After my FFOs (Friday Flip-Offs) Virtual Detox of sorts I thought it'd be nice to do some Sunday Smiles. It was started by Melissa over at Miel et Lait. Stop by and leave her a note. She's been a bit under the weather.
Although life occasionally needs a good old fashioned rant, I have much to be grateful for. These are the things that made me smile this week.
1. A renewed appreciation for good health.
2. Children who say the funniest random things and crack me up.
3. Watching the kids take the deep end test and pass.
4. Little Man's excitement over a caterpillar.
5. Having such a handy husband. He was able to fix both my k key and broken doorknob.
6. Beautiful pool days despite the forecasts.
7. Another prospective buyer on the horizon for our 2nd home.
8. Little Man walking Pokey home from school by choice.
9. Great sleep. Nothin like it.
10. Receiving so many beautiful bloggy awards from such talented ladies.
Sorry this is such a long time coming, but here it is...
