"Wishes"

Hailey has had an obsession with dandelions lately. When we go for walks or bike rides, she has to stop and pick them all. She calls them "Wishes" for the obvious reason that you make a wish when you blow them! She was thrilled to find that our neighbor had a TON of them and quickly got to work picking them.

She stopped for a minute, looked around, and then said "How am I going to pick All of the Wishes?"
It got me thinking about how we are all overwhelmed at times, even kids. And what may seem silly to me, to her, it was a big overwhelming task. I struggle with this every day. In the end I know it isn't gonna matter if my house was perfectly clean all the time, or my yard beautifully manicured. All the things that I stress about daily, really DON'T matter! All that matters is that I take time to PLAY with my kids, and give my TIME to my family and friends. I love my family so much, and I don't want them to ever think that I don't have time for them. Hailey did a good job of reminding to do that today.

She did not like how it made her hands dirty!

She's done her job, now it's home for lunch! (She stuffed all of her "wishes" in the seat of her scooter.)

I just LOVE those gorgeous eyelashes
