Imagination

My children have a great imagination. I'm sitting here in the living room, Cody playing a video game, listening to the kids play. They've taken all their covers, blankets and pillows and piled them in the living room against the bar. First it was a pile of leaves with ants crawling around and a golden leaf, then it was a mountain for them to stand on, now they've gone into a secret passage way with Wall-E in it.

On the rare chance that I let them take off the couch cushions, those soon become trains, horses and cars.

Now, Preslie is a puppy dog with Rylie trying to ride her back. Chase is bouncing off the wall and laying on top of the girls. Oh wait, the puppy is gone and now it's an airplane ride. Those kids jump from one thing to another so fast.

I could never imagine having just one child. Oh how boring that would be. I love to see the interaction between the kids. Of course yesterday was a day of fights. Chase and Preslie were fighting in the grocery store yesterday (we're talking hitting and yelling) and then it was Rylie and Preslie's turn. See a pattern here? But, I know they wouldn't trade any of it for anything in the world. It's the little moments that make me realize Cody and I are doing something right. Like this morning, we took them all out to breakfast at IHOP. Preslie is on one side of me and Chase on the other. One minute she is pestering the heck out of him and the next thing I know she wants kisses and he actually gave a kiss up. So sweet.
