doing a lot of nothing

this week i was put on bed rest, so i've been home all week. this pregnancy is a bit hard on my body, so the doctor wants me to take it easy.
i have to say i love being home with my kids. i love all the mundane day to day things that have to be done... take kymora to and from school, make lunches, laundry, naps, play time, answering silly questions, baking, etc. i love it when kainoa wakes up and asks me, 'you gonna stay with me today'? when i say yes, his face lights up and he gives me a big hug. he understands that i don't have to go to work and i get to lounge with him all day.

i love waking up to him setting up his cars for the big race:


i love knowing what time his shows come on tv. i love having a routine with him.
and it's nice when kymora comes home from school there's still a lot of time to play outside, have a snack, do homework.... basically just hang out.



normally, by the time i get home its a rush to do homework, shower, dinner, etc. the days are spent w/me yelling at her to get stuff done. i just need to stop, take a breath, and enjoy whatever time w/the kids. soon, there will be a third and some ones time will get taken away from mommy :(
