Sometimes I forget....

So, Matt decided to bring home a surprise for the kids last week...a huge blow up punch toy with Spider-man on it. I gave him a look that said "just what they need...more STUFF". He just smiled back and blew up the aforementioned toy. For the next day I grumpily put up with the constant punching and flapping of the toy, thinking of ways to get back at Matt for purchasing the thing. Well, as I was cleaning up the front room during the kids' nap time, I walked past the punch toy and gave it a good, grumpy whack. I found myself pausing, and giving it another good whack. What followed was a good two minutes of me letting loose on Spiderman with a stupid grin on my face. Maddi walked in to see what was going on...I, a little breathlessly, laughed and after tucking her back into bed, put away the punch toy, no longer on my DI list. It was a good reminder that sometimes I forget what it was like as a kid and that I need to stay in touch with that. Thanks, Spidey.
