The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

July 25, 2011

{i want to remember} – 7/25/11

Sometimes life gets so busy that I forget to notice and appreciate the little things.  Here are some of the things I am loving this week:

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how much the big boys love our little blow-up pool on the back deck.  They have been spending hours out there!  I love to watch them play and imagine together; my favorite so far is policemen with water guns. 

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how all of a sudden, J is everywhere!  He is discovering every inch of our living room and even pulling himself up to standing.  Time is flying with that boy.

I WANT TO REMEMBER… the awesome Craigslist deal I scored!  For months, I have been looking all over for an affordable mirror for above our fireplace.  No such luck…until last week!  I found it on Craigslist and even managed to talk her down $15. 

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how utterly delicious icecream sundaes from McDonald’s taste after a day with record high temps (with the heat index, it was 115 degrees!). 

I WANT TO REMEMBER… dance parties after dinner, big wet smooches, and giggling brothers…we are so blessed.
