Here are six things making me smile today…
1. Caleb is our little contrarian lately. He will argue just for the sake of arguing. Clothes, food, the color of the sky…you name it, he wants to argue about it. BUT we do agree on one thing…Martha Stewart! If we’re home I like to turn on Martha Stewart during lunch. And he loves it. His favorite is the cooking segments, and the animals.
2. We planted two bluebonnet plants in the backyard. I just love bluebonnets! And all Texas wildflowers for that matter. We’re leaving tomorrow for a Robinson Family Reunion in Fredericksburg, and I’m determined to get the kids in them for pictures. But I love looking out the window at these little ones.
(having to fight thru the hosta that comes back every year)
3. Knitting. My grandmother taught me how to knit once when I was visiting her in Colorado as a little girl. I’ve always wanted to take it up again. I got a book and watched several videos on-line, and have finally got the hang of it. Definitely took some diligence, but I enjoy sitting and knitting while watching American Idol. Derek keeps asking me what I’m going to make and my answer is "nothing". I don’t know how to follow a pattern! I think I’ll just make square dish rags for the time being.
4. Craigs LIst. I am hooked on this on-line garage sale. I jokingly call it "Aladdin’s Genie". I feel like I can ask for something, and find it cheap on Craig’s LIst. We’ve recently found a trampoline net (the exact one that fits our trampoline), a hiking backpack for Samuel to go in (brand new – never used), a bike rack for the Suburban (holds 4 bikes)…so Derek can ride when we travel, and two antique chairs (I’ve already talked about these, but here’s a picture – pillow from Dillards).
5. These flowers that my mom and Steve sent me recently. Two dozen pink roses.
6. This picture. He moved, so I missed, but something about it makes me smile. I love that sweet little mouth of his.
