I gotta confess from the start, this is not quite Wordless.
As I was tidying up the house during nap time this week, I found this in my kitchen. I bent down to pick them up and decided to snap a quick picture first. Because some day, my kids will be grown and in school, and I won’t find half dressed baby dolls lying on the floor beside toy guns with my vacuum attachment stuck on top to turn it into a light saber. And when I sit alone in my clean and quiet house waiting for my teens to buzz in the door between school, and jobs, and sports, I know I am going to think back to these days (you know the ones with toys covering the floor, and Cheerios in the couch cushions) And I will miss them, immensely.
So this picture is to remind me to cherish these fleeting days and to savor the time by playing baby doll, and ball, and army, all while cooking dinner and tidying up the house.

Looks like the makings of a good cabbage patch doll snuff film.
What does it say about me that the only thing that seemed out of place here was the vacuum attachment???
Great photos!
LOL what a great picture! Those are the ones to show them when they are older!
Thanks for the precious reminder!
Have a blessed day!

LOL then a big Amen!!
yikes! looks like a murder scene. were you at all tempted to outline tape around her body?
lol that is pretty funny. Good idea to take a picture.. I almost felt emotional as you were saying that you want to remember these times when they are older.. I was thinking of my two little ones.. how fast time is flying by.
Word. It’s hard to believe that someday they’ll be too busy for mommy time!
I was kind of expecting a story about y’all playing CSI or something…
