Summer?

Today was absolutely beautiful!!! I took the boys to Lester Park and we walked along the river. It was perfect.I took pictures, but am too tired to load them onto here tonight.

The morning did not start out so beautiful. Our wee little one woke up waaay too early, could not fall back asleep and refused to eat breakfast. He was a b-e-a-r. Clingy, crying, screaming, grabbing onto my legs, etc...I was desperately trying to get us out the door when I realized I hadn't picked out the color for our bathroom and needed to pick it out today. SO, I looked through some paint chips and picked up the box that held them when I dropped it and hundreds of paint chips flew onto the floor. These are in numerical order and grouped together by hue. As I was trying to pick them up, our wee little one kept coming over and flinging them everywhere. I was near tears. (On Monday night our sewer backed up and yesterday was spent bleaching the basement. Our toilet is set up down there now and so is the shower for the remodel. Our new faucets for the bathroom were also in the basement and got wet with sewer water. ugh.)

I managed to get the paint chips picked up, called my Dad to let him know, and thankfully, I don't need to have them in order! Then our wee little one needed a diaper change. sigh.
I asked my Dad's company partner if he could move his truck so we could leave, he waited in the driveway for me as I looked desperately for my keys. I had lost them. After almost 10 minutes of looking I found them and off we went.

I wasn't looking forward to our outing, but it turned out to be perfect. We got to Lester and started to walk along the river in the woods, and I instantly felt better. What a gift! To be able to spend time in God's creation and leave my worries behind and just enjoy the boys. I was able to watch them throw rocks into the river and we just took our time.

God is amazing!
