Grace in small things, September 4, 2015

1. Story hour + crafts at the library today...the kids made the cutest little birds and had so much fun. "Mommy I love doing crafts," Zo said as she carefully glued pieces of green tissue paper to her styrofoam cup with Elmer's glue. Love it...

2. Me, seeing the kids playing with a basket of wooden eggs: "What are you guys doing?" Luke: "I'm going to eggs.com to find the perfect egg." How the heck does he know about .com anything??? Too funny. They say kids are growing up different these days...

3. Our bathrooms are spic and span thanks to my lilac surface cleaner (which smells amazing) among other things...I like to clean...who knew? I've been so busy my whole life making it in the professional world...there are these little pleasures I never knew about...

4. Reading to the kids before nap. And to Luke about an hour into nap when he couldn't sleep. (How nice to be able to take a little break and do that for him!) We've got a whole new stack of library books, and the ones I've read so far are so good...

5. Our next door neighbor came over the other day to see if we could keep the TV down at night when he's trying to sleep. We were happy to do it...we want to be good neighbors. He brought over a gift certificate yesterday to a restaurant we haven't tried yet as a thank you to us for being so nice about it...it was so nice...above and beyond...
