Finger Paint Sugar Cookies

This will be a short post as I'm not feeling the greatest and need to get some sleep. Oh how I hope and pray that I'm not getting sick right now! I just don't have the time to be sick! Kara is making soft squeaking noises as she falls asleep in the bassinet while Kiley keeps making faces at me every time I look over at her. I think she is trying to convince me that it isn't time for bed!

We had a play date this morning with my mom's cousin's granddaughter (yes I'm serious.) She is about the same age as Abby and they had quite a bit of fun. Of course there are always sharing issues... but we made it. She was pretty worn out by the time we left as it was after her nap time. She took a 2 hour long nap and though I was able to get a load of laundry done and dishes I wish I could have done more. Housework at times feels daunting to me. I think I need more hands, more energy and more time!

But the important things...

I DID take the time to do things with my girls. Abby finger painted two wonderful masterpieces. She wasn't as fond of painting after she tried to eat the paint. Apparently it wasn't very good... She also had a cut on her finger that hurt when she got paint onto it.

Then we made sugar cookies. We had just gotten done painting and washing up which is why Abby was still shirtless. Paint + Abby= Mess It was quite an adventure but Abby had a lot of fun... yes... the dough was store bought but really... I just don't have that much time right now, and Abs didn't care! She enjoyed the smashing and rolling and cutting ... and eating.

So I guess in the end.... I did the important things today....

Kiley and Kara have been sleeping a lot during the day. You would think that would make things easier. And sometimes it does. It also gives me a little guilt trip every so often that I'm not holding them, playing with them, talking to them... which is what I feel like I should be doing. I guess as a mom of 3 you just have to do the best you can and leave the rest up to God.

Goodnight!
