Balancing the juggling act of kids, husband, house, career, meals, hobbies, friends, etc. is a stinkin tough job and most days I'm dropping the ball on at least a couple of them. Guaranteed if I'm doing well in one area, that means another is suffering.  Kids socks strewn about the floor and a mountain of laundry to be folded, but hey! a delicious dinner is on the table and the kids didn't just watch t.v. all day.  Or my perfectly spotless house meant no activities for the girls, a ton of discipline for the cranky, bored misbehaving children, and a stack of preschool prep still to get to.  Most days it's impossible to "do it all".

And yet some days, God gives me the grace and stretches each moment and hour to it's absolute max so life is abundantly full and everything is in its place.  Here was my day full of small graces that added up to so much:

Snow Day Play
I canceled my trip into town to cook at the Kitchen when we woke up to a blanket of snow.  We were creative, and played in the snow even though the temperatures outside would not allow it.

I would have also liked some squeezy medicine droppers, but didn't have any.  In any case, the girls loved scooping and pouring and mixing.








Bath Time:
A blue fizzy tints bubble bath and some Dora toys made for an almost hour long activity, warming up after we played in the snow.


We giggled and laughed as the girls were transformed into some of the cutest garden gnomes during our hair washing routine.



Nap Time:
A busy, rich weekend with the family and our Monday morning activities made for a house in need of a tune up.











Family Time:
And after our day of fullness, we found ourselves after supper with a clean house and clean kids and an hour to spare before bed.  So we played games.
