little miss personality…

i have always (except for very recently) kept a journal of quotes that i run across & find inspiring & i found this one that i had written down in an old book today…

“The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life & elevating them to an art” William Morris.

i needed to see this today.

although, i still haven’t figured out how to transform my thinking to turn 5 loads of laundry into an art-form… but i am sincerely trying!!

the last few days…

(sunday 2-24-13) there was plenty of snow still on the ground from friday but finally on sunday we got some MUCH NEEDED sunshine so we took advantage of it & played in the snow for just a bit…

she got a little freaked out a couple of times when she just kept sinking deep into the snow & needed a little help out.

2-26-13… watching cartoons early in the morning & snuggling with her dollie in her own little chair…

sophia now wants to always carry a “purse” around with her. she has made this gift bag into her purse & it is full of toys & stuffed animals, now whenever i tell her we are leaving she goes & grabs her purse because that is what mommy does. the other day i was leaving the house & she was staying home with daddy, she knew i was leaving & she went & put her hat on & grabbed her big, heavy purse & pointed to the door… my little dollie….

self-portraits…

she is loving drawing at her little table…

having music to play has changed our house. now we can turn off the t.v., play some music & dance around & it makes sophia so happy. shane was dancing with sophia, holding her hands & moving around & sophia wasn’t sure what to do then shane & mikayla started dancing & shane was spinning her around from one hand to the other & then sophia got it. she is getting pretty good at her spins now…

she loves all music. i have a pretty strange ipod, there is classic rock, country, alternative, rap, pop,jazz…whatever it is on there & sophia loves it all. i love that!! we were eating lunch & she was very happy with the music that was playing…
