The Little Things Thursdays: #36

Welcome to The Little Things Thursday!!

If you are new to our link-up, we like to take a minute to look back on the little things that brightened our week. So often we get busy and forget all of the things that we enjoy as we go through our daily lives. This is an opportunity to stop, remember, and enjoy those things! Nothing is too small...in fact, the smaller the better! That's the whole point! If you have a blog, link-up below. If you don't blog, I'd love for you to participate by leaving a comment. Ready?

This is a BIG edition of The Little Things Thursday. Since I missed last week, I'm doubling up on this week. Enjoy getting a peek into our life!

1. Walking in Daddy's Shoes

It's a little blurry, but she wouldn't hold still long enough to take the photo. Ellie loves any shoes that she can find. This particular day, she found her Daddy's shoes. She's actually become pretty good at walking around in shoes that are far too big for her!

2. Sliding at Pa and Ma's House

Okay, first look at how Caleb (left) and Elijah (right) look as they come down the slide.

Now look at how Ellie (left) and Abby (right) look as they come down the slide. LOL!

3. Door Decorations

There were a few days when I would walk past our coat closet and see something strange hanging on the door knob. A lunchbox? I have no idea why the kids hung it there. I would take it down, put it back in the play area, and it would suddenly reappear back on the door knob. They never hung anything else there. Always the same lunch box. Then one day it stopped, and I still don't know who kept hanging it up. What is going on inside their heads?!

4. Corndogs

After Bible study last week, Sonic was having half-price burgers. I took the kids there to meet my friend and her daughter...and got them corndogs. Hey, I may not have saved as much, but they thought it was fun! (and Abby ate her corndog, so it was a success!)

5. Consignment Prep

This is pretty much what my house looks like right now. It's a month until our mothers of multiples consignment sale, and I'm prepping for it like crazy! Not only do I have to have all of our outgrown clothes priced, but I have to go through bigger sizes and figure out what we need for the next six months. The month before a consignment sale always gets a bit stressful for me since there is so much that needs to be sorted, organized, priced, and planned before hand. It's hours and hours of work, but we save a lot of money doing it this way. 

6. Princess Abby and Princess Ellie

We still get confused sometimes on which way is up when it comes to the tiara....

7. Quad Cuddles

Remember this adorable photo by Abundant Moments Photography? Aw, it's one of our favorites! She sent me a message this week that she submitted it in a photo contest! Would you help us support her by giving it a quick vote? You can only vote once, so this will be the only time I ask, but we would love for her to win since this was not an easy photo to take. Did I mention that right before she was able to take this, Elijah lifted a leg and peed on her? Thanks for voting HERE!

8. CSA: Weeks 11 and 12

Two weeks worth of CSA bags in this week's Little Thing Thursday since I missed the post last week.

Week 11: Sean's coworker gave us her bag since she was out of town! Two melons, six bell peppers, two dozen eggs, two loaves of Farm to Market bread, twelve ears of corn, two packages of blackberries, two pints of tiny tomatoes, six big tomatoes, two live basil plants, six red onions, two jars of preserves. There was so much that we are still eating on it. Delicious!

Week 12: 1 bottle of Boys Grow Barbecue Sauce, eight peaches, two pounds of organic ground beef, seven beets, one loaf of sourdough Farm to Market bread, two pounds of green beans, two tomatoes, one package of blackberries, one loaf of blueberry cinnamon bread.

Now it's your turn! What Little Things brightened up your week? Link up your post below (or leave a comment if you aren't a blogger) and make sure you come back next week to play again!
