intentional living, little by little

{#100daysproject} Finding Joy in my Extraordinary Ordinary: Days 37-54

Part three!  Reaching the halfway point with the next 18 photos, from October 2-19:

I feel like I can see into the future as Sophia carefully put on makeup after watching me – so surreal | My two funny boys on their way to CCD | Stepped on Tick-Tock Croc and it made me see stars!  I’m going to miss the random toys strewn around the house someday, right? |  Convicting reflections in my devotional are hard to read, but so good for my soul | She’s been flying around the house on her scooter, singing at the top of her lungs.  It’s awesome to be four | I miss watching M’s creativity in the kitchen.  Finally convinced him to make something filling for breakfast and he created a masterpiece | TJ is J’s mini me and just thinks he’s the greatest.  I love watching them together | Leftover homemade apple pie after a wonderful afternoon with my mom and sister | Almost 32 weeks!


Red roses, hot coffee and funny cards: little pieces of a perfect birthday | “Sit me, Joe Joe!”  Looking at the latest Lego catalog together | Sweet girl has been having some fears about bedtime, so we made a temporary bed for her in our room.  Found her asleep with her Mary doll and hands clasped in prayer | Our house and neighborhood aren’t perfect, but today I’m thankful for a warm, cozy place for my boys to come home to | The look of absolute joy and excitement on his face | Mark hung my birthday signs and I couldn’t love them more | Our post school drop-off routine: a snack and a movie (today was Tinker Bell) | Waiting in the school pickup line as she anxiously searches for her brothers: “I just can’t wait to see them, mama!” | Mark and I helped J create his special “J” vest for school.  We kept glancing at each other with so much love and pride for this sweet boy.  We rarely get to have one-on-one time with just him, so it was such a special treat
