and emmet is snuggled in on my lap on the couch.
grace was already there when i walked down this morning
busy with her new lisa frank stickers and an old notebook to put them.
husband is getting ready to leave for work.
the dogs are outside getting their morning wiggles out
and i can see our chicken elsa up on the roost.
i breathe in emmet's beautiful blond locks
and know that his lovely blond locks will most likely darken in time.
i must enjoy it while it lasts
just like this moment.
all to soon husband kisses us one by one good bye
and monday, my week of business is starting.
but today will be slower.
i will make it so.
we will snuggle.
we will have grapes and apples for breakfast.
we will warm up by the fire with a piece or two of halloween candy.
we will play dress up.
we will not rush.
i will savor these days as i always do.
these days are far too few.
they breathe new life into me.
they reaffirm how important motherhood is.
i will cherish this season
for i know it will be a short one.
