asleep...

This morning Daniel & Hannah were the first ones up. I was still in bed and I hadn't planned on getting up today, but I noticed when I opened my eyes that the new Spongebob coloring book with 1000 stickers was missing off my bedroom floor. I have some gifts to pass out to the kids, because I just got home from a trip (Steph's wedding). So, I managed to make it upstairs with the remaining gifts and discovered Daniel with my new..., I mean Emmeli's new coloring book. Hannah was super excited about the gifts and went to wake up Emmeli & Snow. She woke Emmeli first. Emmeli got up to take a look, but showed very little excitement and walked back to her bed. Then, trying hard to be friendly, she said, "Hannah, Next time I'd rather you wake me up when I'm not asleep."

enough is enough...

I am so thankful for my family and all that I have been blessed with. Sometimes I get so ambitious. I want to be better, do more, try harder.... and it is so easy to get locked into that mindset. I love it when I can just calm down and say everything is wonderful, just the way it is.

deep thoughts...

Have you ever heard of the Tao of Pooh? I'm not into Taoism. I don't know much about it anyway, but I love that there's a whole philosophy behind Winnie-the-Pooh. I can't wait 'til someone writes a book about the way of SpongeBob. Wouldn't it be great to have a calendar with a spongy thought to ponder for each day of the year! I don't care what anyone says, I think SpongeBob is an excellent role model...
