kisses bring the joy, my friends

yesterday was a good day.

the boys and i drew on the cement walkway.

they practiced writing letters.

they can do a very good

"P" "D" and "B"

their other letters struggle...but i'm impressed none-the-less

*smile*

then we used a gift "tannie Leah" gave us and we drew on all the windows of my house.

leah, they were in their GLORY! thank you!!!

what a great gift for them! *HUGE GRIN!*

we had a little dance party in the afternoon.

i put on some christmas tunes and started singing to them.

they all started laughing (not sure if i sounded that bad or was that funny).

*grin*

i got them to dance with me too.

we pranced around the room singing and dancing and laughing.

it was delightful and wondrous in all the ways

the Christmas season should be...

then we went back outside. it was one of the few sunny days this week. the rain has been

mighty. i LOVE our rain.

rain here is lovely and cools it down.

i love the rain at home too.

in fact, one night this week (i think tuesday,) i even went outside

for a midnight stroll and there might even have been

midnight moon filled rain soaked dancing too.

just maybe.

some more photos from yesterday...

 

can i tell you how joyful their little kisses are. they boys are starting to become

so affectionate. they have always loved sitting in my lap or hugging me.

literally fighting over who gets which leg for movie times.

but lately, they have begun to give me kisses when they are proud of themselves.

they will run up and grab my face and lightly kiss my cheeks.

they love it.

i love it.

everyone loves it.

i think little boy kisses could heal the world.

certainly they bring more joy to this heart.
