TGIF

This week has been full of wonderful surprises! A fun care package from my sweet brother and sis-in-law had goodies galore! The cookie next to my coffee and the cute bird necklace were both from them. And I ate all the cookies myself, hiding them from the rest of the family. Because it's my birthday and I'll eat cookies if I want to.

The daffodils the boys and I found in the forest yesterday. They were so pretty and we picked them to add to our roses. So pretty!

And in kid news, James has a funny new quirk. He makes sure people know he had given them a present and demands a "thank you". Good grief! Working on not telling other people what to say, even though I have been doing that to him for years. His response, "but Mom, a polite person would have said thank you"...can't argue with that!
