What a great weekend. We were supposed to go to Tucson, but we moved our dates due to some scheduling conflicts. It turned out to be a lovely weekend. We took a few bike rides which were so fun for us since we ended up at …..LUCI’s. This is always a welcomed destination due to the overpriced macaroons.
On Monday, we visited Mama and she was overflowing with cars for Tot!
It was so fun to visit Mama and just enjoy her company. Tot misses seeing her! Tatum wore her new shoes she bought at Hobby Lobby with her allowance. Best $7 ever spent.
Later that day, Tatum was playing outside and she tried to retrieve her ball which had fallen in the pool. Guess what happened next? Yep, she fell right in the 50 degree water. Well, it worked out because I forgot she had a swimming lesson that day, so we felt good about her missing since she got her “swim” in. I told her that we would laugh about it later. Later we did. At dinner!
Now, I must mention Tatum’s assignment from school. She had to write a “I have a dream” speech. This came from her head and heart. Actually, she had a completely different dream and then at the last minute, she wrote this:
Her dream. That is my dream, and the fact that she wrote this just melts me all over. She dreams for “mommies to stop killing their babies and for there to be more adoptions all over the world. This means that more more children will have loving mommies and daddies.”
What a world it would be.
After dinner, I read Martin’s Big Words to Daddy and Tot. They enjoyed a Black and White cookie to celebrate him.
I always tear up when I read this book.
We have so much to be grateful for in this country. Now, if only people would love on each other more.
Thank you, Martin Luther King Jr. for your bravery, courage and teaching of LOVE over hate.
Thank you, Hays, for a great weekend. xoxo
