One on one

Sometimes I think that I am failing as a parent.  And then there are some days that I feel like a winner.  Today was a bipolar day. 

This morning started out great.  I slept in just a little bit because I had felt like I was starting to get sick, and was still able to exercise.  Then in a great turn of events I was able to take just my oldest with me to finish some scouting stuff and grocery shopping.  I really enjoy spending this time with my kids.  I don't get to do it very often because we have a busy life.  They really come out of their shells when we do this. 

We got to go visit the Blue Whale of Catoosa on Route 66.  It was fun to see him explore by himself.  If I didn't have the baby with me, I would have done more with him.  Even grocery shopping gives us giggly fun time.  Spending this time with them helps me remember how good they are and how much I love them.
