we had nothing to do.... I might as well bake some cookies! ;-)

Why not make a huge mess after just cleaning the entire kitchen?! ;-) The kids loved the Friday afternoon treat. I made our family sugar cookie recipe. I don't make my own frosting though, I just use the store bought. ;-) I asked Austin what color frosting he wanted, he told me blue. (it is actually blue, my phone camera makes it look green)

The kids had fun today. Look at the mess! I am usually so uptight about the house staying 'perfect' and everything picked up and cleaned. The past few days I have been letting go and just let them play, let the house remain a mess. I am calmer and the kids are much happier because I'm right there playing with them. All of the laundry, dishes, and mess of a house can wait. I have learned that I can do it at night after I put them to bed instead of worrying about it during the day. It's just a house. It's just a mess. My little ones are growing up so fast right before my very eyes and I want to be right there to enjoy them before they are both in school and I'm sitting here at the quiet, perfect house, wondering where those years went.

My sweet boy. He is such a sweet, loving boy. The things he says to me just blow me away. He listens to everything I say. After getting mad at him today - he turned to me and hugged me and said, "I love you, Mom". Ugh. I just love him. He often tells me, "you are a good Mommy". I am so lucky to have such a loving and caring little guy. Don't get me wrong - he definitely has his moments and can be a little terd too. ;-)

My sweet girl - she just loves being held and loved on. She's perfectly happy just being in my arms and held all day long.

We had such a relaxing day at home. Kinley napped super early since she woke up way before normal and Austin didn't nap at all. Both of them were in bed at 8:00. So nice!

I hope that your Friday was a good one! Enjoy your weekend.
