a million reasons...

there are a million reasons why i maybe shouldn't have let my kids stay home from school today.
there are a million reasons why i maybe shouldn't have gotten them donuts either....
(the bazzilion dollar recent dentist report being just one of them)
there are a million reasons (day light savings, jet lag, lady nonsense) why i am so tired by two o'clock everyday this week that it is all i can do not to just close...my... eyes....
but
sometimes all those million bazillions of reasons need to be let go of and we've gotta to just do what we've gotta do.

i needed a day with my kids to just hang out.
jumping on the bed, playing legos, snuggling, watching old episodes of the backyardigans, eating tons of strawberries from the farm, watercoloring, wearing my ugg boots all day and....

getting some donuts.



(ok ok, because of said recent dentist visits, we DID brush three times today and floss at night!)

  1. i canNOT get enough of those sweet freckles!
    {or krispy creme donuts, for that matter}
    sounds like a super fun day.
    the kind that your kids will look back on and always remember 'when mom let us stay home from school, and got us donuts'!
    love it.
    and the backyardigans!
