Every day is full of moments – little snapshots of life.
Most are mundane, a few are unique, and some are blog worthy.
Here are a few of my most blog worthy moments recently -
1. A Monster Moment - This is the summer that Angel Girl is going to learn to bake independently. She just needs the practice doing the same thing several times to gain confidence – and my trust. We started with bread.
She made her second batch last week but she was in a hurry. I thought she had finished making out the buns very quickly and she hadn’t used very many baking sheets. When I checked them before they were baked I could see why – they were huge! Some of the buns measured 5 inches across.
Monster buns! Yes, her brothers teased her, and yes they loved them! Can’t wait for batch number 3!
2. Proud Momma Moment: We went to a friend’s house this week to pick pie cherries. She has a little 3 year old with Down’s syndrome. As we were finishing up I heard someone singing our special swinging song and went to investigate.
There was Matt under the tree with the swing in it. He had, of his accord, gently put their girl in the swing and was pushing her – singing “Swing, swing way up high, swing so high you touch the sky…”
Their little girl was just grinning from ear to ear.
I didn’t realize he even remembered the song.
3. Not So Proud Parenting Moment: At my niece’s wedding, she had the youngest cousins, including my Buddy, act as gift pages. Just before the wedding started they were escorted in and sat with my youngest sister and her husband in the front row. Jan and I were directly behind them.
Buddy had just been seated for a few moments when he suddenly jumped up and dashed back down the center aisle of the church. I was still processing the fact that he ran out of the church when he came running back in – holding a cold bottle of water.
He ran right down the aisle, just as the groom was escorting my parents down. He managed to dodge around them just as the photographer snapped their picture.
Then he settled back in his seat, opened his water and prepared to enjoy the show! I was very embarrassed until I realized he was sitting with my youngest sister – everyone would just think he was hers! 
4. Old Lady Moment: I wore a new (to me) pair of shoes to that same wedding. By the time we got to the reception I had some very nice blisters forming. Since I knew I would be standing and cutting cake for some time – I had my darling husband take my dress shoes to the van and bring in my tennis shoes.
Yes, I put my tennis shoes on for the rest of the evening. If any one noticed – they were too polite to say anything!
I’m sure they were all jealous of my comfort!
How about you? What were your memorable moments this week?
Care to share them?
Sound wonderful – but I’m not a tree house person (I’m scared of heights). When I need time to decompress I walk out to the pond and lay on the dock.
