Thankful girl

"Thank you, sun, for lighting up the world so I can see my painting!"

"Our car goes up, thank you, mommy for shoveling!"

I wish I had a photo of the us in the pool, but I had my hands full with both kids--E's first time swimming. He was skeptical at first but soon was splashing up a storm with his big sis! Then H got mad at me because I wouldn't let her put on her boots right before this picture. Win some, lose some. #peacefulmama #nuggetunited

Overheard during bathtime play

"I don't know how to talk Spanish, so I just have one black eye."

"I'll call someone's mom because they're not being a good listener."

"Don't forget to eat this hot chocolate before you go swimming!"
