Fleeting.

I have been thinking so much lately about how quickly life is speeding by. I can't slow life down, but I can slow down and enjoy my life more. For me, this means less time for blogging and Facebook, and more time spent playing with my babes and keeping up with my house (I'm not a stickler about cleaning, but I like to stay on top of it).

The other day we broke out the finger paints. SO messy but so fun! Levi didn't really understand the whole "painting" idea. He just enjoyed the feeling of the paint between his chubby fingers. Lily used so much paint, it took several days to dry. Ha!

This week has been busy and fun. On Monday, our babysitter (she's not just a babysitter, but a sweet friend of mine too) went shopping with me and the kids to look for flower girl and bridesmaids stuff. She and I both found shoes (yay!) and I think I found the shoes I'm getting Lily. We walked around the mall, had lunch at 5 Guys, delivered a meal to a friend, and went to Hobby Lobby. The kids did great, although they all (Levi specifically) had their moments of difficulty.

Our library books were due today so we headed there this morning. It's always an adventure taking three littles places by myself! They did very well today holding hands while crossing the parking lot, being quiet in the library, and not running around like wild indians! We loaded up on about 20 new books - mainly Curious George, Clifford, and Eric Carle books.

I'm working on making quiet books for the kids for Christmas. It is such a fun project, but so time consuming! Can't wait to show them to y'all when I get them done! :)
