I have been smiling at Marcia's "Things Making Me Happy" blog post for 24 hours now. I popped over to [finally] write a response, and I decided instead I'd blog about it.
These days I still feel like I'm running like a nut...the summer is zipping by...but all in all, everything is good. So what's making me happy these days???
Off the top of my head:
1) My girls taking swimming lessons. I love seeing them working so hard and having success...and of course, having fun. I love their teacher, and I'm so thankful we found her!
2) Fresh fruit. We've picked cherries and blueberries over the past couple of weeks, and we've been able to buy tons of yummy grapes, strawberries, and melons at incredible prices, too. We've been eating fruit four or five times a day (instead of our usual three)...there's just so much goodness to pack into the day! We'll be heading to the orchard this week, as their peaches are just beginning to come in. I can't wait!!!
3) Miss Jenny. I am so thankful for such a wonderful friend to our family. The girls get so excited every Friday morning when I remind them, "It's Friday! Do you know what that means?"
4) Eating out for breakfast. Hubby and I used to love to eat out for breakfast once upon a time. Once the girls were born we did it only a couple of times until they were close to four. It's such an easy meal to make at home, I always rationalized I'd rather just cook and "save" that eating out for another meal. We've recently found a nice little mom-and-pop diner, and we've been out for breakfast every couple of weeks. It's such an awesome treat to eat hot pancakes and have someone bring me coffee!
5) Pictures of my girls blowing bubbles. I have taken a TON of those this summer...and I can't seem to choose my favorites. I love them all!!!
6) Crafting. I don't get to do it as often as I'd like, but it's always good for my soul. I'm due some craft time one of these evenings soon!
7) Being *relatively* caught up on pictures. They'd go a lot faster if I'd quit taking pictures of the girls blowing bubbles...but I can't do that. :)
There are many more things, of course, but that's a super-quick list.
Thanks to Marcia for the inspiration (as always!!!)!

Yummy summer fruits will make me happy too. The colors and the taste YUM
And who can resist kids blowing bubbles - not me for sure
Ha! I love that such a hodge-podge post of mine is getting (at this count) 3 other people linking up and writing :)
And I just wanted something to do with random photos :)
I'm about to kiss the babies goodnight, and then make a cup of tea and blog about my goals for June and so on. You know this is my favourite day of every month :)
