Weekend Mornings

Most of our weekend mornings involve chores, commotion, tupperware out of cabinets. boys arguing over the same tiny lego and plans of what all we need to accomplish for the day. When I say most of our weekend mornings, I mean like 97% of them.

BUT, every now and then (3% of the time), the stars line up, time freezes and we experience mornings like this:

Usually I come across these moments when I am hurrying to clean up the kitchen after breakfast, or in and out of the garage straightening things up and declutering our 2 sq ft of counter space. And then it hits me... I realize that there is a sense of calm and no bickering, no running. For the most part, I say a little prayer and start moving even faster to "maximize the time" before someone starts crying or starts getting out all the finger paints. 

Today was different though. Today instead of shifting all my to-dos into 5th gear, I instead warmed up my coffee in the microwave and sat down on the couch to watch and enjoy.
