At the End of a Long Day
The best thing to do at the end of a long day is to reconnect with my kids. I love to cuddle under a blanket with them on the couch as the snow falls outside. Oh yes, we have snow already! The last thing I do before hugs and kisses and tucking snuggly under their blankets at night is to have a family prayer with the kids. We take turns saying it every night (we go oldest to youngest), and after the last “Amen” I yell “GROUP!!!!” to which my angels respond “HUUUUUUUUUUG!!!!” I think that is just such fun and a happy and giggly way to get them in to bed.
It’s so important to end our days on a positive note. I love to tuck them in and kiss their little noses, cheeks and lips. I love to feel their little arms wrap around the back of my neck as they kiss me back and tell me how much they love me. I never knew that parenting could be so very very sweet!
Of course, I stay up for hours after they go to sleep to have my alone time or my grown up time, but that is another story!
