wind and silliness

the other day the wind was so strong, it literally blew sofie over in the front yard.

ryan came home for lunch and he said, "this is the only way you'll ever get a broom to fly". and we went on our lunchy way.

we look out front and we find the girls...doing this:

when we asked...b replies, "well, if we can get this broom to fly, we have to give it a try."

and try the did...

i love that...my girlies are so creative and fun...and silly.
and where do they learn that? don't know!

and yes, in case you were wondering, we are THOSE people. oh well. we have fun. who would stifle a kids creativity by taking away an old garage broom??

They are just the most precious babes! And yes, we're those people too. Who says Ryder can't wear his lizard golashes with everything, Ruby Jane can't wear her way too large tutu in the front yard and sweet Linc can't drag his blankie EVERYWHERE? Who says? We have more fun being "those people." ;D {{HUGS}}

That is adorable. That's awesome that you support creativity. Shoot, I just took my youngest to lunch. He was sporting his 'Cars'rainboots, shorts and his fav yellow tshirt.

Their imaginations are great! I hope that they will always have fun with stuff like that broom. It beats being cooped up indoors.
This is what childhood memories are made of! So cute!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
