Well the truth is that we’ve been silly for a long time now. I know, I know. Many would claim we always have been but you see, The Henderson’s discovered SILLY BANDZ back in the spring, and we really haven’t been the same since. What are Silly Bandz, you ask? Why they are only the latest craze- creating gimmick making a company out of Ohio very rich. They are also the reason that Teachers everywhere are pulling out their hair. (As it turns out they have been banned from many schools across America.) Remember those jelly bracelets that were all the rage back in the 80′s? Well Silly Bandz are those, except they come in all kinds of silly and fun shapes, and are likened to the Beanie Babies hysteria of the 90′s! Kids wear tons of them up their arms, and trade them. Unless they are my kids, and then they wear them up their arms and still manage to leave a trail of them through the house creating many the narrow miss with the vacuum. (And on occasion they trade with the neighbors). As soon as we were introduced to Silly Bandz I will admit that I felt so “In the know”.  Our collection has vastly grown, and our wallets have mysteriously shrunk since these pictures were taken. To my kidlets delight I sport the silly bandz too. I can’t help it, I’m just a cool “with the times” mom. Actually, I’ll do just about anything to hear them giggle. And that usually involves being silly!! So If you didn’t know about Silly Bandz, consider yourself clued in! We love them!

Smiles from the Heart:

Hearing my littleman sing silly songs all day. (See, we are SOOO silly! We really should change our name to the Silly’s.)

My baby girl brushing and playing with my hair.

29 kisses on my cheek by my littleman. (Yes, he counted.)

My baby girls use of the word “sure”. i.e “I sure can do that!” “You sure are making us laugh!” “I sure love you!”

My hubby…My bestfriend… My one and only. Absolutely no one knows me better. We’re Stuck Like Glue. And I’m so blessed.

Smiles From the Heart:

Waking up to sweet words from the hubby.

Shopping for all of  the supplies to make a special dinner.

My littleman taking a 3 hour nap when he got home from school.

My baby girl playing to her hearts content in the garden hose while her brother slept.

Surprising my kidlets with a “Special Drink”. (Recipe can be found here.)

Enjoying the warm evening outside in our jammies after bath time.

Doing a million cartwheels and handstands for the benefit of my babies. I was completely dizzy, but my heart was smiling… hearing them giggle always does that to me. <3

Watching my babies delight as they attempted cartwheels and handstands of their own.

A friend (who might just be the unofficial president of the unofficial Sarah Henderson Photography Fan Club) and all of her encouraging complementing words. This cracked me up: “You need to update your blog. I’m thinking twice a day. No more than three though.”  Thanks Kim!! You always bring the biggest smile, and the reddest cheeks to my face!(She is also going to kill me for the whole “Wordless Wednesday” thing. lol)

Ok, so not exactly wordless per se, but I had much to smile about today! Feeling quite blessed by that!
