Patches of Light

It is P week...

There was pomegranates, pickles, pierogies, pizza, peas, peanut butter, and pancakes.

Here she is
Painting Pooh

  and Making Play-doh

 

 in pajamas (For Pajama Day)

There was even time for...
Paperdolls, paper airplanes, pet rocks

And Modern Day Princesses (from Big sisters)

 The pandemonium of Popping Corn....

pure happiness.

And
the magic
Patches of light we glimpse for an instant before it moves on and is gone.

It is amazing what the light illuminates.  It is a paragon.  Flawless to a momma.

Just for a second, time stands still.

  "For with You is the fountain of life;
         In Your light we see light."  Psalm 36:9

 

Thankful for The Light.

My Favorite Things...

 Inspired by Robin at Pensieve...

Sung to the tune of My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music...

(I got carried away and added two extra verses)
If you know me, personally, you know these really are my favorite things :)

My Favorite Things...

♪ Soft fuzzy socks and a hot cup of tea
children decorating the Christmas tree
Fridays with friends and the laughter it brings
These are a few of my favorite things.♫

♪ Books for a deal at 25 cents
Blankets and sheets to build forts and tents
A day of yard sales and the treasures it brings
These are a few of my favorite things.♫

 
♪ Drinking Coke icees and time at the beach
Homemade ice-cream, blackberry and peach
Tic tacs and chocolate and birds in the Spring,
These are a few of my favorite things!♫

♪ The scent of a baby and warm skin hugs
Flying the girls on my feet on the rug
Blessed to stay home with kids under my wings
These are a few of my favorite things!♫

♪ Snuggling close for our school read a louds
On our backs looking up at the clouds
Salvation Army and the bells that they ring
These are a few of my favorite things!♫

♪ When I stumble, when there’s bad news
When I'm feeling sad.
I simply remember all of God’s gifts
And then I don’t feel so bad. ♫

Okay,  now it is your turn!  You have at least one verse in you :)
