A Perfect Day

The weather is just amazing in my little corner of the world! So what does any sensible mommy of four who is babysitting three more do? Well, she takes the whole crew fishing, of course! Actually only the boys went fishing. The rest of us blew bubbles and chased them and played with water and buckets and stones. It was glorious!

Then we ate lunch. And while we were eating, a bald eagle soared over the lake we were sitting beside! Absolutely awesome!

I never want to forget these simple joys. These days when all of my kiddos are right here and we can load up and go on a picnic on a whim just because the day is too beautiful to NOT go. And when catching a tiny fish is reason enough to celebrate loudly.
