The little moments that make my life magic

I wish to seize these daily moments, which could go so easily unnotices, forever and forever: Picking-up and blowing dandelion seeds with my toddler. Listening my pre-teen detailed presentation of every dog race we encounter in our walks to the park. Accepting a trade to playing sudoku in the evening with my girly to evening story. Walking street borders hand in hand with my baby. Listening to the incredible enthousiasm and expression of my 5-year old on his recently built lego car. Helping my crafter sew a doll. Or prepare an origami. Or a miniature house. Baking Finnish cinnamon rolls with my girls making a mess of my kitchen. Bringing my little ones to the pre-school next door. Greeting our friend neighbours on our way. Dreaming of secondary school with my pre-teen. Dreaming of the end of building works and decorations of the rooms for my girls. Blowing on the bobos to make them go away and seeing them heal every time. Giving the 10th hug & kisses to little ones way past the sleeping time. Giving them "halipuli" in the evening, meaning the HUGE cuddling battle on our bed. Preparing the picknick and lunch to 4 boxes every morning. Playing tennis with my daughters and son, despite we spend way more time picking up balls than playing. Eating a family sushi on Wednesdays. Witnessing the joy of kids taking delivery mans' parcels and opening them. If only the thrill on each of their face could be captured! Doing the round on each room in the evening, spending a little special moment with each of them, to wrap-up the days big moments and concerns. Helping them do their homework. Rehearsing for exams. Sharing the success of exam well done. Bathing my baby girl, still fitting in the baby bath. Taking the measure of them on our kitcher pillar and admiring how much they've grown. watching together baby photos and telling them stories from their babyhood. Sitting down in the afternoon ans holding an art session - evrybody is on their crayons. Reading to my toddler and drifting to a sweet gentle restorative afternoon nap next to her. Singing Finnish childrens songs with her and witnessing her trying to imitate the oh-so-complicated-and-long words. Taking my son to his twice-weekly session at the logopede, whom he loves. Having together a family Friday movie&chips evening. Going for a run with my pre-teen and enjoying together the post-run glow while streching in the backyard. Receiving mother's days singing, hugs and heart-brakingly-adorable self-crafted gifts, which become all priceless to me. I will stop here for now, while knowing clearly: I am the luckiest girl on earth and I love every bit and piece of my life! Thank you universe for all these little blessings you have send to enlighten my each and every day. Moments with them are more precious than anything I can imagine and I truly will cherish them until days end.
