What I've Learned From My Children

The point of raking leaves is to jump in them...
It's okay to feel...
grumpy sometimes...

silly often...

and happy as much as you can.

I should take pride in small accomplishments...
Dressing up is fun...
Being helpful is the best way to live my life...
There is joy in perfectly ordinary things...
Cake you've sneaked off the plate and eaten is the bomb (and that when I find crumb covered faces, a crumb covered table, and a crumb covered plate hidden in the refrigerator...the best thing to do is laugh).
If I try new things I'll probably find that I like it just fine...

My daughter's smile is more beautiful than flowers...
And that good books...
and a nap after lunch are a must!

Amen sister! Those kids of yours sure have the right ideas about life. I can't wait to see them (and you) this summer!

These are better than Anne Geddes and you didn't have to sew any costumes you can almost see the wheels turning in your darling kids minds. :) So much fun!!
