A Friday Smile

harbor 2

All three of my boys have fallen in love with random objects throughout their life.

And also, slept with them.

Cooper used to sleep with 8×10 photos of our family. And puzzles. And 12 blankets.

Sawyer used to sleep with you swords and nerf guns. He also wore a swimsuit every day for over a year. His reasoning, he wanted to be ready to go swimming if someone asked.

And Harbor? Well, he has been known to sleep with monster trucks, Nerf Guns, a hockey stick, shovels, bey blades, and even his favorite spoon.

But this recent one takes the cake.

A few days ago his dad told him that with spring upon us, it was time to pick up dog poop in the backyard.

He called it a party!

Harbor was ALL IN! He asked for a bucket and shovel. Both needed to be blue.

He told his teacher all about his his upcoming adventure. He talked nonstop for two days about the big poo poo hunt. So much so she asked me about it.

I laughed so hard!

And yesterday, his dad bought a new scooper. Harbor found his new favorite thing.

When he woke up this morning I told him today is the day. Poop day.

His life is complete.

I never want to forget these adorable moments with these kids.

Have a great Friday!
