Mother's Day

   It's great to have a day that honors what moms do, but it's also a good reminder to me to be thankful for the girls I have been given.   So often I get distracted by the struggles and how to fix them.  I am truly blessed with my 4 beauties!

   We have a family tradition that we have a food art competition when we celebrate Easter with my family.  We take a variety food items and arrange them on a plate using squeeze icing as glue to make a picture.  It's all just for fun.  Chloe really got into it this year and I thought I'd share her own little creation.  The theme this year was the zoo.  Can't you see it? ;)

Three year olds are so fun to watch coloring Easter eggs!  It takes very little to make her squeal.
   Our older daughter played "minute to win it" for her birthday party last week.  One of the games involved throwing rolls of toilet paper.  Chloe had a great time retrieving all the "misses" and running them back for another try.  Who knew someone so little could carry soooo many rolls of toilet paper?  Who needs toys to have fun?
   Chloe has gotten into doing her own hair "like her big sisters."  She has learned to put rubber bands in all by herself.  What she doesn't realize is that she misses the back completely.  We had been watching America's Next Top Model the other night, so Chloe got all dressed up in her swimsuit, did her hair, and proceeded to pose for her photo shoot :)

   This would be the mad side of Chloe that still shows up often.  She's working through her life story dealing with the mad emotion now.  Unfortunately, we are the ones who get the brunt of her anger.  Thankfully this too shall pass as healing comes.  Please keep praying.
