Counting Cars...

Today Sophia was quite frustrated while sitting in the car. As we were stopped at a traffic light, I could hear mutterings of a numbered nature..."six, seven, eight...errrrr!!". So it goes...

Me: "Whats wrong babe?"

Sophia: "I just not do it Mom. They just not stopping!"

Me: "What's not stopping? I don't understand!?!?"

Sophia: "The cars Mom. I have to count them and they just keep on driving! I can't count them if they moving!"

Me: **trying not to smile and giggle because she is being VERY serious LOL**

Sometimes I just sit and marvel at the inner workings of a pre-schoolers brain. As if the world is supposed to just STOP in it's tracks at their every whim. Oh, I love that girl :)

L.O.V.E

A daughter brings a special joy
That comes from deep inside,
And as she grows to womanhood
She fills your heart with pride.

The love she gives so freely
Is a rare and beautiful gift.
She brings the sunshine right indoors
And gives your heart a lift.

With every busy, happy year
She’s dearer than before,
Through every stage…through every age,
You love her more and more.

Fresh...

Brian and I got a RARE date morning this past Saturday!! My mom took the girls overnight Friday and we went into downtown Davidson for breakfast in the morning. We went to my FAVORITE old town cafe called Toast. Love it there...very quaint and historic feeling :) Anyways, they have a farmers market in the surrounding quad (right by the college and library) and I had never checked it out!! So we went and I coaxed my adoring husband into buying me these AMAZING fresh flowers. I haven't had such pretty flowers in a REALLY long time and was super excited. I had to share some pictures of them. They evoked joy in my heart for two reasons. First because the colors had an interesting way of bringing summer & fall into a happy place of acceptable co-existence. Second because my girls couldn't stop marveling at how pretty they were and commenting how they smelled so "nummy"!! Unfortunately when flowers are so "home grown" they die pretty easily. On the bright side, I was able to snap these before they began their droopy decline :)
