Today we took a little family picnic down to Newport Dunes...the kids rode their bikes along the trail, then we played on the playground and had a picnic.
During the picnic, a bird was hanging around us....seemed he was just waiting for a piece of bread to be tossed his way. So after one of the kids handed me a piece of crust, I tossed it to him. Then suddenly about 30 birds came out of NOWHERE and started flying over our heads and landing on the grass beside us. The kids were squealing in delight and/or fear. I was having flashes to that movie "The Birds" and cringing, fearful that huge seagull may relieve himself while flying overhead. Once the birds landed, we said to the kids, chase them! The kids were so excited to run around and shoo the birds away! Cute moment. :)
After coming home I was cleaning and listening to Faith and Sam discussing sign language. Faith asked me if I knew what she was signing. I looked up from sweeping the bathroom to see her doing the sign for Jesus.
I reply "Oh hun, that is the sign for Jesus"
Faith to Sam "How did she know that?"
Sam "Mom knows everything, she's the teacher"
Cute moment. :)
A cute moment everyday comes from Nate...who always asks at some point of the day in his little 3 year old high pitched squeal "Oh, How'd you do DDAATT??
I love the cute little moments in the day....and I need to record them and treasure them more. The kids are growing so quickly...Faith will be 7 on Tuesday....7. Where did the time go? I find I ask myself that question alot during birthday season (November thru March) But it just hits a bit more with the oldest...7. Wow.
