Just a Few Little Things

Carter's friend Logan came and played at our house a little while ago, and we decided to make pancakes for lunch. I just thought this was a cute little picture of the process, nothing like teamwork...

One of Carter's latest tricks is "the eye". He uses this to encourage everyone to close their eyes when it is time to pray. Sadly, this picture doesn't do it justice. How are you supposed to have prayer without any giggles when Carter is pulling this face at everyone?

And, the prepping of the Valentine cards. Since this is Sydney's first year of school, it is also her first year of classroom Valentines. In the past she has made some for her brothers, but taking them to school is a whole new ballgame, and boy is she excited. She has been begging for days to get to the store to buy her Valentines, which we were finally able to do yesterday. I totally enjoyed watching her yesterday as she cleaned off the table, opened her boxes and began getting everything organized. They all had to be sorted and stacked, and arranged in rows...

After they were all organized so carefully she began writing her name on each one, gotta love the tongue...

Something about this whole process, and her cute "big girl" attitude just made me smile. Amazing how these little tiny things can just make my day!
