Mundane

I haven't posted anything too exciting but I keep reminding myself these are things I want to remember about daily life, even if they aren't necessarily entertaining to everyone else. Here are some random things about my day today.

Hayes & Kamri each had a friend over today.  I played Monopoly with all of them. Kamri & Mabry were the bank and Mckenna, Hayes, & I played.  They totally whooped me. I think the bank was slipping them money or something.  We didn't finish the whole game before they got bored (thankfully) and I sent them outside to play.  Those four played for an hour in the backyard. I have no idea what make believe they were playing but sometimes I wish life was always that simple, just playing make believe in the backyard, no problems at all, except of course the ones you make up and can solve as well.

 

While the kids were playing outside Lyla and I were folding laundry on the bed.  Lyla tipped the laundry basket full of socks over and started throwing them everywhere and giggling. Then I would put them back in and it would start all over again.  It kept her occupied and it was cute, double bonus.

Tonight after dinner Bracken was asking Kamri if she knew that he loved her. She was responding with her usual 'I don't:"with a big smile to illicit Bracken's response of "What??"  Then he would ask for a kiss and she'd say no.  Then she usually ends up giving him a big kiss and a hug but tonight she informed him that she will only give out kisses on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I've had on my mind a lot lately about how I have changed from when we moved here to now.  I'm still the same ole Skye but circumstances and locations do have a way of changing or influencing a person. I feel like I've grown and changed for the better in the past few years, but sometimes it's hard to tell.  It'll be interesting to see what the next three years bring.

Bracken left at 6:30 this morning and got home at 6.  He wasn't home later than usual but having him leave earlier makes the day feel longer. We're going to the ward valentines party tomorrow.  It's nice to have a free date to look forward to!
