And my heart swells.....

When I was about 21 a classmate of mine described what her idea of a perfect scene in life would be.

She would be in the kitchen making dinner and her husband would be on the ground playing with their children. She would feel so over whelmed with love and how her heart would just pitter patter at the thought.

I was thinking.....Uhhhh good luck with that my day dreaming friend.

I was cooking up some grub and there it was right before me.
Nick obviously exhausted from a day of work, yet he was there wrestling and rolling around with his boys.

Thing is, I live her ideal evening almost every day. I never realized how I took this for granted until I stood there with my camera in hand trying to get some shots of these howling monkeys.
I'm a lucky gal, yeah very lucky.

Little E trying to trap dad and Z under the laundry hamper. I "think" he was trying to rescue Z.



Boys tearing up my living room...oh and do they tear it up.



To many more ideal evenings.

Sometimes it's hard to remember those little things... They're so important though! I posted an entry not so long ago on one of my blogs about loving toddler tantrums - because I'm lucky enough to be blessed with a toddler when so many others would give anything to have one.

I agree! Plus it's hard sometimes not to laugh when they throw a tantrum!LOL.
