simple pleasures............

i really enjoy summer. today the cutest thing happened, that reminded me of a few of my lazy summer days. my two daughters were playing with the next door neighbors in the front yard with the water hose. they were running through the sprinklers laughing and having fun. their laughter made me think back to a time when we would play in the sprinklers with our friends. at about 1:00 the wanted to have lunch and they had hot dogs with chips. they also had kool-aide to drink. it was so fun serving them and listening to their giggling .

i enjoy summers because it allows me to be the mom i want to be all year long, but don't have the opportunity to be. i am thankful that God provides me with these simple pleasures every once in a while. what a joy it was to watch my daughters enjoy, somthing that their mother had done such a short time ago. it tickled me....
