Why is it so shocking to me that my children are growing, and growing quickly?? This past week we got rid of their beloved playhouse. This playhouse has seem a gazillion hours of play in the past eight years. As I went to take a picture of it and put it up for sale, I had GMan stand by the house.
That's when it hit me: My time with these children is running out! Yes, I know I have more time with them, but the baby days are over. I'm sad. I know the next stage is new, different, and wonderful, too - but I'm still sad.
I found myself wanting to spend a lot of one on one time with my children this week. Miss B and I went to get "coffee" at the bookstore (just the two of us) and then did a little shopping at Claire's. GMan and I had an evening to ourselves and ate grilled peanut butter and jellies and cinnamon apples. We also read a wonderful series of books together.
