For Your Information: I would NOT be seen wearing this under normal circumstances.
These were NOT normal circumstances.
Sure, it was our church Valentine Banquet, but still, I ain't never seen it done that-a-way before!
You see, the men were given a brown paper bag filled with crafty goodies they had to use to help create their wife the best hat since it was going to be voted on....well, my hubby, who can follow sewing instructions better than I and TONS more (but I won't bore you!) has trouble making something from something that is not supposed to make that particular something! Get it?
But HOLD ON, after little debate, my man took 1st place with his creativity (and soundness of structural beauty...I could "jog" without mine falling off) I was proud. Looking back, I think I look plain stupid. In the moment - proud.
Together, we make a great team.
Since we had already had a couple nights out the week before V-Day, the Prince and I decided to have some family togetherness. Shawn suggested we go out to eat and then go to Escapades (indoor play-place). So, we tidied up the house and got dressed in a hurry! Let the fun begin, eh?
Here is what went down....
I felt a thrill when I taught Morgan how to actually use the crayon to color the page...
...but here is what she still ended up doing...
....match-y, match-y Mommy & Morgan
Daddy's knees were shot after the tunnel crawling, but the boys shrieks of laughter was worth it...
How well I still remember coming home from a long school day only to find a favorite yummy snack of peeled, diced, brown sugar covered apples - pure sweetness! My mother knew what it meant to "spoil" (a.k.a.
take time with) her daughter! This treat and then a nice chat was a pleasant tradition around our house.
Still, after being gone from home for 6 years, she still makes sure I have my sugary fix. On Tuesdays, after I come to pick up the kids when my music lessons have been taught, she has a special treat for me to take home. No, it is not like the old times where I sit down with her and rehash every minute detail of my day. But after I gather up my kiddos, drive the 6-minute stretch back home, enter my house and go sit down at my table to eat my yummy snack, I feel connected...
in my heart. Today. Tomorrow. It's called Togetherness.
Just like a football player lovingly tucks the ball under his arm and runs with all his soul, Sarah Morgan lovingly tucks her brothers cups to her chest and takes off....why does it taste better out of somebody's cup other than your own? ....silly Sarah...
But, as you will see, for Sarah Morgan, you don't really need your favorite food/beverage to keep you happy....any toe will do! (Just ask any of her family...she LOVES to try and bite your toes!) ...silly Sarah...
Wishing you a Super-Silly Sarah Saturday!!!
