Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Sidewalk

I couldn't believe my eyes. When we arrived at the 

horse show on Friday afternoon I told the kids to wait 

in the area right in front of our car. Marcus plopped himself 

down on the sidewalk and Allie joined him (without being told
to pose). These spontaneous, affectionate moments make
motherhood so special. 

2. Inspiring

My daughter's faith is so inspiring to me. She 

planted a flower in her class at church on Wednesday night.

 She got home and pulled up the window shade and set her 

little flower pot on her window sill. The next morning she woke

 up and announced to everyone, "It grew!!" Whether the flower 
grew or not, I don't know. But, I do know she taught me in 

that instant about childlike faith. Oh, how I need more

of that. Thank you, my sweet Allie.

3. Time

On Friday night, the kids had such a fun time sleeping 

on our pullout sleeper sofa in the front room. They 

thought it was a special treat. They are too cute!

4. Close up

This is a close up picture of the box of donuts Josh brought 

home with him on Monday. He usually gets home on Mondays 

in the early afternoons. However, he had a client that needed to 

reschedule, which meant he came home a little later. So, she knew 

this and brought me and the kids a "peace offering" to bless us. 

We happily received it and ate all of these delicious donuts...
then went into sugar shock!

5. With Mirror

I heard running water. When I looked in the bathroom  

mirror, this is what Allie was up to. She was filling an itty bitty 

mint container (now emptied) with water to fill up her itty bitty

 baby bottle for her dolls. No, I don't understand the thinking 

behind this, but that's ok. She understands what I was

 thinking and said right away, "Don't worry Mom, I'll clean 
up the mess." That's my girl!
