Magic is Everywhere!

Of the many things that I have learned from my children, it is that magic can be found in the craziest of places! Awhile ago, I was curling my hair when Ethan came running into the bathroom exclaiming that the garbage man had just picked up our garbage. "MOM! The garbage truck just came and it was shiny and blue and white! And it picked up our garbage and dumped it into its back! (Sigh) It was so magical!"

With this, I realized that magic can be found everywhere. So, I have been collecting my "magic" moments and am posting them for the world to see.


EASTER-
The Easter bunny hid eggs in our back yard this year. Now, I don't think it can get more magic than finding eggs in grass!!! Notice the look of surprise on the faces of these beautiful children! See......magic.


Next, I have always wondered how food can make it's way from a plate to a person and yet, NEVER make it inside the mouth.....must be magic.

We have told Ethan that he can go to Disneyland for his 5th birthday. Since his birthday is in October, this gives us a good 4-5 months of GREAT leverage. Ethan wanted to make his room like Disneyland to prepare himself for the experience. So we made a paper chain to countdown the days to "Disney Magic." We hung it up in his room and now every time he enters through the door he shouts...."Welcome to Disneyland!!!" It's magic for him, and excites him each night as we take a "link" off of our chain to become yet, one day closer!

Last, we decided to make cookies! As I walked into the kitchen, I found Ethan and Isaac peering through the oven door watching the cookie balls, turn into actual cookies! As much as this was magic for them, I realized that it was magic for me as well....see, they ACTUALLY turned out to be the most perfect cookies that I have ever made! Woo Hoo!!!

I am going to try and post more "magic moments" as they occur. It helps me to see the great things in my life.
