Quality Time vs. Quanity Time

My thought today...

Time, first of all, is passing by quickly. I'm looking at the clock and it's nap time again. Wasn't it just nap time a few hours ago? I have a very difficult time managing my time too. If I'm at home, I have tons of things I should be doing and playing with the kids all day long won't get half of the work done that needs to be done.
Today, Keegan and I had a "Wiggle and Giggle" class. It's a 30-minute session for 4-weeks. Nolan spends some time in the daycare and I get to spend some quality time with Keegan...not the quanity time I give them when we're at home. It's important to get out of your surroundings (a place that's very distracting) and spend some quality time with your kids. It's a juggling act for sure.
Remember to spend some good quality time with your kids each day. Get away from your "messy" house and go do something together. Go to the park! We may do that tomorrow if it's not too cold. They are growing faster than I'd like.

I take Madison with me alot to the store. She loves that and it gives us just one one one time with each other. She starts kindergarten in the fall and you are right, these past 5 1/2 years have gone by way to fast. Quality time is way more important than a clean house. One day when they are grow and gone we can have clean houses.

I need you to teach me to decorate cakes!

You know what I don't get? People who have clean houses ALL the time and have more than one kid. How is that possible. One kid I can see (might be a little easier). I want to know their secret.

Oh well. I've given up on trying to keep a clean house. This is what people will see when they walk in...toys everywhere and dishes in the sink...until I can get to putting them in the dishwasher. It's mad!
