A few pics from today

eve reading

Eve picked up a book and snuggled in with Snoopy Dog to read for awhile. She's so sweet. I posted Lex's comment on the Quotes page.

birthday party

They were so sweet this morning! They had a birthday party for Eve's doggie. They brought all this stuff up, sang to doggie, played music, etc. It was soooo sweet!

raking

Let the raking begin! Lex was sad we couldn't get all the raking done today, but I promised him we would have a good 6-8 more weeks of raking! He thinks that's a good thing :)

Mommy Hero

Possibly the sweetest thing I’ve heard in a long time is Eve calling me a hero. Why, I don’t know, she just does. It started a few days ago. At lunch one day she said she wanted to make me a nameplate with a string to go around my neck and it says Hero on it. We were just sitting there eating lunch. Now she says it several times a day. Always kind of randomly. “Mommy, you’re a hero.” She also tells me I’m her best friend and reminds me that “friends are treasures you hold on to forever,” a quote from a book she has. So sweet! Tonight we had dinner at Panera Bread after a great time at the playground and a practice 5K for me. While eating dinner she told me she loves my cooking, and that I have a good green thumb, and that I’m a hero. Very random, but I’ll take it!
