My Little Stars

Honestly, if this doesn't melt your heart, you're not human.

10 on 2sday on a Wednesday

10. As of yesterday, the Abster's divorce was final.

9. Joni called me last night, and that made me happy.

8. Jennie is hard to wake up. The other day when she finally got out of bed she discovered her sisters were all already dressed and ready to go. And she throws up her arms and says, "Great, I'm going to miss the bus!" I died laughing. Grace says this all the time. Then I told Jennie she didn't even ride the bus. And she said, "Oh, yeah."

7. I read Bambie to the twins last night. It was painful. I couldn't get a sentence read without a whole line of questioning and comments. "Where was Bambie's mom shot?" "In the chest?" "No, in the forest," the other answered. "Who shot his mommy?" "Why do people shoot deers?" "Why are the animals talking?" "We have rabbits in our backyard." "I don't want anybody to shoot you, Mommy." "Mommy isn't a deer!" It went on and on. I've gotta hide that book.

6. The neighbors across the road is having work done on their house. There are two Mexicans working on it. We were talking about it a lot last night because they had Mexican music playing and the big girls were asking questions about different kinds of people having different music. This morning, we go out to get in the car and Josie yells to them, "Good morning, Mexicans!" Jennie scolds her, "Them not Mexicans, them strangers!" I told them they were both right . . . they were Mexican strangers.

5. I just sent a text to Grace that said I was dying for Red Lobster and she wrote back, "Ok?" Lol. I can just see her face.

4. Grace tied the twins' blankets in knots this morning, and then wanted me to text Eddie and tell him that it made her miss him :)

3. I got a note from the school nurse that Faith got a scratch under her eye at school. Wow. Glad I had the warning. It was brutal.

2. The American Girl order has been placed. It took them almost two months to decide what they were going to get. Gonna be exciting!

1. I did it!!! And only a day late.

10 on 2sday

Beautiful Thoughts

I want all of my days to be filled with what you see right here . . . what is visible and what the images represent.

Zooing with my Baby

What I love about Faith is that she's is so in love with animals. She always has been. Her eyes soften, her approach is so gentle. She for sure doesn't get that from me. She's a sweet little girl. I'm so glad I got to spend this day with her.

Going in for the Kill

The coach told her she was as fast as lightening. It's true. Fastest kid you've ever seen.

Pride of my Garden

We planted the garden on May 1st. It was a glorious spring day. Then three days later it got down to 28 degrees and killed the tomato plants that were covered up. They got replanted. But it didn't matter, this day was wonderful. Good for the mind, body and soul.

I love the one of Jennie digging topless. At least I'm teaching them to be comfortable in their own skin. Hell, the world will teach them to be modest and ashamed, so my plan is to teach them to own it.

May you bloom where you were planted, little seeds.
