#SOL Day 6

Today was such a busy day for me. I had a ton of errands to complete as I prepare to leave for my Spring Break trip next weekend.  After 6 hours of shopping I headed home. All I wanted to do was rest; prop my feet up and veg! But I knew I still had chores at home to do. And I still had to get my steps in for the day. As I headed outside my two boys were outside flying a kite. I just had to stop and watch them play for awhile. :) Now understand that my two boys are completely grown up. Yet there I was watching them run after the kite, laughing and having a great time. And my mind played back to another time when they did the same thing with Daddy. It was a bittersweet moment because their only my babies in my mind. But for a few special moments, I got to relieve such a special memory right in front of me!! All because of a kite...

  1. That is so poignant, I love that image as I have two older boys too. Hearing the stories of hanging out at college when the younger one visits, makes me appreciate the fun we had when they were home. They do grow up, but when did it happen? Thank you for a grey slice - so sweet.

  2. As a huge Mary Poppins fan, your title immediately caught my eye. How nice that you were able to escape the hectic nature of your day by slowing down to enjoy your boys. Sounds like a spoonful of sugar to me!
