A Kid's Life For Me



Could you just die for those little "Dora" gardening gloves?



I am always telling my kids I want to freeze "this" moment so they won't grow up - - ever. There are many moments of complete charm and joy. These are just a few from my youngest charmer:



Does this not scream, "Kid"?



 I've been smiling at this little trike (from my kitchen window) all day. Even its tracks make me smile. Maybe seeing this is a sort of nostalgia-Little-House-on-the-Prairie thing for me, but I love it.

Our other daughter had a "late night" the other night, so I took our son out for ice cream and guess what the youngest got her daddy to do?

Tonight my husband thought I had texted him saying I was trying to "cane" the kids when I was actually saying, "calm" the kids (just a minor texting mishap). I do love 'em and am officially reporting they make me happy today. (For the record, he suggested there are alternative parenting methods out there)
