Today I woke up to a silent house and spent my morning going through pictures and drinking my coffee in bed. Last Saturday, however, looked just a little different. I woke up to laughter and excitement and six little voices that were ready at 6:30 in the morning for everything that day had to hold. Six little ones eating (or not) bowls of cereal and smashing play doh into the floor as they created masterpieces and constantly adding new drawings to the refrigerator. Six excited ones piling into a van to go to McDonald's, opening happy meal toys and running through the play place. Six precious ones spread out all over the floor and the couch, watching movies projected on the wall and spilling ice cream on their clothes.
Last weekend was CRAZY. But I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. This past week I was reminded once again of just how important every single moment is with ones that you love and I just want to soak it all up. So if it means being a mom to six kids for the weekend or staying up late to talk to friends or traveling across the country to see people I love, I'm all for it. Because time and people are oh so precious.
