Some People Are Worth Melting For

Danielle was not feeling well last night, so everyone else went on with the scheduled chaos, but she and I hung out at home...chilling with the movie FROZEN.

Sometimes, with 5 kids, I worry that I do not give enough one-on-one time to each one.  Brad and I do our best to make date opportunities for each of them once in a while, but I know I have a couple that really crave that special time and need the attention.  So, despite the fact that Danielle was not feeling extremely well...we had a great time together... all by ourselves.

I love the movie FROZEN for the music in it, but I also love the twist that the love story is not the typical "guy meets girl" story...it has that in it...of course, but that is not the "act of true love" that warms Anna's heart.  This one has a sister connection and an act of love between the siblings.  I am so happy they presented this kind of love.

I really like Olaf too!  I like the song he sings about summer, but I laugh really hard when he is trying to make a fire to take care of Anna and he is melting in the process....it is one of the funniest...sweetest things when he says, "Some people are worth melting for!"  It is extremely important to me that I bless my kids...that they receive a blessing from me that translates to "you are wonderful, you are valuable, I am privileged to be your mom...something like..."you are worth melting for".  Savannah and McKenna still always want Brad and I to tuck them in at night and there have been evenings where I have just wanted to watch TV or blog or read and I have thought, (shame on me) "how long do other people tuck their kids in?"..."I mean, isn't there an age where you don't do that anymore?"....but, our seasons of life change so quickly...Winter does melt into Spring...and I have realized I need to give them the attention while I can.  AND, I praise God that they still want that time with me.
