Blowing Bubbles

Wednesday morning in the mad rush of trying to get everything done that I needed to, Savannah kept pestering me to blow bubbles with her. I was busy though and kept saying "Not now." She eventually wore me down though, and I gave in and blew bubbles for her & Caleb. They both love watching the bubbles floating around and Savannah, of course, loves to chase and pop them. She was particularly determined to pop a bubble that was floating up higher and higher where she couldn't reach it. She became quite upset, but I pointed out to her that because she was so worried about reaching that bubble, she was missing out on all the other bubbles I was blowing. As soon as I said the words, I realized that my advice was meant for me. I am often so busy with some "bubble" or another, that I don't even see opportunities to play with my children and have meaningful experiences with them. So, here's to taking time to stop & blow the bubbles...and to journal about all the great memories. Did I mention how hard it is to take a good picture while blowing the bubbles?
