I haven't had a chance to come around and visit any of you for the past few days but I will be doing that in the morning, with my cup of coffee :)
Here's some snaps from our day..........
:::: Early morning grocery shopping with the kids
:::: this little boy is so heartbroken. It's been a tough day for him.
I let the kids decide the pace, I let them decide how they wanted to do this. They picked the area, they picked how the fish would be buried. We ended up using a Jello box with some cotton balls.
They then decided that they each wanted to find a big rock to use as a grave marker and they wanted to write something on it too.
:::: Jasmine writing hers
:::: Jasmine's rock
:::: Nic writing his
:::: Nic's stone, it says "RIP Derp....Swim in Peace". That made me choke up.
:::: Picking flowers from the front yard and I almost grabbed this guy, he was as yellow as the flower. Eeewwww
:::: Little Derp's resting place.
:::: cookie jar was replenished
:::: for dinner, since the kids have been upset today, I decided to try and cheer them up with some fun stuff. This was their dinner....some Tuna Sea Serpents :)
What a fun and compassionate momma! Way to go! I'm convinced our children need us for things like this!
ReplyDeleteThis really sounds an amazing way to settle down in your dream home.
ReplyDeleteJasmine and Nic are so blessed to have a wonderful mother. You make life fun, you show love and compassion and you make fantastic things to eat.
ReplyDeleteI love their little headstones for Derp.

The grave site came out really nice.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I have been waking up super early in the morning, and I have been spending the quiet time reading your blog from its beginning. I have been enjoying it so much. I find it so easy to relate to you. I think it is your writing style, just like we are sitting together having a conversation. I am glad you are still writing. I think I look forward to your posts the most!
