They were just simply being kids. We are having a lazy evening at home. They were playing downstairs and I knew they were making a mess. As I was sitting in the dining room listening it hit me…
That IS their life. That’s exactly what I did. I LOVED making forts with our blankets and rearranging my room. I regularly had things all over and couldn’t wait to jump on the bed.
So I grabbed my camera and headed downstairs. They weren’t sure what mommy was going to say and so they were quiet.

I then told them ‘Go, I want to get a picture of you flipping on your bed’.
My son looked at me and then his sister and said OK.
We had a blast. They were jumping and flipping on the bed … just as I used to – except I always used my parents bed 🙂 They were proud of their rooms, their space and how comfy it is.
I totally filled up their love banks.
Including mine. My heart is still over flowing with ooey, gooey warm love!
How do I know her heart was full… she was playing waitress to serve me. While the chef (daddy) made us dinner.
It was all so real. Crazy messy rooms, beds not made, toys everywhere. It was REAL LIFE.
So laid back and lazy – comfortable and fun!
Yum dinner was fantastic and we are all going to kick back and enjoy the evening.
