Small Joys of the Week 3

Now that I've started to do this, I'm noticing the little things that happen during the week more.  I love that.  I hope when I'm 98 I remember some of the little things about my life that I really enjoyed.  Honestly, while the big stories are fun, it's the little things that make up so much more of life.

1) Air conditioning - we're running in the high 90's - low 100's this week.  My mom's car doesn't have air conditioning.  I really think that I could put cookies on a baking sheet and 30 minutes later they'd be ready. 

2) Flowers for no reason

3) Lunch dates for Zoe and daddy on Fridays. 

4) "I love you because:" frames.  I saw this in Pinterest and just had to implement in our family.  It's been a HUGE hit.  We all love to have little notes and this way we can put things on there to show our love and appreciation.  Zoe wrote one for N last night that was absolutely dear.

5) Hearing Zoe and daddy on the couch reading the bedtime story and hearing Zoe randomly say, "I love you so much daddy." 

6) Unexpected calls from family just because they want to check in and find out how they can pray for you.

7) Church family that uses their talents together to create really awesome decor for VBS.

8) Free Starbucks and on a Friday the 13th!  Go get some from 12:00-3:00 today.
