Everything about this picture makes me smile and sigh. In my life as a mom, I have spent countless hours in the kitchen getting snacks or meals. So it comes as no surprise to me when I look back at pictures that so many are in the kitchen. On this day, like many others, the kids were rockin' their jammies and robes and I am here to tell you that it was very likely NOT morning - these kids just liked jammies and robes. As a matter of fact, we affectionately referred to The Boy as "Hef" in this blue robe that he loved to wear. A lot. I'm sure that if you were able to see the tops of their hands, there would be "decorative band aides" on them. There was a stretch of time when the kids all liked to wear band aides as "jewelry". Darn those character band aides. Why we never bought stock in them is beyond me. Toys joined them at the table quite a bit - they were quite fond of "talking their people" and acting out any Disney movie or show that they had seen. Finally, as you can see, The Bear, The Princess, and The Boy have always had dramatic flare and they sure are all superheroes in my eyes and the memory of this moment truly makes me smile. It is hard to believe that this was 6 years ago - The Bear and The Princess had not even started school yet. They had just turned 4 not quite two months before this. The Boy was not even 2 yet ... They have grown so much since this moment and that makes me sigh... Slow down superheroes.
