This summer I traded with a mom in my neighborhood and we did some "one-on-one" time with our children. It was so much fun. I have some truly wonderful and amazing children and I was so spoiled to be able to spend quality time with them. It was like going on dates. I loved it! And I really loved spending time with my kids individually and how special they felt that they had me all to themselves. They may have felt like they were special, but I think it was the other way around. I am so blessed that I have so many children that are good, fun, and happy to be with.
These are a few pictures that I took when it was Camie's turn. She chose to go ice skating, which I hadn't done since high school and she had never been. She thought it was about like walking, had no idea it was so slippery, and she took off onto the ice without me. She immediately slipped and then someone fell on top of her smashing her finger with the blade of their skate. Camie bawled because it REALLY hurt. We had to go get the blood cleaned up. And then Camie wanted to go back out on the ice! What resilience! Camie is really amazing! I would have quit and gone home feeling sorry for myself. She is such an example to me. She was cautious through the two hours of skating, but we had so much fun together.
