I've been holding this imaginary requirement over my head that I MUST post pics with every post. This self-induced prerequisite has prevented me from posting things I otherwise would have. So I'm relieving myself, here and now, of that requirement...
Today was a great day. It was beeauuutiful outside and I got some reprieve from Primary duties from the thoughtful brethren in the Elders Quorum. The youth made a touching video of short blips about why they appreciate their moms, and then we were all escorted to the gymnasium for brownie parfaits and poetry (:
Upon arriving home, my good husband made brunch and later some fabulous shish kabobs. I love fresh seasonal fare...nothing like skewered & grilled pineapple, pearl onions, grape tomatoes, mixed peppers, and cremini mushrooms to officially announce the arrival of spring and its accompanying longer days and warmer weather. It just feels right...
BUT the highlight of the day for me was this exchange between Kennedy & myself:
Kennedy: Mom you have to come see something...CLOSE your eyes
Me: okay ( walking with eyes mostly closed towards her...)
Kennedy: Okay, now open your eyes!
Me: Wow! Kennedy, you cleaned off the table!
Kennedy: (Grinning from ear to ear...BEAMING really) I did it without you even asking me to. I wanted to serve my family and follow Jesus' example
Me: (speechless and heart burning with mother pride and JOY!) Thank you Kennedy! I am so proud of you. Thank you for being my big helper! I love you...thanks for being such a good example!
Kennedy: and now I'm going to clean the floor because I'm almost a kindergartener!

So sweet. Lovely post Mandy. Keep em coming, pics or no pics. :)
Very cute. You are so descriptive, I was jealous of what I wasn't eating. You totally don't have to post pics every time. I feel like I don't post enough pics, but I like to talk. So there you go.
Ashley was telling me she told you about Clean eating. Did you ever buy the clean eating book. I know it's in one of them. If you didn't let me know and I will get you the recipe. It's so great!
