Some of the time missed is necessary. The house has to be cleaned, dinner has to be made (though Nathan helps with that some), and errands have to be run. I can't spend every waking moment playing with the kids. But I've been guilty of wasting my time when I could be investing in the lives of our children. I've spent too much time on Facebook and Pinterest. I've spent nap time doing NOTHING instead of being productive to give me more time with the kids when they wake. Changing this habit is something I've been working hard on. (While still maintaining that balance of having "me time".)
(Why yes, the kids do spend most of their days without pants on.)
When Miah comes home I won't have as much play time with the kids as I do now. So I've made it my mission to spend as much time having fun with the kids as I can right now so that I don't miss out on this time in their lives. They're growing up way faster than I want them to.
This is why I love Pinterest (in moderation). There are so many awesome ideas for projects to do with the kids. Like this crayon art. Nathan LOVED it!
When did he turn into a BOY and not a baby?
