Thanks for bearing with me on this "I heart..." post. Rereading this thing kind of annoyed me, but it didn't annoy me enough to retype it. It's probably not a good thing when you annoy yourself, is it?

281-290

281. What a blessing to have a new small group to get together with once a week. It's so great to get to know some new people!

282. What a blessing to have Julia doing so well at school. I couldn't help but take a picture of her discipline chart for September.


283. What a blessing to get to spend some 2 on 1 time with Audrey on Thursdays. Julia's at school, Matt's off work, and our younger child gets some special attention.

284. What a blessing to have a fully stocked dress up chest for the girls to play in. Those 2 certainly don't do without in the toy department. Thanks, family!


285. What a blessing to see the girls prance around in high heels. Love it!


286. What a blessing that their makeup rarely leaves stains.

287. What a blessing to be the mother of 2 perfectly imperfect daughters!

288. What a blessing that I knew what pinworms were before I discovered them in the girls. (TMI? Sorry, but I thought I'd document it for their later mortification. Besides, I seriously am very glad that I happened to learn what pinworms were just a few months ago!)

289. What a blessing to be on vacation this week with Matt, Julia, Audrey, Jimmie Kay, Danny, Amy, Jacob, Brodye, and Eli!

290. What a blessing to arrive at the condo in time for some water play Tuesday. Wednesday is supposed to be much cooler!

Random stuff

I'm with the inlaws and the complaints have already begun... ha! I'm not blogging enough!!

Our preschool went to the Corn Maze last week. Audrey had a great time.

Julia is doing great at school. She just loves her teacher, her friends, and the whole Kindergarten experience. Here she is doing some homework.

Despite my ramblings about how wonderful my kids are, sometimes they aren't perfect.

Example: Markers and crayons on the wall.
