Today

Today was the kind of day that makes up for all the days like yesterday.

Yesterday was full of complaining, fighting, doubting, lacking motivation and patience, headaches, threatening and overall everything that I don't want my kids to remember about me.

Today I woke up to Jackson's corny grin, snuggling and a hot wheel driven all over my face.

Today Sam woke up on the top bunk. So excited that he didn't fall off.

Today the boys were having so much fun playing Hot Wheels and Batcave they didn't want to come outside.

Today the sun was shining and I ignored my dirty house to spend the day outside with my boys.

Today Sam WALKED UNASSISTED!

Today the boys helped me weed all the flower beds in the backyard.

Today we had our first "picnic in the backyard" of the year.

Today Sam and I laid in the grass as he told me how wished everyday could be like today.

Today Jackson played T-ball with a plastic shovel.

Today I laid on the hammock with all four of my boys.

Today the boys and I played with play dough for over a hour.

Today Sam tried to bribe Brandon (with Brandon's money) to stay home instead of going to a meeting.

Today the boys and I cuddled while feeling little brother kick.

Today we had an Alvin and the Chipmunks dance party complete with glow sticks.

Today Sam and Jackson went to bed in the same room on the bunk beds.

Today didn't go without it's occasional fight or complaint, but was the kind of day that I want to remember every detail. Today was the kind of day that makes going through yesterdays worth it.
