toothpaste smeared on the mirror,
my stained carpet,
hugs from lil' boys,
grading schoolwork,
changing diapers,
making smoothies,
washing clothes,
putting sunscreen on,
tucking in,
reading books,
decorated refrigerator,
reading books,
decorated refrigerator,
being interrupted,
washing sippy cups,
discarding ruined socks,
being the referee,
playing blocks,
shopping with 2 carts,
listening to Barney,
scrubbing off tattoos,
doubling or tripling recipes
doubling or tripling recipes
stepping on legos,
giving baths......
it has crossed my mind that someday I might be lonely and living by myself. so for this day forward, i will treasure each day with my children as a gift from the Lord.
i truly am blessed..
Ecclesiastes 3:1
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

Great food for thought. As my guys get older (now 12 & 13) I am already grieving the end of homeschooling in 6 years...let alone dating, marriage, or *gasp* college. I totally agree with your sentiment. I will miss the happy business of our day-to-day lives.
