"BUT MARY TREASURED UP ALL THESE THINGS AND PONDERED THEM IN HER HEART." LUKE 2:19

~ things i love with a capital P ~

PERSPECTIVE, pottery barn patio furniture displays, practically all track jackets, putting my hope in Christ alone, photography, pistachio nuts, parenting as a privilege, pairs of cute sunglasses, painful times deepening friendships, pink bubblegum ice cream (by the pint), perseverance, practical jokes, people, people i can trust, plumeria flowers, pearl earrings that were my grandma's, pantene smooth vitality conditioner, plopping clutter into the trash, pigtails all messed up after naptime on my girls, purel hand sanitizer, painting walls with color, pouring into people's lives, plush blankets, prioritizing, polished nails, pharmacies with 24hr drive-thrus, places where palm trees survive winter, packing away my 2009 "calendar", pacific northwest mountains & rivers, pie plates with fluted edges, purpose, puppies named bronson, preferring the word pacing vs. procrastinating, people who love to say i'm sorry more than they love to hear it, pocket-sized butterfingers, phone calls with special friends, piano music, patterned scarves, practicing not to presume things, planting flowers in pots, passion, penne pasta, panda bears reminding me of my love for HK & japan, pillows that are just right, praise & worship freeing people of pride & insecurities, paying for starbucks coffee with gift cards, putting on my running shoes, pomegranate mixed drinks, putting off dishes till company leaves, purses filled with lipgloss, people who can be vulnerable, parties for every occasion, politeness, plane rides to far away places, popcorn that's air-popped, paul marrying stephanie, pedicures, peaceful homes, price tags with a clearance sticker on them, pre-recorded tv watching, poverty prompting compassion, pieces of angel food cake & strawberries for breakfast, peeking in on my girls while they sleep, products from bath-n-body works, packs of trident spearmint gum, people who can laugh & be witty when life gets hard, paper plates in bulk, papa murphys garlic spinach chicken artichoke de-lite pizza, pretending my girls and i wrote 'put your arms around me' by natasha bedingfield for each other & singing/dancing to it each night after work to remind me to put grace & humor in EVERYTHING (towards myself & them) or it will feel like a really long work week, a very short life, and an inevitable amount of colorful language exposure that i couldn't possibly blame all on the playground...............

we're. crazy. about. these. songs.

Red, White, & PINK!

Here are Eden and Hallé posing before they come to wake mommy up in bed with a Carmel Frappacino, Candy, Creations, and Carnations...."True Love"
 My wild haired Hallé Claire-she makes my bed head look tame at times

Eden, the only girl I know who can change 3-5 times before breakfast! She has already morphed into a cheerleader at this point!

We already are very mushy and lovey most any chance we can get and very much appreciate all of those in our lives that we love! Soooo, Valentines Day Weekend ended up being a bunch of red dye and an attempt to create a Red, White, & Pink weekend including all we wore, ate, and gifted!

Here is our weekend in Red, White, & PINK!
The girls had to clean their rooms and wait while the love counter was set up for them. They love the anticipation of surprises as much as I do! (I think I see a peeker...)

Hallé thrilled about her new pink gaucho capri's, pink milk, pink lifesavers, pink shirt, and pink gum!

 Eden showing off her pink new shorts that are purely for kung fu kicking (?), her pink bubbles, lip gloss.....

and of course: PINK FINGERNAILS drying while breakfast is prepared!
Pink milk plates & napkins, pink heart eggs, pink whipped cream and strawberries, heart pancakes,red bacon & carnations, ketchup, and syrup...yum-they are so spoiled. Although I want them to have the "memory" of this special occasion. I'm thinking I don't want to have to keep up with this zealous attempt every year! LOL - at least they kept saying it was the best day of their lives!

"PINK"

"Sisters out playing in Pink shorts with their Pink soccer ball"

(Notice Baxter Bear buckled into the swing. Eden is student of the week and gets to journal about all the places she takes Baxter; the classroom bear this week with her. She is taking her job very seriously and loving Baxter sleeping with her so much!)

Eden got to go out shopping with daddy and got the new outfit she is wearing. I think they picked really well; and I'm glad they didn't pick PINK! This is the girls excited to tear into some cards and treats at dinnertime that family and friends had dropped off throughout the day.
Pink Applesauce & Pink Ranch dressing. Red plates and Red Ketchup

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Off to spend some Red, White, & Pink time with Grandma Jolene and Papa!
Pink heart treasure boxes.....Pink Slinky's!!!
" Help me please Papa; mine so stuck!"

"Ahhhhh, Pink candy, Pink & Red suckers, and Care Bear Fruit snacks!"

Yup, this is either how slow my camera is or how fast Hallé is, because it was capturing a sweet kiss and hug of thanks to Grandma Jolene for the Pink Blessings of Love.
