Lazy Saturday

I need to be cleaning, but I've basically been trying to do anything BUT that today. I guess I'm in a funk and just can't find the motivation to get after it. I'm about halfway done and I do have to dig deep and find the energy to finish before bedtime because we are having friends over for lunch tomorrow after church.
So, to pass the time, Ayden and I have been playing Hi Ho Cherry-O. I'm not really sure when it happened, but somewhere along the line I blinked and my little firstborn baby is a full fledged big boy. Today was the first time he has really understood the concept of how to play a game....or maybe its just that he's finally old enough for his attention span to last long enough to remember rules. We played two games and each won one. Every time the spinner would land on the dog or the bird he would say, "Oh those stinkin' birds (or dogs). Maybe someone should teach them a lesson!" Too cute!! We had a great time until Landon and Camden invaded Ayden's bedroom. We had closed the door so they wouldn't come in and try to grab all the little cherries, which would inevitably wind up in Camden's mouth. But Daddy came in to check on us and the two little ones snuck right in...and went straight for the game pieces. But it was fun while it lasted, and sweet time with me and my little man. I can't wait until all three of them are old enough to play games together.
