5 Minutes Alone

I am a part of a produce group and today it was my turn to drive downtown and pick up the produce, bring it back to my house and divide it up into 10 orders. I decided that since my kids were off track I would go before Sam left for work so that I didn't have to haul all three of them with me. So I was downtown and back by 7am. My kids were just getting up when I got back and Sam had them situated with cereal and cartoons. Life was good. I started to divide up the produce in my garage and gave the women a call to come and pick their orders up. I kept peeking inside to make sure things were under control. Dax and Ellie were just hanging out watching cartoons and of course Kami was being my little helper. FIVE minutes had gone by and I came inside to the pantry raided and a variety of things strung out, milk spilt on the floor, and Ellie perched on the counter with the chocolate milk mix. What could I do when she smiled like this but grab my camera. TWO is such a fun and crazy age!! Kind of funny that the blogging thing has brought me to a new patience level. Its more fun to grab the camera for a good post than to get frustrated and upset!

It is so true about blogging. I see something cute and usually think I need to grab my camera so I can put it on my blog. Too funny. I wish I was in a produce group. Sounds awesome.
