Enjoying the moment

Sunday night both kids were testing us. They both seemed off, so we bathed, put them to bed and thought we would relax on the couch :o) Before I could even start the Oscars, Mackenzie woke up hysterical. She is cutting teeth and so we decided to just let her snuggle on the couch with us for a while. Not much longer we heard our other little one crying. The first time Aaron went up Matt settled down and "fell asleep." 20 minutes later we heard him again. I made the comment, "we should just let him come down and join our party." Once the family was complete we decided to have an ice cream party on a pallet. It was a blast. The kids were thrilled with this change in routine and we had more fun than just trying to get them back to sleep. I thought once, "I really want a picture of this" but we got too caught up in the moment and sharing ice cream that it never happened. We were all tired but just needed a little more time to hang out before the week started again. What a special treat! Both kids crashed with no problems after that. We might try ice cream parties more often! AMEN to that!
