Dear Children, Sometimes you make me crazy. And then you do something cute and redeem yourselves. Dear Fire Station, it was nice of you to host a party and let the kids climb all over in the trucks, give them balloons and fire hats, and make them hot dogs. Free dinner is always a win. Dear Hazel, you turned 6...you are growing up too fast. I will savor every last moment that you will be my little baby girl, even if it is only at home. You are such a strong and amazing spirit. Lucky girl had a great day and lots of gifts that were just what you wanted. You got the biggest slice of cake and never took a bite. Silly Hazelnut. Dear Kade, your team WON! This is the part that is kind of enjoyable, watching the games. Dear General Conference, amazing. Some of the topics brought me to tears and touched my heart so deeply. We are so lucky to have a living prophet. Dear Crazy, insane moment. Accepting a caged pet at the last minute while the neighbors were moving. Temporary is what I call it. Dear Halloween Bin, you made it out of the shed and onto the front porch. We will see if you ever make it into the house. What has happened to my holiday spirit? Dear Fair Day, there is no school because of the county fair. Perks of living in a small town. Having to get up early so the kids can be in the parade=stinks. Dear Awkward, I just remembered I forgot to tell Will! Being in Walmart, turn around to look at something, and when I turn back around my cart is gone. Uummm...What? I walk around following the sound of my phone that just received a text, I won't say for how long...find my cart abandoned. Luckily my wallet and my phone were still in it. I wasn't panicking or anything. Cause that would be awkward. Dear Caramel, Wes's caramel to be exact. With detailed instructions after an epic fail I succeeded..kind of. It could have been a little thicker, but it was so so yummy. So I say it is a Win. Well, maybe not for my thighs. Dear Weather, I feel a slight shift in temperature. The mornings and evenings felt nice and cool. And then it just up and got cold and windy! I like nice and cool better than really cold. Dear Will, it's your turn to work long hours. I appreciate all that you do to help after a long day. Dear Self, slow down, rest up and take care of yourself. Sounds good to me. Sound easy? No. It's like a hurricane hit.
