Sprinkles and Pics

I don't know about you, but I so enjoy the little things in life. I see the little joys in life as being the sprinkles atop the cupcake; something you don't need for survival, but something that brings a little smile to your face. Let me share some of my sprinkles with you:

At first I was a little upset that someone had taped something to the fireplace, as once something is burned onto "the black," it's a booger to get it off...if it will come off, that is. So, here I walk into the living room and someone has taped a sign to "the black." I started to get upset, thinking about how much time it took to scrape goo off "the black," the last time someone did this....but then I took a closer look and saw that a little someone had written a note on said sign. It read, "For you Mom! Love DS." Ahh, how sweet! He'd made me a fire before he'd left for school. He'd thought of me and did something to show his love; built me a blazing fire to keep my morning warm. Such a fine young man he is--he'll make a fine husband some day (but I do have in ink and in blood a paper a sworn statement saying that he'll take care of his dear old mother in her less than golden years!).









Next is a picture of little Squirt. She was just so stinkin' cute in her little jammies (which kept riding her behind and made her all the more adorable), I had to take a picture.

Then there's the pictures that my children drew me (just two of many, I might add). I nearly died laughing when dd2 drew me the below pictures of myself and someone...I'm not quite sure who's to the right, but the expression on their face is a hoot! (That's right, you don't mess with Momma Bear unless you wanna get the big guns all fired up!):











And then there's the picture brought on by the inspiration that comes while spending time with Dad (isn't the blood so incredibly realistic?):































And then there's me in my much beloved straw cowgirl hat. Though dh did nothing but laugh at my perfect gardening hat, he did say, "It's you--all the way. It's just "you." And it is. Come summer, I'm putting on my cutoff jeans, digging out my favorite tank top, strapping on my yard boots, slipping on my gloves and wearing my perfectly frayed straw cowgirl hat!

YEE HAW!!

(And yes, my lawn mower has horse power!)
