The kids and I went to one of those home improvement type stores today.
I took them out against my better judgment (rowdy little buggars) and thankfully it worked out okay.
Did you know that the store like that that starts with an “L” has cool car carts with TWO steering wheels? Yeah, saved my bacon.
We went because I needed an organizer thingy for my continued closet organization project, as well as humming bird feeder stuff, door stops to prop up my laptop (I LOVE the ideas I get from “Real Simple” magazine) and light bulbs.
It’s funny how replacing one or two light bulbs REALLY can add light to your life. I hadn’t had a working bulb over MY sink in our bathroom area for a couple of weeks and it was getting quite bothersome. Now I can see my self first thing in the morning all the better. Wonderful.
And then there was the itty bitty light bulb needed for the night light in the kid’s bathroom. I don’t think that one has worked since a couple of weeks after we moved.
When I switched it on I smiled a little. Now my babies can SEE when they need to go potty at night! WHEE!
It’s the little things.
Like light bulbs and non-overheating lap tops and feeding the humming birds. Oh and organizing closets. Which is actually a really BIG thing if you ask me.
Anyway, I hope there’s a little extra light in your lives today.
I have these four, so I’m good. 🙂
(the other part of the title of this post refers to the fact that I took this picture the day after Father’s Day. Oh well, at least I took it!)
What an awesome picture, Elaine! Aww, frame it for sure! And yes it is the little things for sure! I recently replaced the light bulbs in my children’s rooms nightlights too and the glow in their rooms now.. I love so much! 🙂
better late than never. and noone else knows. it turned out great.
glad you got a little light over there. lol
This photo is so sweet isn’t giving me a toothache.
Your kids have gotten so big. The boys look like little men. So adorable.
er… i meant IT’S (sorry. it’s late and I really should be in bed and NOT commenting on blogs…)
Your family is so sweet. Love your babes.

I love that photo and you are super brave for taking all 3 to that “L” store. heeee heee
I am bad about lightbulbs and little things like that….
what a great shot…
I love the “L” store too…when we are down south we shop there….
What a great picture!!! I didn’t even manage to get one of the family on Father’s day!! By the time I realized it, they were all fast asleep (the father and the babies)
We are getting one of those L stores soon, we already have the H one and I picture it being the same but maybe not?
I am so glad you are finding joy in the little things, because it really is the little things.
And that photo is amazing, good job Elaine!
fun picture! and yes, little boys NEED to be able to see when they go potty…not that i’m sure that helps the aim? we are just learning at our house. 🙂 oh and you are much more brave than i am my friend… i don’t like to take 2 to the store. those carts do save the day though… just wish they were a little easier to push.
Great picture! We love our L store!!
Great photo! We’ve been at the L and the H store a lot recently. We use whichever one is cheaper for what we need. I could spend a lot in those stores!
Would not survive without those shopping cart cars. Our P grocery store has them too. They keep my kids busy for aisles!
Gorgeous picture of Tim and the kids! What a wonderful family you are!! Much love!!
