Simple Days

Some of my most favorite days are filled with staying at home and just playing. Here are some shots from our day today. The girls' imaginations have been taking off lately. Ava with her train tracks and "Little People" village. She loves to set up her track, build tunnels and "Little People" towns around it. She puts the little people in the trains and takes them to different destinations...the zoo, town, their home, etc. Katelyn on the other hand loves dolls and her toy kitchen. When she's not inadvertently stepping on her sister's railroad track (which then causes havoc), she's feeding her baby's, pushing them in a stroller or patting them on their backs.

And for me...I just absolutely love watching them play. I love watching them talk to their baby's, trains and little people in mini voices (Kate babbling all the way...but saying something for sure). I love watching them figure out how to do new things (like build a lego tower into a "train station") and most of all I love the moments when they giggle and actually play together (even if for just a few minutes)! I find that our "smoothest" days are the days when I forget about the mounds of laundry, dirty kitchen, and everything else on my "to do" list that "needs" to get done, and focus more on the girls. Letting some of that go is hard for me, but I've been trying to remind myself more and more that eventually all that other stuff gets done and these little moments are just too precious!
