{simple} things

Our weekend was simple but so enjoyable {a few of the simple things that we enjoyed}
A family movie night watching the A-Team {the kids asked question after question, kind of hard to watch a movie that way}
A game of flag football with the girls {lots of tackling, crying & laughing}
Two bike rides up to the school with the girls {the fresh air & exercise was so refreshing. the most memorable moment was seeing Ash chase a screaming Ryan across the playground trying to plant a kiss on him and then having Ryan turn around and chase a screaming Ash because he said he was going to wipe snot on her face}.
Working on the valentines with the boys {it was our first time making homemade valentines...and I didn't even come up with the idea I stole it from Amanda}
Helping Luke decorate his valentine box for school {valentine's is a challenging holiday for me...they don't make a lot of boy things, everything is pink and covered in hearts}
Taking care of my parents dog Daisy while they are on vacation {we can't figure out if Ruby likes having the company or is a little jealous. Daisy is 14 so the boys say she is Ruby's grandma}
Doing very little housework {but lots of reading time for me}
Yelling at Ryan to get his fingers out of his mouth {this is a new habit and it's disgusting, he is constantly sucking on his fingers or licking his hands}
Clipping coupons while Heath watched the super bowl and the kids wrestled and played {then we all enjoyed the half time show together}
Luke reading a book on his own and seeing how proud he was {we borrowed a Dick and Jane book from the girls and now Luke wants more of them}
Hearing the boys work together to make a surprise breakfast for Heath and I {we came downstairs to a glass of milk, toast with grape jelly for Heath, strawberry for me and a cookie (no worries that's not a typical breakfast food for us) and an episode of According to Jim on the tv for us to watch.}
Cody winning the whole video game of Call of Duty Black Ops {sadly we have plenty more for him to work on beating}
Going to church together {it was a very peaceful morning getting out of the house with no complaining}
What {simple} things did you enjoy?

  2. I love your list of simple things. It's good to write those out sometimes because they can easily go unnoticed and they are often times the biggest blessings.
