Special Ordinary Days!
My girl has discovered the sprinkler! She loves to run through the ice cold water and scream at the top of her lungs. I have never heard an audible scream that was that high pitched. If that is what I sounded like at 2 years of age, it is no wonder that my Dad hid in his bedroom! LOL
We have several girls that live next door and they often join us in the front yard to take their turn through the sprinkler. It has become such an attraction that at one point the other day, we had about 10 neighborhood kids running through the mud that we used to call a front yard.
Brian and I have started spending a couple of evenings a week sitting on the front porch watching the kid's soak themselves. Yes, we are aware of the water bill that is coming our way but you just can't put a price tag on the smile of our girl!
Anna Beth has also discovered the Ice Cream truck that often rides up and down our road. We have spent time eating our fudge bars on the front porch this summer. We have to send Anna Beth back through the sprinkler when she is done with her ice cream but that orange cream popcicle was worth every penny. These are the special moments that you cannot create but only tuck away in your memory and recall someday as we watch her walk across the stage to receive her diploma!
