Staying Happy

What's keeping us happy? Well, every Wednesday it is a "party" with Payton!



Lots of toys to keep us busy.
We finally had a playdate with our good friends that live across the street!





We have purchased several Pre-K workbooks from the Dollar Store and Lily really enjoys doing her "homework". (practicing her letters, shapes, etc)




Got another fun pressie in the mail. Gee Gee made Lily this beautiful princess pillowcase - and Lily adores it. Can't ya tell? Tonight after she went to bed she yelled after me "Mommy, you forgot to pway!" So, I went back up, apologized, and prayed with her. Then she said "Repeat after me..."God, Lord, Jesus"...and she proceeded to name our family members to be prayed for (plus Spot and Bella), oh, and our church. Then said "I'm all done pwaying now. Goodnight (hugged me), stay happy mommy."
And, that is what I intend to do.

Yes, you can sure see how much Lily loves her new pillowcase! It is very cute and I am sure my girlies would also be all smiles if they had a princess pillowcase. They love their princess stuff.

Such sweet prayers...isn't it wonderful to hear little ones praying? I love it!

That pillowcase is SO Lilly! I can tell she loves it. That is so cool that she reminded mommie to pray. Gotta love it!

Heather said...

Ooooh, that pillowcase is adorable!!

Nothing better than the prayers of our little ones, it's one of the best things in mommyland!

And playdates...I dread them until we are smack in the middle of them and then I wonder what would we all do without them:) Enjoy, enjoy!

I attempted to leave messages but blogger crashed on me last night. I so enjoyed the videos and had to tell you that Glenys calls cheating, cheapin'. It is too funny and she gets really mad if she thinks you are cheapin'.
