Thankful Thursdays: The Little Things

I had originally taken off last Friday to get stuff done around the house. Working 9+ hours a day and then spending the evenings with Conrad does not leave a lot of time to get stuff done so every now and then I take a day off to actually cross chores off the list(clean, laundry, errands, organize). That was my intention last Friday. But after spending some extra time with Conrad in the morning I decided that time with my little man was more important. And I'm so glad I did! We first went to visit Daddy at work:

Daddy's work is fun because he has soccer balls, yoga balls, a small trampoline, and lots of space to run!

Also, can we please note the watch - he's obsessed and it's adorable. Although don't count on him for accurate time readings. Whenever you ask, it's always "two o'clock".

Back home for Popsicles and playtime in the back yard
After our nap it was time for a wagon ride to drop off the dry cleaning




I'm sure you may have recognized all the outfit changes - this kid gets dirty! I remember when we were finding out the sex I kind of wanted a girl so I could dress her up and accessorize her. But this little guy has just as many clothes, shoes, hats, sunglasses, and accessories (watches, ties, suspenders!) as any girl I know.

I was so happy to spend so much time with Conrad last Friday that I didn't even care that the house was still a mess (if not more a mess) by the end of the day. We didn't have any agenda, just hung out. In fact it was fun to just say "Hey Conrad, what do you want to do?" and have him pick "wagon" or "park" or "popsicle". Letting the schedules, cleaning, and organizing fly to the wind was awesome and I'm so thankful I had a day full of amazing moments with him.
