Snap Shots

My camera and my hard drive have been out of commission, so for the past several days I've been taking snapshots with my heart:

CLICK A leprechaun treasure hunt with Shamrocks leading to the final clue on Caleb! The hunt ended with a pile of gold and a bucket of GREEN army men!

CLICK Green oatmeal

CLICK Matthew helping Caleb with the Cougar Fight Song

CLICK My Magnet board covered with all our NCAA brackets- Even Mitchell's which is covered in scribbles. (I might add that I'm currently in the lead!)

CLICK Mitchell singing the words to I Am a Child of God in his sleep.

CLICK All 5 of my boys with brand new fuzzy haircuts.

CLICK Caleb smiling at me and then REACHING out to me with one arm on PURPOSE!

CLICK The birds came back!

CLICK Two afternoons at the park with all of my little boys!

CLICK A late night snuggle with my 10 year old. We started by watching the basketball tournament, and ended with a heart to heart about school and friends. tender.

CLICK An spontaneous lunch date with my husband.

CLICK Watching Josh and Matthew set up a pirate treasure hunt for Mitchell. Mitchell was in full pirate character as the big boys delighted in watching him hunt for the treasure of dum dum suckers they hid for him.

CLICK The record score in a single move in QUIRKLE (by yours truly...24 points)

CLICK Josh and Matthew looking out for each other at recess. I'm so proud.

CLICK My boys snuggling with me for story time even after I spent the afternoon nagging. I'm so lucky.

The good thing about these pictures... I don't even need a memory card. They are stored in a safe place in my heart forever.

My favorite: Matthew helping Caleb with the Cougar Fight Song -- cute!

Congrats on your bracket status and your quirkle victory. I don't even know what Quirkle is, but you've got me curious!
