Making Memories

Yesterday was backwards day!

Why?

I'm not sure, other than my little calender from MOPS said it was. It was the first day in a quite a while that we didn't have anywhere to go or errands to run so, I thought it sounded like a great idea and we went with it. I couldn't bring myself to do dinner for breakfast, so we started after breakfast! ;o)

We began by taking baths (which is an evening routine). And to make it even more backwards they took them in my garden tub with bubbles! They really enjoyed this and I even got my bed made while they played in the tub!

Next was getting dressed! Yes we (and by we I mean Little Pumpkin and Little Lion) wore our clothes backwards! Honestly, I don't think Little Pumpkin even noticed!And she wasn't very happy to be taking a picture instead of getting into her high chair which I moved to take the picture! Such a food fanatic!

We did eat breakfast- waffles, bacon, and eggs - for dinner. But that was the end of our backwards -day. Something small, but I pray that it makes a memory that last.

You know one of those memories that seems so real, like it was yesterday. Something that you did everyday, when in reality you only did it once or twice! ;o) I know my kids are still young, but I want to begin now making those memories for them. The ones they will want to remember and enjoy looking back on, even as teenagers, and think WOW she was a fun mom.

Another memory maker from yesterday:

We are in the process of helping my parents (Lolly and Pop) pack up for their move (not far just a few miles from where they live now). While outside trying to work the combination lock on the gate, I hear this:

"I wish with all my might, that we'll have ice cream tonight" and a then big blow. Little Lion had found a dandelion.

How cute was that!?! How could I not let that come true? So after loading up to go home, I surprised him with a trip to Shakes, a frozen custard place that I had a coupon for! (come on I have to be frugal) After realizing where we were, I asked him what did you wish for today? He says with a smile "ice cream". Then with hands up in the air "my dreams come true"!

I pray he never stops dreaming and that they all come true!
