look mommy...you did it!

it's getting a wee harder to get around these days.

i'm sore, slow and seriously swollen!

kids hear their mama say "i can't" a whole lot.

i can't give you a piggyback today darling...

i can't climb in your awesome fort...

i can't fit you both on my lap for story time...

i can't play on the floor, build that tower or tie your shoes.

so in the  moments like that one up there, 

when i did get down in their world
to sort, organize and create a car & train museum with them,

 it was topped off by lots of celebrations for what we created, and for their mama too.  .

"look mommy - you did it!" 

tanks fillled...theirs and mine.

 i'll take it!
