121. Nails, drills, chainsaws, hammers, post hole diggers, tampers, and muscle.
122. Horseshoes and little hands to hold them.
123. Equipment to climb on and use ... and the love for machinery that I hope Mason always has.
124. Water troughs ... and the silly cows that use them.
132. Using every last second of daylight. Wasting little time & making memories as the sun closed down our beautiful weekend.
...............................
It was a week {and weekend} filled with goodness.
... and I had to snap the grouchiness from the depths of my soul as I found myself full of grumpiness last night and this morning.
Grumpiness because it felt as though the goodness and beauty of the weekend was coming to end.
Grumpiness because my time {at home} was over.
... but on my way to school this morning, I made myself mentally remember the moments I didn't capture with my camera and made a list with my boys as the sun lit up the morning sky.
134. Freezers full of meat to choose from to cook Sunday dinner.
135. A clean garage & organized shelves ... and even a place to park.
136. Hand-made magnets.
137. "I have a present for you mom" ... over and over again... and the gifts of ginormous hugs!
138. Mack's ever-changing vocabulary.
139. Singing Happy Birthday. Again and again.
140. Cousins.
141. Cowboy Small & a 5 year old who can read it {almost} perfectly!
142. Forgiveness.
143. Sunshine ... and the amazing amount of energy that comes just from being warm.
144. A compass on the mirror in the car ... who would have guessed it could keep one so focused for such a long amount of time.
145. Night that seemed like day. I {love} full moons & the light they give.
.....................................
Hoping in, praying for & anticipating more of God's goodness in the week and weekend to come.
