Happy Tuesday!
Even though Keenan woke up at the crack of dawn (yet again) today, it was nice to wake up to his cute little face asking to climb into our bed to snuggle and read books. Who can say no to that? I cherish our family cuddle time in the mornings, because it is the perfect way to start the day, aside from a nice warm cup of coffee to help me wake up!
Anyhow, since yesterday morning was so busy with rushing off to Keenan’s last music class of the year and a doctor’s appointment for myself, I decided it would be best for us to stay home, enjoy the beautiful warm weather and play outside.
We started our morning off by making breakfast parfaits, an idea inspired in Keenan’s latest Highlights magazine that I’ll talk more about later. He was SUPER excited about them as you can see!
Since we have a couple of family birthdays coming up, along with Father’s Day, we started out with a little finger painting, making cards and pictures. He was definitely focused on his artwork this morning, because he must have painted, stamped and colored for at least 45 minutes! It was a fun time, because we both painted and colored together (I worked on a few cards myself) while listening to music and chatting about random things. I just love precious moments like that!
After finishing up our art, we moved inside to play with his legos, building the longest house ever, or excuse me, “apartment complex,” as Keenan clarified.
After legos, we enjoyed lunch outside, followed by Keenan’s nap and quiet time for me to tackle my to-do list!
Well, that’s it for today. Have a good one!
Questions:
When was the last time you enjoyed a lazy day at home?
If you have kids, what moments do you particularly treasure the most with them?
Whenever I put my Rylnn to bed at night…It’s like it’s just me and him and he just hugs my neck as we say our night night prayers and I sing him a song and I hear that sweet voice say “I wuv shu Mama” and I just melt. I love and try to cherish all the time we have together, but that is my absolute favorite.
Ooh, I love that! I have a similar bedtime routine with Keenan. I lay in his bed as I sing him a song before tucking him in and he always wraps his arm around me and my heart just melts!
What a fun morning! I was just thinking about ordering Ayden the Highlights magazine. I used to get it when I was little and remember it being so much fun! A might be a little too young still but maybe not… I need to get started on Father’s Day gifts! Thanks for the reminder!
My grandma ordered Highlights for Keenan when he turned two and he loved it. Some of the things were a tad young for him, but nothing too advanced. When we get the mail, he always asks if his new magazine came yet; it’s too cute!
That looks like the perfect day. I love snuggling with my girls in the morning or anytime of day. I have to say that is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love when Isabella calls me in, in the morning and says “snuggle Mama bed”. It melts my heart and when Sophia says “I need some Mommy snuggles”.
I think we will do some painting outside today too. It is not warm enough here to go swimming, but painting on the deck sounds fabulous. Thank you!!
That is so cute what your girls say! I love it when Keenan asks to snuggle. My heart melts every time! I hope you guys had fun painting!
Sounds like you had a busy morning. Cute pictures!
Love,
