Spring break for Joshua is spring break for Ethan, too.
.
Before he started kindergarten in September, Joshua was always home with me. I remember the sadness I felt about a year ago when I realized that slow-paced mornings and clear schedules would be reduced to summer and breaks.
.
We are off schedule this week and I love it. My own busyness this week prevents this from being a week filled with fun activities, but I am reminded that it was this all along that we missed. Running errands without the confines of school pick-ups and drop-offs, mall-trekking with two kids and too many bags and a sore throat, and watching my boys play and run and fight as brothers do.
.
Savor the moment. Take a break from routine. Even if there are a hundred things you would change, even if it is far from perfect, it is still so sweet.
