My five favorite little moments of this week.
1. Watching the girls play in this tall grass:
I took the next picture thinking I was going to capture a total “Little House on the Prairie” moment as they were running, slightly downhill, through the grass. Laura and Mary for sure:
2. Our “Secret, Special Snack” up on the platform of the swing set. They thought this was pretty awesome, and kept talking about all the animals that wouldn’t be able to “get us” or take our snack because we were up so high. My arm wasn’t long enough to get a selfie of all four of us:
3. My eldest in a nice display of sisterly love and helpfulness.
4. The other night after I put the girls to bed, I saw several deer right near the house drinking from the pond.
I could hear that Miss was still awake, so I ran downstairs to get her so she could see them. The first thing she said, when I told her there were deer right by the house and I wanted her to see them was, “I can’t believe I’m up so late!!!!” She giggled like she was getting away with something and ran back up the stairs with me. She said the same thing over and over. “I can’t believe I’m up so late!”
Clearly it was much more exciting to be up out of bed five minutes after I had tucked her in than to see four deer up close.
5. The fishing tournament weigh-in.
My husband and our brother-in-law won the tournament.
The girls kept grabbing his plaque and telling their cousins, “My Dad won this.” The pride in their voices was priceless.
Happy Father’s Day to my BFF.
