its amazing what one can accomplish in a days time! i especially love the part about killing the spider and building the fort, and trying not to laugh at husband. thats fantastic. when your kids are all grown up and gone you will be unbearably bored.

Major LOL! Oh, the memories you brought back. There is wisdom in appreciating the seasons of your life...even if it is just to have a good laugh.
