Life is Short
I've been too busy doing other fun stuff to blog much today...
Kathrynne and I made pancakes for breakfast to have ready for Jesse when he got home (he had to make an early morning run to the post office). You should have seen Kathrynne after we got done... She had flour in her hair, all over her clothes, caked on her hands, all over her face, all over the cabinets. But, we had a blast and hey, flour cleans up easy, especially when you're laughing and giggling together the whole time! Then we cleaned the house and made lunch to take to church tomorrow and fixed some iced tea and made homemade applesauce for Jesse.
It was such a nice day that we decided to clean the porch (Don't ask me how long it had been since I did that -- too long!) and once it got all cleaned up, I decided that it really needed some flowers. So we headed to the nursery and found some flowers to plant in a pot. We had to stop at the park on the way home because the tulips are in bloom and we had to get pictures with the tulips. (I'll post the pictures later and hopefully be able to change my very outdated user picture as well, since it was taken last year in the tulips and Kathrynne has grown quite a bit since then!)
And now, my little darling princess is sleeping and I'm off to plant flowers, finish cleaning up the kitchen, write a few notes, and get a package ready to send to Taiwan (guess to who?!), and probably curl up with a good book (I've got a stack of those to read!) and a glass of iced tea (it's been in the upper 80's and higher the last few days. I thought we just started Spring? What's with that?!).
Hope you are having a lovely day! Don't forget to stop and smell the roses, kiss your children, smile at your husband, and spread God's love to all those around you. Life is short.

Yesterday the whole family piled into the mini-van, and we went to a thrift store, Wal-Mart, Sonic, a dollar store, then CVS. Busy day. :-)
Thank you for the reminder, Crystal!! Sounds like you had a lovely day...we did lots of hard work outside but it was so good to get out there and enjoy this summer weather even though it's barely spring. :) Blessings!

Thanks for that reminder. It's easy to get caught up in what we're doing and forget to enjoy life, and spread love to others.
It sounds like you're having a happy day:)
It sounds like you had fun! Wow! It's warm there. It snowed here in MT yesterday early morning, although it didn't stay but for a few minutes, it was cold!
looking forward to the updated photo :)
what a pretty tulip photo! It sounds sooo warm there! We have lots of snow here. =/
This was a lovely post. :)
It was 85 here today and the humidity was probably somewhere around 70% or something. It's only the middle of APRIL! Oh well. It's nice outside. With the AC off I'm finding its more enjoyable to be OUT than IN.
We like our iced tea too. ;) Sweet of course, southerners that we be. Northerners don't know how to make tea!! Reminds me of the quote; don't marry a southern boy till you know how to make tea like his mama.
I LOVE, LOVE tulips. I would be thrilled to grow a garden full. -- That's a beautiful picture you posted.
