I spent the morning being reminded how awesome it is to have a relaxing day with my kids! From pancake breakfast to reading books, from Duplos to Jeremy's new Thomas the Tank Engine Remote Controled Trackmaster Train system we had a blast from first thing in the morning until lunch!
Then, when nap-time began I started prepping the hallway upstairs for a new coat of paint. Alex got back to a freezer food packaging project we've been working on.
The boys woke up and it was time to let them try their hand at painting - on the walls. As a kid I remember asking my parents many, many times if I could help paint the house. I was told I could help when I was 12. When the magical age of 12 came along, I was so excited to help. Then, being the almost teenager that I was, after a few minutes I didn't ever want to help again. (it was work - duh!!!) Well, at (almost) 2 and 3 years old, my boys loved it. Of course, they didn't want to help for long either, but they had their fun and we got great photos!
Then it was on to dinner followed by snuggling on the couch to watch Shrek (I almost felt compelled to turn it off due to the swearing, but the boys didn't seem to pick up on it.) and then it was off to bed for the munchkins!
Hope your first Sunday of the New Year was just as great!
