Spare time.... right.

I have a 3 year old son full time and an 8 year old daughter whenever I can get her. We recently moved into a new house and with a new place comes my list of projects. One of the "to do" lists I made was titled "spare time projects" . . . Ha! I glanced at it last night and couldn't remember the last time I had enough spare time to do much more than wipe something down or take out the trash etc. My wife works full time (and very hard I might add). It takes both of us every ounce of juice that we have to even remotely keep up with the unstoppable 1000 mph freight train that is our son, add in his sister.....forget about it. We just hold on and try to enjoy the ride. Most important (to me) is actually spending the time. Toys, games, clothes can all be bought for our children, none of those compare to the gift that is our time actively participating in their world as well as including them in ours. . . Live. Laugh. Love... Spend the time NOW.
