Finding Joy - Week 9

The joys:

* mauryn snuggling with morgan while she does her school work

* landon in his favorite work spot... on the floor usually laying on his pillow pet

* learning about egypt and making landon into a mummy.  their laughter and delight was contagious

* this sassy little girl brings our family so much joy

* a chocolate covered face

 

* i mentioned in my joys a few weeks ago how mauryn's four year old speak brings me so much joy.  i completely forgot to include my favorite of her words.  she has a notebook she "writes" in and carries everywhere. it is her diary but she calls it her diarrhea. ha!

* mauryn came down with a cough which for her means regular neb treatments.  her cough allowed us a sunday morning full of snuggles and punky brewster episodes. loved this quiet morning with my little spitfire.

* waking up to snow on monday morning.  

* due to the snow and some families being sick our homeschool co op was cancelled.  we got a SNOW DAY!  playing in the snow, movies, games, and reading. a much needed day of doing nothing.

* on monday night we celebrated landon and our neighbor Amiah's birthday with their "family" birthday dinner.  we tried out a new to us restaurant in Boise {more on this fun place later}.

* introducing morgan, who loves ALL things mint, to mcdonalds shamrock shake.  

* finding these cute ottoman's on sale at target for the girls' room.  i love the color and that they have storage.  even though i love their bright colors and how they match to polka dots on the walls, i am not sure if i am going to keep them hence the tags still attached to them.

* mauryn's kids sure love the new ottoman's

* mauryn the little mother is sure to take care of all her kids.  she spends her days rocking, feeding, nurturing, snuggling, and loving her dolls and stuffed animals

* two of my favorite blog friends shared their cardboard testimonies this week. so proud of their courage and love their hearts.  janelle is sharing her story this week on her blog.  grab your kleenex. i know it has been tugging on my heart strings.

* warm spring like days for biking, playing, reconnecting with neighbors, playing with chalk, and enjoying fresh air
