I have a goal to post more of the little day-to-day things of my life, so I can remember and cherish them. (My children are just growing too fast! I want to savor it all.)
It's already tomorrow (Wed) as I write this, but for me it's still today (Tues) so, today, some precious moments included:
Hearing my baby (age 9 now) singing some happy song. Can't even remember now (see why I need to write things down?)
Finally being able to take #2 to school. She's been sick. But wow, she's maturing a lot with how she deals with hard things. I'm so proud of her.
Watching #2 and #3 throw a bday party for their Build-a-Bears.
Making dinner according to what #3's Build-a-Bear's favorite food is. (Tacos, in case you were wondering.)
Bagging the Easy-Bake cake idea (why did I buy that thing in the first place?) and instead giving the girls each a little cup of fondue chocolate with some pretzels and mini-marshmallows. OH THE JOY that was on their faces.
Curling up with #2 to read her Revolutionary War stories. Really amazing to read about youths who did some amazing things. (Consequently, she couldn't sleep. Ah, well. I then got to cuddle with her while she read The Friend to get her mind off of the war track.)
Lest you think I forgot #1, I didn't. It was just one of those days when he was pretty much in his own world working on homework. But I was proud of him for the way he focused on it.
Sometimes I hate the whole homework thing, to be honest.
Fave other little thing -- at the store, hearing a child in the other aisle singing, the smiley-frowny face song from Primary.
And getting lots of healthy food from the bulk bins at WinCo. (WinCo, where have you been all of my life?)
I love it!
ReplyDeleteWinco has been in the NW. :) I'm not crazy about Winco but I do get a few things from there.
Love the playfulness of your kids.
Thanks for the nice little slice of your mom life. Really fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think we need a WinCo here...our prices in No. Cal. are ridiculous.
=)
Good reminder. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I'm not crazy about WinCo, either, except when I am. Like any store, I'm crazy about the things it's great for -- like bulk foods, and some other things I use often like cream cheese.
ReplyDeleteSue, Annette, thanks for your comments. I need the reminders, too, Annette. It's why I think I may be blogging more often. ;)
