Shiny, Happy, Sparkly, Feel-Good Friday: 7/5/13

July 5, 2013 by Mamma Wild Thing 4 Comments

If you’re from the states, happy day after the 4th of July. I hope your kids and animals weren’t up all night as a result of neighbors setting off fireworks! If you’re not from the states, well, happy regular Friday! We’ve made it another week. 🙂

Some things that made me happy:

If you're arm has to fall asleep, this is the best reason

If your arm has to fall asleep, this is the best reason

Playing in the sprinkler at Gramma and Pop’s house . . . whenever we want now because we live so close!

A little kiddie pool time at home

Running around like crazy people in the backyard

Told you that’s where you could find the baby!

An ode to my hubby!

Brother birthday huggies

Getting ready for birthday cake!

Yessss!!

Pretty scenery

And some things that made you happy:

Ricky and Claire Kent from Sydney, Australia: Daddy and Saxon doing selfies. (Ok, seriously, how cute are they?!)

S from Does This Match? in her spirited red, white, and blue 4th of July outfit! Don’t you just love her?

Julianne from MD: My big boy playing checkers with his pseudo big brother (my 11 year old cousin). My princess is supervising.

Melissa and Julianne from MD: “This is a lot more fun that it looks!”; What’s gonna work? Teamwork!!; Cousins, looking over the fence

As always, thanks to everyone who submitted some happiness! Please keep it coming. Until next week…

Fridays on Raising Wild Things are Shiny, Happy, Sparkly, Feel-Good Fridays! Since parenting can sometimes suck the life out of me, I wanted to do these posts as reminders of the good, the great things that happened during the week amid all the crazy, exhausting, sometimes frustrating, sometimes maddening, sometimes head-exploding moments that seem to linger in my memory and can put me in a mommy funk. What makes you happy? Please share!
