Life is Dangerous
So last night at dinner the kids were having hot dogs and Harper said, "I can't eat this, it will kill me." Quinn looked at her and said, "If it does, don't worry Harper, everytime we see a hot dog, we'll think of you." Then later, when I asked her to go to bed, she replied "Awww mama, if I do that, it will kill me like a dog being whipped by a one eyed crocodile." Happy to report, she made it.

Bits and Pieces
Writing to remember a few snippets from today...
In random order:
Harper: At dinner, she said, "Mama, do you know you have the best mama smile ever?" I don't know what she's up to, and frankly, I don't care. I'll take it :)
Quinn: This afternoon the kids went door to door looking for work. (Yes we feed them) Surprisingly, a neighbor told them to pick up sticks from the yard and she would pay them $2 each. She went to give them the money beforehand, and Quinn gave it back to her saying that he couldn't take it until she saw the job he had done. I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM!!! I saw a glimmer of the man that I pray for him to be.
Nate: After the kids brought their money home to show us, Ben told them that they now had to pay taxes. Running away upstairs, Nate yelled as he went, "I don't believe in taxes."
Judah: It is so fun to walk hand in hand with Judah. He is so short and his little legs are so chubby, that he has to take five steps for every one of mine. I love it. I looked down at him today as we were walking and felt happiness and sadness at the same time. It is such a precious time, that will be gone all too quickly...
Sonora: Alright, I admit, I saved this one for last. The first words I heard this morning have stuck with me all day...She walked down the stairs, and the first thing out of her mouth was, "What is that ugly smell? Smells like chicken."

A Perfect Day
Today was a perfect day.
Beautiful weather, awesome agenda of activities, interesting conversations, loving family, and a day where smiles lit up every moment. My heart is full.
Here is what I managed to capture from what the girls called "the best, most best day EVER!"...
The atmosphere, service, and TEA were fantastic! What a treat!!
FINALLY at the barn!
The riding lesson started with a grooming lesson.
More grooming...although, this was considerably more scary!
Harper riding after all her hard work.
Sonora learning the reins.
Getting ready to brush AGAIN :)
I LOVE this picture...it sums up the day for me...ALL SMILES!

Tea Party
Yesterday, the girls and I had the opportunity to go to a Tea Party at a friends house, thanks to our Keeper's group. We learned about tea, how it is made, various uses, and a bit about etiquette. We had a great time, and learned a lot!
The girls and I before we left home.
Getting settled.
Listening and learning about tea.
Finally, TEA!
Beautiful smile :)
Treats
And more treats...
It was a wonderful afternoon with tea and friends!

ET Walker
Tonight Judah was walking on the treadmill (it wasn't on :) and Harper said "he walks like...like...ET!"
I guess maybe he does!
