Happy Friday, everyone. Need a smile? Scroll on through . . .

Some things that made me happy:

Tumblin’ boy

Tumblin’ girl

Snoozin’ boys

The family that climbs together . . .

We like to call this “lion jumping”!

She likes to dress up . . . and then play basketball!

This one is up to no good.

Brudders

And some things that made you happy:

From The Sadder But Wiser Girl: Posing with the “silly tree” at the park!

Daisy from TX: Daughters Summer and Wynter reunited after 8 days . . . so happy!

Stephanie from MD: Piper found some joy in a rainstorm on our Orlando vacation!

Amanda from X: It's blurry, but this is one of my all time favorite pictures of my daughter, Lilly. Taken just last week.

Amanda from FL: It’s blurry, but this is one of my all time favorite pictures of my daughter, Lilly. Taken just last week.

From Chronically Sick Manic Mother: 8 years later!

From DadNCharge: Spending a week with my parents whom we only see maybe 3 times a year in person because they live in Chicago. We attended a wedding together. We hiked a canyon together, had s’mores, and have spent the time enjoying each other’s company.

Erin from MO: First day of ballet.

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!
