5

5 reasons why I love my Elizabeth

1. She is so easy. She can be occupied for hours and is always willing to help

2. She is so happy for things " oh mom! You made my bed! Thank you thank you."

3. She is a woman with a plan. The first thing she says everyday is "mom what are we doing today?"

4. The way she loves girly things like shopping and nail polish and barbies.

5. The way she loves everyone. Without hesitation

Can you believe she turned 5 today? I submit it is impossible.

The cake was delicious. And I finally made a strawberry buttercream that didn't look like it was suffering a painful death.

Oh what do you do

When your kids are gone for a week?

You go for wings without worrying about finding a sitter. And stay out as late as you want.

You go with your husband to rent a movie and get to watch a romantic comedy.

You paint bedrooms. And dressers.

You spend 7 hours quilting in a day without consequence.

You plant trees and garden/flower beds.

You don't put anything away for 3 days (partially because of the painting).


And it is only wed...

I still have 10 things on my to do list for the week. But I have checked off 6.
