Day 224

Day 224

Melt my heart – If you were to just glance at this photo you probably wouldn’t see anything that melts your heart.  It just looks like stuff sitting on my stairs.  Which it is.  This is how my stairs look every night.  Except much, much worse than this.  The kids leave things lying around before they go to bed and most of the time it doesn’t get taken care of until AFTER they are in bed, which is ok because then I can appreciate all of their little things.  It’s like pieces of their personality left behind in a trail – their favorite hat, their handwriting, a favorite book, the “toy” of the week.  Tonight it was Ady’s sipee cup, her ONE boot and Kaylee’s lipgloss that melted my heart and made the rough day worth it.  When it’s quiet at night it’s amazing how different a pile of “stuff” can look.

it's so funny, I feel the same way. I usually get sentimental about little shoes. They just do something to me.
