Noey's Bubble Love

I have never had a child adore bubbles as much as Noah does. Good thing I FOUND this great recipe!

This is his favorite shirt. Hims dino RAWR shirt! Had I known how he would love the creatures I would have bought one in every size...no joke. Also notice his pig tattoo. That tattoo started his whole pig love and he now signs it quite often. :)






Summer in July

I am so shocked at how FAST July has flown by! It has been a hard summer and one we will never forget. I can't say it has been a relaxing summer...it has been a strange one. I am hoping and praying for a more low key fall in our future. I need it so badly.

I have made sure the children have had some enjoyment and we (Matthew and I) have tried so hard to shelter them from what we have been going through. And through them we see the joy of childhood. :) And it makes it all better. It also makes it all worth it! ;)

A huge bottle of bubbles can be had for around $2 and it makes for lots of fun. They can stay out there for 3o minutes or so with all that soapy fun.

Remy and Elijah have put that pool to GREAT use this summer. It is already here at our house and how inviting it is, it just begs for us to forget our cares and splash around. And if you can use the dive toys you got from the school store it is even better. ;)

Our garden gives us time to tend something other than ourselves. Weeding out the wee little garden gives us satisfaction for free. And how fun it is to see little okra pods, beans, cucumbers, baby corns, and watermelon flowers.

Finding joy in our world is not hard...you have only to look. :)

Matthew may have a second job, please pray about this for us if you pray. :)
