I have been thinking of how it seems to be the simplest things in life that bring us joy. For example the girls worked together the other night to surprise us by putting flowers in Jane's hair, because of the reaction they got they have done it over and over. Then last night at the store my girls found toy cameras, You can't really see through them and the only thing they do is say 3 or 4 things when you push the button, but they think it is the greatest. They worked together the other night to surprise us by putting flowers in Jane's hair, because of the reaction they got they have done it over and over. They were just given big beds (twin size with frames) Shara had a big one but it was just on the floor, now Jane is excited for nap time and they both like going to bed. Who would have thought that would make such a difference.
The things I have found to be simple joys lately are:
-A box of cereal that I can eat anytime and still enjoy without being sick
-breakfast rolls that are my morning snack, I love not having to wonder what I can eat.
-20 more min of sleep in the morning when my girls sleep a little longer
-finding two socks with no holes that match (i just bought new ones last night)
-a hug from Mike
-using the restroom without someone coming in(rare when you have young kids)
Shara's simple joys are:
-the paper airplane her daddy helped her make, she can fly it for hours
-working on homework for school, she loves learning, i hope that lasts
-having her picture taken for any reason
-having me read a book to her in an accent
-being moms helper for anything
-opening the jewelery when is arrives to see what everything looks like
Jane loves:
-a sucker, preferably 2. It stops most crying and entertains her for a long time
-knowing her sister has to take a nap too
-doing things by herself like taking off her coat or putting on her shoes and socks
-snuggling, she loves to hold you, whither watching a movie or just hanging out
-hearing the garage and going to meet daddy as he comes in the door
-painting her toes
what I perceive as simple joys for Mike are:
-a day going by with no major problems at work, sometimes rare
-working out in the morning
-being greeted at the door by his girls with a hug
-watching the office
-playing Madden(PlayStation)with Dave uninterrupted
-the beach in San Clemente
What are your simple joys?
