Ordinary Miracles

Anna Banana being herself.
Leah LOVES dandelions. She spends hours picking them and blowing the seeds everywhere.

This morning I thought I would treat myself to a Diet Coke with lime from Sonic. As a nice mom, I shared my drink with the girls. By the time it got passed back to me, it was sucked dry! Lesson learned: Never offer a caffeinated beverage before nap time. While Raychel was at school this afternoon, Anna, Leah ran around like crazy girls all jittery and silly. I had to take a few pictures of all the goofy-ness.

I love this song from Sarah McLachlan. She is one of my all-time favorites. I'm always in the mood for a little Sarah. I posted the lyrics because I think it's so pretty. It's a nice little reminder as a mom that everyday is filled with ordinary miracles. Charles Dickens said it beautifully, "It is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us."

It’s not that unusual When everything is beautiful. It’s just another ordinary miracle today. The sky knows when its time to snow, Don’t need to teach a seed to grow. It’s just another ordinary miracle today. Life is like a gift they say Wrapped up for you everyday; Open up and find a way To give some of your own. Isn’t it remarkable? Like every time a rain drop falls, It’s just another ordinary miracle today. Birds in winter have their fling But always make it home by spring. It’s just another ordinary miracle today. When you wake up everyday Please don’t throw your dreams away; Hold them close to your heart Cause we’re all a part Of the ordinary miracle. Ordinary miracle Do you want to see a miracle? ohh ohh ohh, ohhh ohh ohh... It seems so exceptional That things just work out after all. It’s just another ordinary miracle today. Sun comes up and shines so bright And disappears again at night. It’s just another ordinary miracle today. ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohhh ohh... It’s just another ordinary miracle today.
