Quote of the day from M,
She was sitting in my lap and we were talking about the colors of our eyes. The first four children and myself all have blue eyes and they change all the time. We go anywhere from really pale blue, grey, bright and dark blue (sometimes the blue looks purple).
M and Jud both have brown eyes. Well she says to me...Mama everyone else (kids) have blue eyes like you cause that's their "personality" and me and Tank (our St. Bernard) and daddy have brown eyes and that's our "personality"!
I just love the little things that she comes up with and the big words that she uses as if she is grown instead of only being a brand new 7 year old. As I sit here I can't think off the top of my head the word that should replace "personality" with, and honestly it was really too cute to correct!
I wish I had always kept up the funny and sometimes wistful things that my children have said to me or each other over the years. Sometimes we just have to let them be. So for today our "personality" determines the color of our eyes :)
What color are your eyes???
My monkeys are my own personal fairy tale in real life...

- I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
