A Few of my Favorite Things Today


We are home from a trip. We are getting back to our routines. We have had a full day of cleaning, chores, and regular meal and nap times. Even though its hard work, it feels good to get the house organized again, the laundry organized, and the kids on a routine again. It really does bring happiness to my life.

After the work was done, the kids ran outside to play. I decided to wait on folding the laundry and go play with them for a little break before I start back at the cleaning again. I'm so glad I did. I pushed Buster on the swing, and he laughed every time I pinched his toes when he swung towards me.

I walked over to smell the roses, they were practically beckoning me with their gorgeous color and full bloom. Mmmm.  The smelt so good. They are so beautiful and full this year. They make me happy.

Then I heard whispers. And that's when I grabbed the camera. I captured a scene that happens often. Liv and Warner playing under "Liv's tree", having a little pow wow. I love that they are such good friends. Upon further observation I realized they are pretending they are Jack and Rosalinda. I dont' know where the story goes from there, but at least they are having fun with their characters.

I decided to take a picture of our garden too, because it makes me happy to see things grow. Our carrots, lettuce, strawberries, rhubarb, blueberries, parsley, snap peas, and mint have done awesome. Our onions, peppers, tomatoes, raspberries, and pear trees have not done so awesome this year, but there is still time.

Happy Friday to you friends and family, or the one person that actually still reads my blog (Hi Momma Brown, thanks for reading still!)

Isn't it a special thing to watch your kids' friendship? I feel so grateful that my kids have each other. We miss you guys. It was so good to be together. Your kids hold a special place in all of our hearts.

You caught me Jess. I laughed at that last sentence. I love your blog--it makes me feel a part of your family. You are such a good mom. Miss you!!
