So today I was awakened with a smile. The soft giggle and voice of Jacob whispering,"Morning Mommy," just automatically made me grin. Although I really didn't want to pull back the covers and be greeted with cold, I had to.... I have to start today...now.... go on....get up!! But before I could convince my body to follow the instructions from my brain, Jacob's soft voice was quickly changing tones.. from soft, cute and quiet to louder, squeaky and questioning tones..."Mommy..... will you make me breakfast???" "Mommy, Mommy, where's Charlie?" (for those of you who don't know, Charlie lives here at camp and is literally, Jacob's favorite person ever.) "Mommy, why you have your jacket on?" as he's unzipping and zipping my hoodie up and down, bouncing up and down on me and throwing his "Bearie" in the air which keeps landing on my head. So, I answer all the questions and am still smiling, when Jordan comes and tackles Jacob, whose head slams down on my lip. Yeah! Now, I hop out of bed really quick to practice the self control I'm always talking to the kids about. "Just "walk it off" as Jackson says," I told myself. I really didn't want to have a bad attitude within the first 10 min of starting today.
As I head to the kitchen, I see the beautiful snowcover that we were getting as I was headed to bed last night. Its so beautiful. I won't ever stop loving seeing the snow clinging to the trees, to see the beautiful, still untouched snow covering the frozen ground and I really wanted to jump the making breakfast ship and go out and wander around in it.
I smile again. Thinking about the fresh fallen snow, its still undefiled beauty and the happy little boy, full of questions and fun. They are both one and the same. Purely beautiful and mine to enjoy!
