Stuff That Never Grows Old…
1)
Hearing the girls tell each other, “I love you.”
2)
Seeing Baby A tuck her baby dolls in for bed…she
has a very elaborate system for keeping them cozy, and it so warms my heart.
3)
Eating out for Saturday lunch. We tried a new restaurant downtown, and –
among many other little pleasures – it makes me so proud to see the girls
enjoying the new tastes (and shunning the children’s menu).
4)
Joining the girls’ friends for a birthday
celebration.
5)
Seeing my shadow flanked by my girlies’, walking
through the neighborhood.
New Stuff This Week…
6)
Listening to the girls answer questions with
Daddy for the Mother’s Day quiz. I’m so
glad I sneaked around the corner to hear them!
7)
Hearing my girls wish me “Happy Mother’s Day!”
8)
Making Monkey Munch together as part of my
Mother’s Day treat.
9)
Hosting Aunt Shanda for her birthday breakfast
on Wednesday. The girls were so excited
to see the festivities.
10)
The girls noting their favorite part of
breakfast: B said, “The muffins,” and A said, “Aunt Shanda”…awwww!
11)
As we were out for a walk one afternoon, we saw
a lot of cars parked at one house (seven, the girls counted). A
said, “They probably have some people visiting.” And B commented, “That’s a good hypothesis.” Hahaha!
12)
The girls asking me to take their picture before
bed one night…a very rare treat, one that this mama was very happy to indulge!
13)
A new outside game, beanbag toss. The girls have asked to play it every day,
and they are so very happy when they score.
14)
At the birthday party, both girls petted the dog. They LOVE animals, but they are usually too
skittish to pet one. This was a major
deal!
And While I Don’t Want to Make a Habit of It…
15)
Baby A had some trouble going to sleep a couple
of nights. She called for me several
times. I finally asked her why she was
doing that. Her reply? “I just love you and I want to see you.”
Amid the inevitable craziness, the fabulousness is what I want to remember.

Those sure are A LOT of things to be thankful for and make you feel super-tan-fabulous!!!
happy weekend friend!
They do say the cutest things!!! The other day, Tommy said to me as I got him out of his crib, "Mommy, you're so pretty!" So sweet!
I love how observant kids are at this age, and the things the come out of their darling little mouths are just too cute! Claire was going on and on about how beeeea-utiful a wind up whale was in tar-jay.
I must ask, is this kiddy beanbags or are you fine-tuning their cornhole skills?! LOL!
Love all the fabulousness!
Hope you add to the fab this beautiful weekend!
(PS-so impressed with the use of the word "hypothesis"!)
Hypothesis?? I'm certain my 5 year olds don't even know that word!! Such smarties!
Yeah for another great week and finding all the little blessings that abound!
PS...I'll be catching up tonight on blogs! Sorry I am so far behind!
