Maybe it was all the milk bubbles!

This morning was SO AWESOME!! The kids got these straws at Hunter's Birthday Party last night, and I had promised them that they could blow milk bubbles in the morning. Of course they remembered, and this is what Brad and Luke did for at least an hour all the while Charity and Kelly were getting ready for school- it was so fun.



Kelly was especially happy this morning! For whatever reason. She came bouncing up the stairs in an outfit that actually matched (I was ecstatic!!). She NEVER does this on the first try!! So this was huge! But she just floated around the kitchen, helping me make breakfast, and setting the table- it was quite pleasant. Not that she's always grumpy or something and this was totally new, but there was just a certain peace this morning. I liked it :)
This is her "I'll be eating that last piece of French Toast" face


Even Noah was really happy this morning. Could have been the sweet potatoes- I think those are almost his fav.


And more bubbles (how embarrassing that they are drinking out of plastic containers!! for some reason they like to eat out of the "bug catchers"- after we wash them of course :)) Which reminds me- this morning I noticed a cup in the pantry. I pulled it out and looked in it and guess what I saw...... DEAD POTATO BUGS!!! AAAHHHH!!!!! How disgusting is THAT! UGH! It makes me sick just thinking about it. I must say I am looking forward to that part about the winter- no more bug hunting (as much as my kids love it- I'm sick of the bugs in my house!!)


Yeah, so it was just a really nice morning. Everyone seemed happy and easy-going. I was happy. They were doing nice things for each other and sharing things without being asked. It was just heavenly. Even on the way to school. I felt the Spirit very strongly all morning, which if you're like me, you know this is not an easy thing in the morning. Unfortunately. I hate how chaotic my mornings are sometimes because I don't like that being how it feels for my girls before they leave for the day. But anyway, this was priceless. I am grateful.
