You know that really satisfied feeling you get after getting some part of your house clean?  Maybe a room or floor that really needed a good scrubbing? Well, last night Chris held Jonah and entertained the kids so I could spend an hour or so deep cleaning the bathroom.  Then, that was so satisfying I decided to sweep and mop the kitchen and dining room floors this morning.

So when the sun came out and my kids went out to play…I had to decide to replace the feeling of satisfaction that came from a clean house with the feeling of satisfaction that comes from my children’s joy.

Making mommy surprise soup. Yum yum.
