Yellow

Yellow is a color that has really grown on my the past couple years.  It started while I was living with Amy.  Yellow is Amy's favorite color and it embodies her personality.  She is just sweet, sunshiny and happy. 

Now, I love all the yellow that is in style for clothes and decorating.  Yellow just seems to light up your mood.

Today I got to watch these two adorable little boys! 

Since I was searching for a "yellow" photo op, I seemed to notice every yellow thing.  Many "kid" things seem to include yellow, like these blocks. 

They had yellow cars, books with yellow in them, yellow blocks, yellow room decor, and we played at a water park with yellow structures.  It is such a happy color. 

Now that I have displayed my photo, I just wanted to record a little about today.  Alison went to her best friends wedding, so I got to be mom for a day.  Her boys are so well behaved that I wasn't worried about anything.  Alison also leaves "lesson plans" that outline everything for me.  Besides our daily activities, we got to visit a waterpark with some friends.  I seriously have the best friends!  I know I have been saying that a lot lately.  I just feel like I have finally found my place.  I just had to learn to go to things even though I sometimes feel awkward without kids. 

Anyways, back to my day.  The boys were so good and so sweet.  One of them kept telling me he loved me and giving me hugs.  It was so cute.  We played a ton and we were all tired by the end of the day.  I have done a ton of babysitting and nannying in my life, but I actually gained a new insight today.  In my past experiences, I wasn't married and didn't have a house.  Now I understand how mothers' TO DO lists pile up.  I can't imagine getting any house/yard work done with multiple kids around.  So, to all those mother's out there, I am more impressed by all you do now!
