Today I had a sweet moment in the garden with Henry. I had let my strawberries grow in the aisles so my friend could get some transplants from me. So today she came to get them and while Henry and I were pulling out the extras and the hiding weeds he began to sing primary songs. We sang and talked together about many things and I will never forget this little moment of joy in my journey.
Thanks bud!
I have already had enough of the free for all days of summer. That’s pretty bad seeing that today is only the third day of summer…
Here is my solution… another list to follow….
| What do I do… | Aubrie | Keeley | Henry | Jesse | Andee |

if you’d like a Word copy of the file that you could customize for your family let me know and I’ll email it to you.
If my kids get finished with the tasks in the box before the time allotment is over, then they get to have points added to their ‘Friday computer game time’. My kids will do just about anything for a few minutes on the computer – it is always earned time – never just for the asking. I know, I know…that’s what helps me keep my position as ‘the meanest mom ever’ in tact.
Here’s to hoping for more organized ‘crazy days of summer’…
With…
Henry’s birthday…
making everything clean and having fun while doing it…
Matt’s 40th b-day…
playing in the dirt/expanding the garden…
having baby #6…
isn’t Remi sweet…
taking kitchen cruises…
getting belly buttons…
Tracker, our new puppy, doesn’t everyone need a new baby and a new puppy all at the same time…
baby blessings and family visiting…
significant fishing trips with grandpa, Bailey, Aubrie and Daddy…
baseball season… see Henry above the ‘R’…
better late than never birthday parties…
more birthdays with pierced ears and makeup…
growing babies…
classroom presentations that mommy takes really great photos of…see Henry’s nice haircut…
fun, fun, fun preschool outings…
where we feed the fish…
and get rides on the lawn cart…
more fun with bubble baths…
more birthday fun…
beautiful stormy days…
award assemblies that mom actually makes it to…
and growing babies…
As you can see, this is why I don’t post very often. I’m too busy living life and enjoying my family… I hope your days are filled with happiness, the wonder of life, and you are as grateful for all of the blessings the Lord gives to us as I am! Isn't life wonderful.
