"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about!"

I almost missed an opportunity...

Last week Caden was selected to be Star Student at school, this week Maggie was selected and because I was too busy worrying about life and what was going on at work, I almost missed the opportunity to record the kids answers to questions about their life.

That was until I was brought down to reality by our Maggie.  I will post more on their answers later but right now this is the one line that brought me back to reality, made me realize that it is definitely time to slow down and to stop missing time with my family....
The question was, "When I grow up I want to be..."  Maggie's answer, "5 and ride on a school bus"
Just think about it, that is the realm of her growing up and it is only a short year away. 

So to start my Friday, I have tears in my eyes, proud, happy and sad tears, and I took 5 minutes during my morning coffee to stop and record this moment because my little Maggie Lynne made me remember what is most important, mommy needed this to bring her back to her priorities.  No it should not take my almost 4 year old to remind me but sometimes it does.

Here is to a happy Friday and a great weekend filled with lots of family time!
