[Mommy Blog]Game Playing (the Positive Kind)

It's a rainy day out. So we spent a good chunk of the morning watching Scooby Doo and playing games. I actually love mornings like this. As my kids seem to grow up quicker and quicker everyday, it's moments like these that I need to hold on to. Especially since there's so much strife, disagreement and power playing in the house lately.

The clink of dominoes and smiles make it all worth it. The shuffling of cards and "evil" snickers of plotting in Uno. These are what I need to learn how to hold on to. Even if they don't last longer than an hour at a time, these are the moments that remind me why I do love this parenting thing as much as I do.

I may be burnt out, but I wouldn't trade these kids for anything in the entire world. Even if as I type this, there's arguing about who gets to pick out their clothes first.
