Kids


Funny story: Let me start by saying that about a week ago, I found a red Power Ranger that had no arms. I have been looking for those arms daily as I clean up James and Lilly's mess and put toys back in the toy box, books back on the shelf, etc.


On another note, I try to take a long, hot, quiet bubble bath a few times a week for relaxation. What usually happens is after the kids are in the bed, I make my way into the bath and stay for about 30 mins. Last night while I was filling up the tub and waiting to turn on the jacuzzi, I noticed something strange about the jets coming from the tub. After further investigation, it turns out that 2 of the jets have something lodged into them. I took my finger and started digging in there and what comes out? A red Power Ranger arm! Jet # 2....same story! I started laughing to myself at what I had just discovered!


As I took my bath, I thought about our children and all of the things that make them so special. The joys that I get from watching them play, the happiness that overcomes me when I hear their sweet little voices, and the smile that comes to my face everytime I think of them. They are each special and precious is their own, unique way. To top it off, the things that they do........they keep me on my feet and keep me sharp. I wouldn't trade them for a million dollars!


One last thing, Lilly was the guilty party in this one. I know you all were thinking it was James!!! She is actually the sneaky one!
