Bless your flower pickin' heart

I love flowers, all different colors and kinds...

I think the little prince knows I like them! Every time we go "exploring" or on a walk, I point out the beautiful, colorful flowers, and smell them. When I first started doing that, prince thought he was supposed to eat the flower.. oh oh..
....now he knows how to smell them, he takes a whiff and says "ahhh" :)

See our beautiful flower arrangement?!?! We're mighty proud of it... prince and I hand picked them ourselves!

I just got a cute little jar and "arranged" them in while the prince exclaimed, "priti," "priti",
We enjoyed looking at them all day...

To other mommies out there, you don't necessarily have to do fancy things with your kids...do what you can with what you have. You'll find beauty in the most simple things!!

Have a blessed day!!!

Babysitting fun!

My mom and I had the privilege to babysit 5 adorable little ones yesterday! We had 6 little ones total :) It was such fun! Little ones crack me up! They're always saying funny things!

We had a lot of time on our hands, so what's better than laying a blanket under a shady mango tree and having a "picnic"?!?!

What a fun time! We had chips, drinks and read several stories!

The kiddo's picnic :)

The 3 J's...look out they can be quite a handful together :)

All the bigger kiddo's (the baby was asleep)

I seriously love little kids!
I love all the hugs and "Can I sit on your lap?" "Read me a story, please?"
And they can be even more random than that ... B asked me: "Can I smell your earrings?"
What is so important about smelling earrings?!?! I don't know :)

What a fun, fun time!  I love babysitting such cuties :)

Simple things

It's dry, dry, dry season here in Brazil! The rains have stopped and all we have left is withering grass and dust!   Lots of dust.
It's definitely not my favorite time of the year, but I am still thankful that there are still flowers :)

The prince and I went on a walk the other day and I was delighted to see this beautiful bougainvillea! Lovely, isn't it?!?!

I love taking the prince for walks. It's wonderful to see the world through his eyes! He's so excited about littlest things! A flower or an insect brings a delighted squeal! It's amazing...oh to have such a delight for simple things!!!

Have a wonderful day!
