Living in the Moment...

Most of you reading this know by now that I basically have learned that circumstances happen to each of us in life that we can and can't control. I have learned to roll with the punches and to sometimes even enjoy them as they happen. Even when they are scary, overwhelming, frustrating, or even funny and unusual. So, here are a couple of pictures of me "rolling with the punches" in the midst of a moment. It was just starting to be time for me to make dinner. I was picking up the crayons and paper that my girls had just finished playing with. When I turned around to see what activity they were going to do next...this is what was going on.
Wyndham had walked into the bathroom and grabbed the toilet paper and started walking around the house- she was moving as fast as she could go- all the while the tp was dragging behind her. She was giggling and excited- so the other two girls quickly joined her fun. The next thing I know, they are all running through the house with toilet paper flowing gracefully behind them. I thought for a split second about yelling at them to all stop. But when I saw their eyes sparkling I knew the best thing I could do was to grab my camera and start snapping. It was hard to get a great shot because I was watching and smiling as big as they were...and they were moving so fast and were all over the place. When one trail of paper snapped they would head back into the bathroom and start all over- trying to create the longest line they could. Their laughter was so sweet. The paper was flying everywhere. When their little legs got tired of running circles through the house, they decided to tear the paper to bits. I turned on one of their music CDs and they started dancing, shredding, throwing paper up in the air and giggling the whole time. It was a mess. It was dinnertime. Daddy came walking into the whole thing in the middle of it all. It was a roll of toilet paper...but it was magic just the same.
