Oooh, I just realized it’s Friday the 13th. Eeeek. Hopefully these adorable pictures will counteract any creepiness you have going on. Hope you all have had a great week!
Some things that made me happy:

Some water fun at Gramma and Pop’s (although I think we need a bigger pool, lol)

My sweet Bean chilling and showing off her new bike.

His very first two-wheeler — and of course the shark helmet!!

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!
