Sunshine had a sad day at school today. Her very best friend wouldn't let her slide down the slide unless she paid. So Sunshine said, "I'm not gonna be your friend anymore because I don't have any real money and I want to slide down the slide." Her very best friend told her to go away.
Sunshine turned around, heartbroken.
I saw it all and it broke my heart too! Kids will be kids, and I'm sure Sunshine will say (or already has) something similar, but it still breaks a mom's heart to see her child's heart break.
She was sad for a good little while. On the way home, she said, "She says mean things." I said, "Sweetheart, you know she loves you." She said, "I love her, too." The arrow pierced my heart a little further.
We came home and enjoyed cupcakes and ice cream for lunch! We painted flower pots and got our hands really messy. She perked up!
Thanking God for this little munchkin! And for all of my munchkins!

I'm a 40 year old stay-at-home mom with an awesome husband and our 4 children, ages 10,8, 7, and 6. My goal with this blog is to document our life as a family while at the same time reminding myself with each blogpost to see God's hand at work in our daily lives. God has blessed our family beyond measure and I have a bad habit of forgetting that, especially as I'm scraping dried toothpaste off my sink, the floor, my tweezers, and the handle of my brush while at he same time hearing my children yelling in the background, "Mommy, come wipe me!" , and "Mom, have you seen my other soccer cleat?!" and "Mom, he took my blankey and put it in the trash!" (you get the picture). So join us, if you dare, "where the green grass grows" as I attempt to document our life as a family and count our blessings...one day at a time.
A sweet gentle soul with a love for Jesus that is genuine and real. Her sweet gentle nature is tempered by a competitive spirit that never ceases to amaze me! Always aims to please and always does her very best. She loves Jesus, history, the United States, soccer, and Georgia football!
A naturally obedient, well-mannered, eager-to-please, little man. He loves Georgia football, spending time with his daddy, , playing on the lake, and aggravating his three sisters! His precious grin just makes my day!
A playful, fun, happy-go-lucky little girl who is full of giggles and grins. She loves being the baby of the family but can't wait to be a big sister (it'll never happen!). Her infectious laugh, sense of humor,and easy-going nature keep me thanking God for letting me end on a good note!
