Today was an unusually beautiful January day, so the girls and I had a little picnic lunch outside while Jonah took a nap. It's these moments that I love the most, when the tv is off, the phone is put away, and the toys are out of sight. You'd think since I stay home with them, this would happen all of the time, but in the busyness of life, sadly it doesn't. As we laid on the blanket in our backyard, I asked them what they wanted to be when they grow up. Madison said "a hair saloner!" and Mackenzie said, "An artist and fashionista in Paris!" Bahaha! That is SO Mackenzie! I told her that was way too far away from me, and that she would have to come up with another plan. She said she would just hop on an airplane and come visit me for the day once a week. If only it worked that way... My heart was happy, soaking in the sweetness of this moment with the girls. But it was also sad knowing that one day all too soon, they really will be old enough to be a hair saloner and an artist/fashionista. If only time could just stand still or even slow down a little! I know God must have great things planned for their lives.
On a funny note (hilarious actually!) Mackenzie lightened the mood when she tooted and when I said, "What was that?!" she said, "My smell of victory!" Bahahaha! I mean seriously, the girl is hilarious!
These girls say the funniest things all of the time...the other day I overheard this conversation:
Madison (to Mackenzie) : "You're lying!"
Mackenzie: "No I'm not! It's a hypothesis. Do you know what a hypothesis is?"
Madison: "It means you're positive."
Mackenzie: "No, it's your best guess!"
They keep me laughing all of the time and I am so very blessed and thankful to be their Momma!
