In celebration of the little things, the simple joys, I grabbed my camera a day or two ago and snapped photos of the scenes around my home that made me smile.A Smokey the Bear comic, a folded tablecloth (yeah, I don’t feel like washing and ironing it 3 times a day…), and a tricycle in the yard. The sun pouring in through the windows:
Dinner (Swiss Steak) in the crockpot:
The beginning stages of a dinosaur museum. I am told that these are the models. The real dinosaurs will be shipped soon:
A card and crayon on the back of the toilet. Inside it reads, “YOUR INVITID TO The T-REX’S PRTE.”
A desk full of homeschooling books and papers:
Not sure what was going on here (I heard something about dinosaurs~no surprise), but I pity the person trying to get in or out the front door:
Leif has a favorite new spot to hang out. Does this make anyone nervous: 
He loves to play with the CD player:
He loves to dance:
And he adores climbing: 
In case you have the erroneous notion that everything in my house is in mint condition, check out the side of the book case. The crib is in about the same condition due to Luke who ripped off the ‘teething bar’ and then scraped the paint of with his new teeth a few years ago:Levi’s new piano books at Grandma Great’s piano: 
I don’t wanna talk about this:
Warm, clean, folded clothes waiting to be put away:
A perfect day for bike riding:
New growth on our fruit trees:
What simple joys are delighting you today?
