simple moments :: week 23

i need to be better about preparing these posts on wednesday. but usually i find my self going what is today. it's thursday. is it thursday? i should probably check. {picks up phone to check, only to forgot why i picked up said phone.}

story. of. my. life. -dramatic, right?
 
anyways, welcome to week 23! i love when you participate. LOVE it. this week is

found in the evening.

often times, during the warm days, i find the two little boys outside playing and ... wait for it... getting along. *gasp!* but, alas, it's true. sometimes they don't bicker. or punch each other. or scream. sometimes, they just strip to their skivvies and romp around outside like little caveman babies. and i relish it. they always come in so dirty from hair to toenail, windblown hair, and sparkly eyes. usually, they are not ready to simply come in for the night, it's a battle. but one i'm willing to endure because of how much they have enjoyed themselves and each other.

Lord, may i not forget the getting along on long summer evenings, the dirty feet, the tangled hair, the big smiles, the endless laughter, the tiny hands on swings. may i remember that they are in fact, sweet sweet boys, even on hard days.

simple moments is about finding the small things that make up our everyday, things we want to remember and be thankful for. it's the little bits of our lives that might not be remembered when we are gray and old. so we document it, on paper, with a photo, in a journal, through a blog. join me?
