Happy New Year! I think my New Year's resolution should be to get caught up on Smile posts, ha! Maybe my Word of the Year for 2019 should be progress or consistency or finish in order to get up to date, but alas, I have chosen another goal that I will share soon. My plan is to blog more frequently again though.
These Smile are way back from the summer months, when the weather was warm and our days were filled with fun in the sun.
1. Nicholas calling his calf his "leg cheek."
2. We canned dozens of quarts and pints of veggies from both my parents' and grandparents' gardens, including sweet relish, crushed tomatoes, bread & butter pickles, pickled banana peppers, pickled jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, and green beans.
3. Leighton and Jake built a bean bag toss game for our carnival night to match the shipwrecked theme of Vacation Bible School.
4. Nicholas refuses to believe any pictures of Leighton with hair is his daddy, no matter how much I try to convince him. I have an older picture of him as the lock screen on my phone.
Nicholas: "Can you show me the other daddy on your phone?"
5. Me: ". . . and I think we should get some chocolate ice cream."
Alyssa: "Ooh! Wait, you did say chocolate, right?"
Me: "Yes."
Alyssa: "Those are my two favorite words together."
6. The surprise I found in the refrigerator.
7. Me, to Leighton: "Hey, these kids are smart. You can't trick them."
Alyssa: "Those are my two favorite words together."

Alyssa: "You taught us."
8. One of the days of VBS was crazy hat night. When Alyssa found out, she immediately knew she wanted to wear a fez. The next morning, she drew her own pattern on felt, cut it out, sewed it together, and added a tassel.

9. Junior High Girl (JHG): "Did you graduate yet?"
Me: "Graduate what?"
JHG: "High school."
Me, chuckling: "Yes, I graduated high school, and I graduated from college many years ago."
JHG: "How many years?"
Me: "18. I'm 36 years old."
JHG: "Wow. My mom is 35. You look young."
10. Alyssa: "I have common sense, I just choose to ignore it."
Me: "Why?"
Alyssa: "Everyone does nowadays."
What made you Smile this week?
