It Makes My Heart Glow

Evan says this now, anytime someone does something kind, or says something kind to him.

"It makes my heart glow"

And he smiles.

 I know I'm probably partial to that smile, in fact I'm sure I am,

But that smile makes my heart glow.

This was on an afternoon I had planned to clean.



Evan had other plans for us.

He said, "The girls get to have a fun afternoon, why can't we?"

(He was refering to them being dropped off at their Girls Club)

I knew he was right

but it is hard to put the work aside sometimes.

and I know the work needs to be done,

but on this day

after a specific request from my son,

how could I say no?

We played "monster tag",

and he giggled so hard he had to stop running at times.



And we discussed our shadows

as I pushed him on the swing.



When our shadows hid from us, and the wind picked up

it was time to head to the van for water

and to warm up a bit.

Then time to head home, where I faced this...

The tree that needs taken down. 

Remind me to fire my little "house cleaning fairies".

They suck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I continued to ignore that mess

and instead enjoyed more time with my boy.

I'm so glad I listened to my boy

and my heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This day, this special time with Evan

really made my heart glow.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Make it special!

And for the record, the cleaning fairies never came,

but I managed to clean it all the next day.

And the tree comes down today.
