Turn signal, right turn
Continue to drive Garage door button Wait for it to rise Pull in, park Ignition off Sliding doors open One kid races inside Diaper bag, car seat Middle child’s hand in mine We walk to the house Starting the after-work grind School bags, snow boots Lunch boxes come next Work bag, water bottle Keys and coat in hand One by one Bags and boys disappear The clutter is gone Leaving just one more The baby in the car seat Smiling big and bright Despite what has happened And what the night has in store For just a few moments It’s just us, and we’re home

Oh, I love this! I love the sweetness of the boys and you and the baby waiting for you. It must be exhausting but also seeing that big smile....joyful! Love the name of your blog, too.

This is so, so, so familiar. I love the description of the wildness of all the stuff and all the kids. Then slowing down at the end with just you and baby. So very sweet!
